Gift a thing or an experience??? We say experiences are always the way to go!

We’ve read over and over that experiences go further in encouraging happiness than “things” ever will,  but when gifting, we still crave a real life item or thing we can hold in our hands. We like to present a present! To that end, may we introduce….

THE BEST GIFT SUBSCRIPTION BOXES: 

The Farmers Finds

Bringing the best of the nation’s local farmers markets right to your door. Each $20 monthly box from The Farmers Finds contains a small batch find from a local farmers market - just not YOUR local farmers market. Who says you need to travel to explore? Could be freshly ground chili from the Santa Fe Farmers Market, Honey from the Carmel Valley in CA, a funky kitchen tool from Austin, TX, a beautiful jam from upstate NY. A different surprise product and maker story waits inside each box. The best way to “shop local” with national impact. 

The Farmers Finds is great for just about anyone - from kids to grandparents, bosses and employees. Everyone loves a good find. You can say you knew about it that honey recently written up in F&W Mag before it was cool.  

We particularly like this gift for a new couple, someone  with a new baby at home, or any other life event that might slow a travel-lover's schedule.

Kiwi Co.

These hands on STEM activity boxes are designed to foster curiosity and connection through shared activities. Build a robot with your nephew, discover the life cycles of leaves with your grandaughter. Kiwi Co. are adorably packaged and self-contained. All you need to build an amazing connection is in the box. Very fun and very educational. 

This is our favorite “Cool Aunt or Uncle” gift. 

Universal Yums

What do folks in other countries have for snack? Whats the most popular candy in Norway? Universal Yums gives you a chance to try exciting treats from all over the world. Their subscription packages make a great group gift and let everyone try something new. 

We love sending Universal Yums to our adult siblings and their families. 

Those are our recommendations! Happy gift hunting this holiday!
