A friend of mine made some collages of birds and put them in IKEA frames and painted the frames with a wash of white paint and gifted them to me and I still cherish them a decade later! Handmade gifts are the best.

As someone with fine curly hair, I also endorse flax seed hair gel.

I have tried aloe vera and epsom salt in the past, but just flax seed with essential oil is my favorite.

S. Jane, I love all these ideas. I think they’re more thoughtful gifts than like a gift card which most people just want a gift card or money these days… but this is something that you can really remember someone by and I think it’s very heartfelt and lovely 💕

Love the notion that “Ideally, gifts can be a way to say, I see you, I know you… I get you.”

As someone whose love languages steer more towards words than gifts, that line is touching and eye opening. This has inspired me to dig deeper in my own gift giving endeavors!
