I make lists year round of things I see that remind me of people or that they mention in passing. Then when an occasion arises I have a plan.
For my last birthday my husband surprised me by having my babies (aka dogs) professionally photographed while I was (working). He's basically screwed now because he'll never be able to top that gift. (A-Lister)
For the person who has everything: Trip to Space on Virgin (A-Lister)

We love the idea of bringing a really nice bottle of olive oil as a host gift. So few people buy nice olive oil for themselves -- it’s such a treat.
iTunes Gift Card
Make someone dinner. There’s not much you can do that’s more thoughtful than to make them something yourself.

Niven Morgan fragrant candles! Mustique is my favorite scent (A-Lister)
A photo of a tree and its roots. My photographer friend snapped the photo and framed it. When she gave it to me, she said this symbolized how I have depth and my roots go deep. This gift was so heart-felt and inspiring!
I gave my husband a watch for our 5th anniversary. I love watches because they are timeless (no pun intended!) and I especially love watches on guys.
You can never go wrong with something that’s vintage or antique, because there’s a story behind it and the gift can be super meaningful!
