QUESTIONS

Everything
you wanted
to know.

What can I give for Christmas with $50?

An experience (a class, a dinner, tickets), a quality object like headphones or a reading lamp, or a basket of artisan products. At $50 it pays to pick one thing, done well.

Is an object or an experience better?

If they already have everything, an experience almost always wins: it takes no space and becomes a memory. If they love their things, pick an object tied to a specific passion.
