How to select a tarot deck as a gift? Here are some tips for you!

Okay, so, I wanted to get my friend a tarot deck as a gift, but I was totally lost. I mean, there are so many decks out there! How do you even pick one? So, I did what any normal person would do – I dived into the internet to figure this out.

First, I started looking around and just browsing. You know, just getting a feel for what’s out there. I went to a few stores that sell tarot decks and just picked them up, looked at the art, and flipped through them. And, honestly, that was super helpful.

Look and Feel

I realized pretty quickly that the artwork is a big deal. Some decks have this super traditional vibe, while others are way more modern and abstract. Some are colorful, some are dark, and some are just plain weird. It really depends on what you like. Or, in this case, what my friend would like. I tried to imagine her using the deck, and that helped me narrow things down a bit.

Then, I started thinking about her experience level. She’s a total newbie, so I knew I needed something beginner-friendly. I read some stuff online that said that some decks are easier to interpret than others. They have simpler imagery and come with guidebooks that explain everything in a way that’s not too overwhelming. So, I kept that in mind.

My intuition

But here’s the thing – at the end of the day, I felt like it came down to my intuition. I handled a bunch of decks, and some just felt right. It’s hard to explain, but it was like a vibe thing. I tried to picture my friend connecting with the cards, and that helped me make the final call. I finally decided a deck that I feel is good for her.

And about that “hand get hot” thing I read online. Well, I tried waving my hands over the cards, but I didn’t really feel anything. Maybe I’m just not that sensitive, or maybe it’s just a myth. Who knows? But, yeah, didn’t work for me.

So, yeah, that’s how I ended up picking a tarot deck for my friend. It was a bit of a journey, but I think I made a good choice. Hopefully, she’ll like it! We’ll see. And maybe one day, I get my own tarot deck for myself.
