I remember the first time I realized the impact of a well-thought-out gift. My boss and I were both pregnant with our first at the same time. We were in the business of book publishing (text-books, but books none the less). We were treated to a joint baby shower. I’ll never forget her gift to me. She started off my daughter’s library with a gift of hard-bound classic children’s books, with a personalized note to my daughter in the front of Make Way for Duckling. I, on the other hand, gave her a basket of toiletries from her registry. Nicely wrapped toiletries, but still, they were toiletries. The CEO, who also attended, out thought my gift too. After telling a charming story about mistaking Desitin for toothpaste, she handed each of us a gift, which we unwrapped and found to be silver spoons.

The birth of my first baby sort of started me feeling like a woman of a household. And as such, I was surprised to find gift buying to be one of my nonstop responsibilities. (I was also surprised about the nonstop laundry.) After seeing so many kind tokens and well-thought-through gifts, I started to think maybe all this was worth cataloging. And so giverslog was born. I hope you find some inspiration here, and share some too.
