A gift for the friend who ranks everything

For the friend with an opinion on everything. How to make it personal before you hand it over, and when to order so it shows up on time.

Everyone has the friend who ranks everything. Restaurants, movies, your exes, the group chat. Give them somewhere to put those opinions: a tier list they can hang on the wall and pin their actual stuff to.

Who it's a good gift for

  • The friend who goes to every concert and keeps every ticket
  • Anyone heading to college or moving into a first apartment
  • A graduate, so four years of stuff ends up on one wall
  • Couples, for ranking every date spot together
  • Anyone whose dog is clearly S tier

Make it personal before you give it

  1. Pin something in S first. A photo of the two of you, or a ticket from a show you went to together.
  2. Put something funny in F. The restaurant that gave you both food poisoning. The team they hate.
  3. Add push pins. They don't come with it, so a small pack of colored pins makes it ready to use.
  4. Leave the rest empty. Filling it is the fun part.

When to order

Each one is printed to order in 2 to 5 business days, then takes about 3 to 7 business days to arrive. For a birthday or a holiday, order about two weeks ahead. You can ship it straight to them at checkout. There's no gift wrap, so give them a heads up that a package is coming.

Which size to pick

The 36 x 26 in is the classic size and fits over a bed or a desk. The XL 60 x 50 in has rows twice as tall, for the friend with way too many opinions. Both have free US shipping. See them on The Tier Board.
