I am always delighted by the CoJ community with its wonderful hobbies, kind kids, wise advice, and funny stories.
Reader Idea: Do you gift a signature gift?
When Emilly wrote: “Is it crazy that the most important thing on my holiday wish list is to find something perfect and easy to wrap that I can buy many of and give to everyone on my list?!” I remembered one of the best pieces of advice we received from the CoJ community mindset. A few years ago, M.E. wrote: “Since my family is huge, I’m a fan of the signature gift at the holidays – something nice and small that works for everyone. This year, it will be a knit hat. All my siblings’ kids will get one, and they will all be exactly the same so no one gets upset about who likes which color best.”
How great is that? For knit hats, I love this ribbed style for $15 that comes in six colors. They’re warm, cozy, and practical, and everyone looks good in them. This scarf for $15 would also be a wonderful gift. The cherry red is my favorite – it’s always a classic color that wraps over a coat.
Other ideas from CoJ readers:
“I buy my sisters-in-law the same thing, and they open it at the same time on Christmas Day. One year, I filled a basket with ‘things I can’t live without’ and it was such a hit that we made it a tradition. Some of the things I included were face creams, cozy sweatshirts, and raw wool Costco slippers.” – Jean
“My dad gives a signature gift during Hanukkah every year to my adult siblings and me. Last year, he gave us travel phone chargers and hid cash inside each gift!” – Jacqueline
“I gave a signature gift the first year after graduating college when I was a poor young adult still wanting to exchange gifts. I chose engraved mugs from William Sonoma and enjoyed watching everyone open them and laugh when they realized each gift was the same. And these mugs? Everyone is still using them after five years.”
What do you think? Do you choose a signature gift? What would it be? CoJ reader Sarah says: “I feel like I’ve discovered a trick that saves me so much time and mental space.” I’m going to order some hats… Kiss and hug
