Christmas, Channukah, birthdays...the gift giving (or receiving) never ends. My top recommendations are simple:

• Experiences > Things
• Gift Giver: Ask the person you're gifting what they want, or listen to what they want in conversation
• Gift Receiver: Tell your friends and family what you want. Seriously, it's okay! Better to speak up than create clutter
• Group Gifts: Cut costs and cut the guess work for everyone

Obviously #1 on my list: A gift card to Leah Mari

ALSO:

"I'm a size window seat in plane tickets" aka vacation
Workout classes
Spa treatments
Sip and paint class
NBA/NFL tickets
Concert tickets
Grocery store gift card
Date night: Babysitting + restaurant/movie gift card
Adventure: Skydiving, bungee jumping, etc.

Want to get something tangible? Go for things that last. Think timeless and quality.
