Truths + Gratitude Gift Guide

Finding the best gift for someone (despite the circumstances), can become what seems like the biggest task. Throw in having to get multiple gifts for the holidays, and it may start to feel like the bath gift sets are the way to go. A few years ago, I really started to realize that there just wasn't anything that I could buy for my family members that they needed or wanted. For all of us adults, we have finally reached that age where if we want something, we get it. If we need something, we save up and begrudgingly get it. When it comes around Christmas time, my husband and I will sit around saying "I don't know what I want. What do you want?"

One of my favorite things to give (for any gift giving time) is an experience. Giving an experience allows the receiver to go on an adventure, create memories, and essentially have the gift of time. Time is something that we cannot create nor buy, so giving a gift that allows for a memorable time, in my opinion is money well spent. 

T+G has created the ultimate gift giving "idea spring board" to help you get those juices flowing, and allow you to give something in an intentional and meaningful manner. Check out the categories below of what may interest someone, and run wild with the idea!
