Greetings Gift-Givers!
This is Better Gift Coach, where we ask you to imagine two different scenarios for how you spend your Saturdays in December.
Scenario #1 - you read BGC every week so you:
Are done with your holiday shopping
Sleep in an extra 20 minutes without a care
Flawlessly sing your favorite song in the shower
Find a forgotten sleeve of thin mint cookies in your freezer
Scenario #2 - you DON’T read BGC every week so you:
Estimated read time: 1 minute & 44 seconds
Gift idea time! Here’s a story of a
great gift to spark your creativity
The “big bites photo cookbook" Gift
Over the course of a couple years, I took funny action-shot pictures of my wife eating memorable meals at restaurants. Imagine photos of her in the middle of big bites with sauce on her face. I eventually found recipes for the dishes online and assembled a cookbook that had her funny pictures next to each recipe. Every time we open this cookbook and make a dish, we relive the memories of that meal together. This cookbook is one of her favorite things in the world.
Why this gift is great
Constant & enduring source of warm memories
Level of effort shows how much you care
Unique, fun, and useful
Budget-friendly
Brainstorming your version of this gift
Great group gift potential - the more collaborators, the more photos
Your phone + social media might be a goldmine for past photos
Non-embarrassing photos, although not as fun, also work
Also works for non-restaurant meals too

For another recipe-related gift idea that doesn’t require this much effort: I stole from your mom, not sorry
