Making My List Checking it Twice
I've pulled together a few gift sets to get you thinking about what you'll be gifting to all the people who mean the most to your day-to-day yet you have absolutely NO CLUE what to get a person who already has everything. I hate (wait, hate is a strong word), I very much dislike giving gift cards or money as presents. I also don't want to just buy anything with zero emotion or thought attached to it.
I start early. I make lists. I jot down notes. I think about it. And think about it. So here, I offer you a few ways to give some thoughtful and practical gifts to those in your life that make your world a bit more complete.
