Greetings Gift-Givers!

 

Hi gift-givers! Today we tune into a gift that keeps on giving, minus the interruptions!

 

One-ish more thing(s)
before today’s gift ideas

 

Thank you to everyone who set aside a few minutes to answer last week’s call for subscriber-submitted gift stories. If you haven’t contributed a gift story yet, I’d be excited to hear from you!

Gift idea time! Here’s a story of a
great gift to spark your creativity

 

The “Digital Upgrade" Gift:

I am a minimalist and my family knows I don't like clutter. They have been very accommodating when it comes to my birthday and Hanukkah. Many of my gifts are experiences or consumables (food, wine, etc.) that I can enjoy, but won't fill up our house. One gift I especially appreciated was getting a Patreon subscription to a podcast that I enjoy so I no longer have to listen to the ads.  It’s an experiential gift that supported a podcaster that I love and it also helped me get rid of "mental clutter" by removing the annoying ads.

Subscribers putting BGC
gift ideas into action

 

Have you been inspired by a gift idea shared in the BGC newsletter? It would be the highlight of my week to hear from you about it! Here’s who made my week:

Inspired by 🎁 Immortalize a plush friendship:

We gave our 4-year-old a framed portrait of his favorite stuffed animal to hang in his room. We took a photo and found someone who was good at Photoshop to make it look more like a painting. He loves it!
