šŸŽTHE GIFT:

The ā€œrite of passage" Gift

Iā€™m now in my 70ā€™s and still to this day one of my favorite gifts ever was a brand-new Rawlings baseball mitt that my father gave me leading up to my first little league game. I think what made the gift so meaningful was that my dad was celebrating my rite of passage from being a little kid into my adolescence.

šŸ’”TIPS FOR YOUR GIFT:

  • When brainstorming a gift for someone, consider what rite of passage they might be going through and find a gift that relates to the event

  • Examples of rites of passage: starting a certain grade level, first recital, getting license, prom, first job, 1st ___ together, breakup/divorce, relocation, first kid, promotion, retirement, click here for more examples)

  • Many rites of passage are often under-recognized ā€’ thatā€™s your opportunity to give a gift that will stand out

  • Rite of passage gifts donā€™t have to be given at the time of the event (e.g. a gift celebrating someone passing their CPA exam in Sep can be given in Dec for xmas)
