The Familiar, but Special Gift
Sometimes a familiar kind of object, chosen with care, feels just right.
This kind of gift works because it begins with something you already know about the person. What they carry. How they travel. What they enjoy using. Look toward the little things that already fit naturally into their life, and you may find something that feels especially like them.
