Gift guides have become increasingly popular in both American and Brazilian consumer culture, particularly during holiday seasons. In the US, major retailers and media outlets publish extensive gift guides starting in October-November. In Brazil, similar guides are published during the holiday season (December) and for other occasions like Mother's Day (May) and Father's Day (August). The term reflects the modern shopping culture of organized, curated recommendations rather than traditional word-of-mouth gift suggestions.
