A Gift Guide for Everyday Basic Needs that Aren’t Boring

My gift giving practices include some very simple rules for gifts that makes it easy to shop and give. Besides books and games, my favorite things to give are experiential gifts and everyday gifts that are consumable and never go out of style. It will be a little difficult this year to give an experiential gift while we’re still uncertain about what will be open and when/where we can go in 2021. So, I’ll be focusing on those practical gifts that will definitely be consumed and how to make those gifts fun. This is a great time to step out of the ordinary and have fun appreciating things we use every day.
