Nicknames
I don't think we realize how important nicknames are to our society. When I was a wee lad I thought my name was un-nickname-able and my hopes and spirits were crushed. Years later I have earned a nickname so well that it has replaced my actual name. I think everyone deserves to feel the joy of having a nickname. The community and bonding attached to giving and receiving a nickname is unmatched. Truly a life altering experience.

LOVE my friend’s dad would always yell “All Hail Ley” when he saw me, which is the best nickname a Hailey can get

Give people nicknames. Give everyone a nickname. It doesn’t even need to make a ton of sense, but I think it’s a sign of effraction for someone to have something special you call them. Make it their contact name too.

it's special
not many people my age are named it which is why i used to hate it as a kid, but i've grown to love it. precisely because it's not "fitting" for my age practically everyone in my life calls me nicknames, which are fun and silly, but are also NOT my name, so it can get tiring sometimes lol. i honestly adore it now and when someone close to me (so professors/academic figures/etc. don't count) uses it i kind of percieve it as a sign of respect, even an act of love. it's intimate, really. i'd love it if people used it more :').

cup cozies
Cup cozies are the most underrated tool man has created. Not only does it prevent leaving behind condensation rings on desks and other surfaces, but keeps your hands warm while you drink a iced chai latte in below 20 degree weather? Sign me up! My cozy is handmade which makes it even more special, but I bet your cozy will have a great personality.
