Actually, I think my favorite gifts are usually more of gifting experiences rather than actual gifts. Surprising my dad for his 60th birthday was a pretty good one. A bunch of family members (including me) all flew in to celebrate his birthday by going to a Cardinal’s game. The surprise part of it actually got ruined, but it was still a good present.

There’s very limited quantities (and one year there was none because someone picked all the fruit and we had 0 plums — seriously?!!)
I also knit scarves and people seem to appreciate those so I like to give them.
An item I think that you may want to offer is the “hot chocolate kits” that sparked my interest in your website in the first place.

My most favorite gift I’ve given was to my husband on our first anniversary – a ring made with Koa wood, native to Hawaii where we were married :)

She used an antler I picked up on our property and a turquoise rock I had in it. It is for our 50th anniversary Dec. 30. I haven’t given it yet but I know it will be my favorite.
