Gift pairing works because two specific small things signal more deliberation than one larger generic thing. Examples: a BBQ rub flight ($35) plus a cast iron grill press ($35), or a custom photo book ($45) plus an engraved leather keychain ($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.
