Happy Sunday, friends. It’s that time of year:

This time of year can be fraught for many a reason, one of which is the rampant consumerism that people tell us signify emotional love. That said… I frigging love gifts. I love buying them. I love getting them. I love when I can see a person and add something meaningful to their life and I love when they can do the same for me too.

I also get wanting to be thoughtful around consumerism, capitalism, finances, and all that’s wrapped up in that. I really do.

However. I just plain like to buy all the things.

Ann Friedman had a beautiful newsletter last week on gift-giving and ideas for gifts that I encourage you…
