šŸŽTHE GIFT:

The ā€œIOU DoorDash Delivery" Gift

My friendā€™s go-to gift is an IOU DoorDash delivery. At my baby shower, as her gift she gave us a card with an IOU for a dinner delivery from our favorite takeout place forĀ 2 months after our baby was born. We eventually realized how genius this was because support from our family/friends was abundant immediately after our baby was born, but waned after a few months.

šŸŒ®WHY THIS GIFT IS GREAT:

  • Minimal effort - just a card + an IOU

  • Last minute gift that doesnā€™t feel last minute at all

  • The IOU delays the fulfillment a gift until itā€™s most most valuable

  • Universally appreciated (ā€œGood, effortless, free food?...Yes, pleaseā€ - said everyone)
