I’ve given an avocado, a mango, an old magazine… you name it… it’s honestly especially fun when it’s an acquaintance’s birthday for some reason.

A friend saw this on her recent CA trip — Landers is an amazing vintage store that also produces it’s own product. Illustrations are right up my alley. It’s nice to be thought of + have someone find something I would actually use.

that usually includes a robust list of what they do/are passionate about, which will give you a good jumping off point.
HOWEVER, I am also a big fan of renegade gifting. the most treasured items I’ve ever received as gifts are things that I’d never buy for myself (and therefore would never ask for) but are things the gift giver associates with me.
my mom gave me a calmansi tree one Christmas to remind me of my childhood in the Philippines. one of my bffs got me a handmade leather journal with the last sentence of my thesis stamped in the cover when I graduated. my ex got me pottery classes at a local studio and handmade a fun gift certificate for my last birthday.
I love to give books bc that’s what I’m passionate about, and it can be a fun way to mix my personality with the receiver. the best part about receiving a gift is feeling truly seen by the person

Asking for a coffee for here with a real mug, sitting and chilling while you sip - no phones, no computers… (i guess this is what Europeans just do… and we should too)
