Gifts I Like to Give + Get

Gifts I like to give and get . . .

When a birthday rolls around, I tend to stick to these gift categories. They’re my easy to give, no-fail strategy: sweet treats, an outing for two, pampering picks and fresh flowers. 

Sweet Treats

Cupcakes are always a good idea, especially for birthdays. I like to pick up a half dozen from my specialty grocer along with some candles and a box of matches.

An Outing for Two

Be it a lunch date or a trip to the nail salon, it’s so fun to gift an outing just for the two of you. This is the perfect opportunity to catch up, celebrate and bond over a shared experience.

Pampering Picks

Things like colorful nail polish, bubble bath or soothing candles are just the ticket. They’re indulgent enough to feel special but practical enough to actually get used.

Fresh Flowers

You can never go wrong with a bouquet of daisies, garden roses or wildflowers. For the next week, it’ll act as a pretty reminder of just how much you care.

What’s the verdict? Which of these gifts would you like to get?
