I’m not good at gifts. But I do have friends and family who are really great at picking out just the right gift, so I know a little about what these “good gifts” should look like. This holiday here are my recommendations for meaningful gifts that provide warmth long after the wrapping paper is gone.
One of my favorite gifts of all time was dinner with my friend Lauren. She invited me and David to her house where she prepared a simple and comforting meal. That meal was the first time I had zuchini in seasame oil and it still remains a favorite. (image via Stay at Stove Dad)
It can't be all Netflix and cheap wine. I love theme gifts: movie tickets and gift card for snacks make for a great date night.

Teach someone something new. Our CEO asked for my help in learning to tweet--probably more of a gift to me than to him, to be able to share this skill. (Social Media by ScissorsPaperMouse on Etsy)
