28. 0:59favorite a tool like a pair of Cutco
29. 1:01scissors I'm never gonna forget those
30. 1:03Cutco scissors Mark cardena those are my
31. 1:06friends who gifted them to me twice in a
32. 1:08row the second time I was totally stoked
33. 1:10out of my mind I still have both pairs
34. 1:12Cutco scissors are amazing so if you can
35. 1:14think of an amazing gift like that that
36. 1:15you can give to people it doesn't have
37. 1:16to be anything super fancy or super
38. 1:18unique it's just an amazing thing to
39. 1:20share number two make it something
40. 1:23simple and easy whether it is your
41. 1:25favorite treats body salts candles some
42. 1:28kind of thoughtful art or poem this is a
43. 1:30great way to get you time get some
44. 1:32mindful space and then create something
45. 1:34unique and special if you like gifting
46. 1:36experiences getting online to shop for
47. 1:39these items is some of the most
48. 1:40efficient ways to get gifts whether it
49. 1:42is dinner gift cards or Groupons tickets
50. 1:46events I love gifting experiences and
51. 1:49people love experiencing them so this is
52. 1:51one of my favorite gift giving ideas any
53. 1:53type of plants is a really good idea
54. 1:55especially if those plants last longer
55. 1:57than a week and no I'm not just saying
56. 1:58this because gardening is my hobby but
57. 2:00plants are a great addition to the house
58. 2:03they uplift the room clean the air and
59. 2:05it could be any kind of plants from a
60. 2:07decorative plant to flowers and a small
61. 2:09herbal plant or even a fruit bearing
62. 2:11plant if people have space in their home
63. 2:13or on their patio or even in their
64. 2:15Garden this is a really special thing to
65. 2:17share another online idea that you can
66. 2:19do and I love this because what you buy
67. 2:21looks so pretty you don't have to gift
68. 2:23wrap it and most of the time delivery to
69. 2:26the front door is available they're
70. 2:28small services like self-care Services
71. 2:31they come in these little kits they come
72. 2:33with little bath salts candles essential
73. 2:35oils or things like Edible Arrangement
74. 2:38or Henry and David Harry and David sorry
75. 2:42I messed that up I use these Services
76. 2:43all the time none of these are sponsored
77. 2:45but these are awesome little gift
78. 2:47baskets that people love receiving them
79. 2:50myself included even though I give them
80. 2:52I love getting this stuff because it is
81. 2:55just an amazing treat it doesn't clutter
82. 2:57my space it is like kind of fancy see in
83. 3:00a sense unique but I just really enjoy
84. 3:02it and those are the times that I really
85. 3:03indulge you know those chocolate dipped
86. 3:05fruits or some wine and cheese pick your
87. 3:07poison so to speak but these are awesome
88. 3:10gifts in my opinion and I absolutely
89. 3:12enjoy sending them out last but not
90. 3:14least quality time nothing beats
91. 3:17presence and attention and you'll know
92. 3:20this when somebody actually gives you
93. 3:21real presence and attention if you have
94. 3:24that time and don't want to go out
95. 3:26shopping for a gift don't have any ideas
96. 3:28one of the best things you can do is
97. 3:29give somebody a legitimate phone call
98. 3:31ask them for tea slash coffee if you can
99. 3:34drink coffee or dinner and then take the
100. 3:36time to sit down and truly listen most
101. 3:39of the time people have their own
102. 3:40agendas nowadays they want to share
103. 3:42what's going on with their life and
104. 3:43what's exciting to them and what
105. 3:44interests them and if you take the time
106. 3:46to really sit and listen with full
107. 3:48attention and presence that gift is a
108. 3:51rarity these days and it's really one of
109. 3:53my favorite gifts in the world in fact
110. 3:55we have birthday Traditions here in the
111. 3:56family where all we do for the person's
112. 3:58birthday is give them full full presence
113. 4:00whether it's helping them clean their
114. 4:02house going out and hitting some golf
115. 4:03balls or having dinner together we give
116. 4:05that person 100 quality attention and
117. 4:08presence and regardless of whether or
118. 4:10not that's a dedicated gift that's
119. 4:12something that you can give to yourself
120. 4:13as well as your family and friends this
121. 4:16season and hopefully through the New
122. 4:18Year it's a great practice to have and
123. 4:20this is a great reminder that gift
124. 4:22giving doesn't necessarily have to come
125. 4:24down to giving a physical material item
126. 4:27it doesn't have to come down to leaning
127. 4:29into consumerism and supporting the idea
128. 4:31of having to spend money and clutter our
129. 4:33homes we can really focus on the things
130. 4:35that we value the most lean into those
131. 4:38things and then pay those things forward
132. 4:39this creates better experiences better
133. 4:41relationships for yourself for the
134. 4:43people in your life and for the rest of
135. 4:45the world so I thank you all for being
