This is a great thread. How much fancy soap and how many coffee mugs can two people give each other over a lifetime of birthdays and other? Gift certificates are just meh, unless of course it’s someone like my sister and her family, who really do need help with Target-like purchases.
My mom and I have been rolling with Oxfam the last few years. It’s special to us because (a) we can focus on helping women and (b) we can support small endeavors involving textiles, which she and I are both so fond of.
Didn’t know what to get her boyfriend (manfriend?) but he became very intrigued with Nicklesville when he was here this summer, so I made a donation there in his name. As an animal lover, he would have also appreciated a donation to FF had I thought of it first.
I’ve found folks really appreciate getting these gifts of giving.
