😃
especially when you guys have been friends for a while and you pull up one of their old playlists and are sunk into their world (a world that you were a part of!)
I just started listening to a playlist my friend made in high school with the title of our favorite coffee shop we’d always go to. I could feel her soul in that playlist and it felt like a time stamp of who we were in that moment.
So special. Highly recommend.

This is my love language.
I’ve loved It since the days of making mix CDs, so I typically keep them to 18-20 songs. Somewhere around an hour. Playlists can be infinite now, but adding self-imposed limitations forces you to make choices and be intentional. It makes for better playlists.
Sometimes I make playlists for people based around a theme (like Fall) but other times it’s a random word or word phrase like “retro futurism.” The goal is always to find those gems that people will hear for the first time and go, “Oh man, I love that song.”

for different moods, new friends who you sense have complementary taste in music to your own, for different seasons, for recent discovery, to grieve, to celebrate, to create! years later I can scroll my playlists and see where I was at, and they’re also personal time capsules in that way.

sharing music is such a beautiful thing, and there’s no better feeling than having a playlist specifically made for you <3
friends, partners, family - make them for yourself if you have no one to share with!
my spotify is linked if you wanna check out some of mine :)

I've been thinking about this a lot and have yet to find said signature book for myself but the theory behind this gift is as follows: you think of a book that you love personally but has 'crowd favorite' potential (while still not a book that everyone has read or else why give book in question as present). The gift strikes a balance between giving something that is meaningful/personal to you while also giving a gift that they actually may like. This is not the sort of thing to give to close personal friends whom you know very well as you'd rather give them something that is tailored to them specifically, but is a great gift for people who do not fall in that category or people whom you are struggling to shop for. Again, I am still thinking about what my signature book will be but can imagine that once I find it, it will simplify gift-giving. Also you build aura as you give this book out consistently; it becomes strongly associated with you within the social circles in which you run (not that this should be the purpose of a good gift, just an added benefit).
