A collection celebrating the years

always having awesome gift ideas well in advance.

In addition to the newsletter, check out our
gift-giving playbooks and gift guides 🎁📕.

Hi gift-givers! Better Gift Coach is your disc gift jockey who just keeps the hits coming. Get ready for gift ideas that you’ll have on repeat for years to come.

5 minutes is all it took for a friend who asked me for gift ideas for her husband to excitedly walk away with a few gift ideas she couldn’t wait to give him.

Let me do the same for you.

Having personally curated and analyzed nearly 100 stories of the best gifts ever given, I love tapping into what I’ve learned to help you quickly brainstorm winning gift ideas.

During office hours, as a group, we can discuss:

• Gift ideas for your upcoming gift opportunities 

• How to navigate challenging gift-recipients

• How to make a “good” gift GREAT

I can’t do Feb. 2nd, but want to attend a future office hours session

Estimated read time: 2 minutes & 23 seconds

The “passage of time collection" Gift:

• Nostalgia makes great gifts

• Celebrates your unique journey together

• Great gift tradition potential (remove guesswork from future gifts)

Passage of time gifts aren’t just for significant others – consider for family and close friends too

Other potential items to consider for passage of time collection gifts:

• Coins (see penny ideas)

• Color of the year (see Pantone color of the year)

• Photos (collage containing one photo from each year)

• Word of the year (see the word of the year designations)

• Songs (create a digital playlist - one song from every year of the relationship)

If you can’t track down items from previous years, then start this gift this year and thank yourself several years from now when you’ve collected enough to give it.

Previously shared BGC gifts that can also celebrate a relationship’s passage of time:

• The “street signs" Gift

• The “crowdsourced memories" Gift

• The “big bites photo cookbook" Gift

• The “relationship journey journal" Gift

• The “Picasso a Home" Gift (collage of past shared homes)
