Gift pairing works because two specific small things signal more deliberation than one larger generic thing. Examples: a single-origin chocolate flight ($35) plus a tea tasting box ($40), or a custom photo book ($45) plus a hand-poured candle ($30). Best for budgets in the $50 to $120 band, which is the awkward middle where one gift looks small but two small gifts look intentional.
