When I have a friend coming into town for a birthday, work, or some family trip, a thing I love to do is to leave a little gift with the hotel concierge to leave in their room prior to their arrival. Flowers, a bottle of bubbles, a joint, a small tchotchkeâŠanything, really. Just something small that says welcome home. Itâs not very much effort for a really big payoff because itâs thoughtful, and whatâs better than being thoughtful?

think back to previous visits youâve made to other peopleâs homes or really lovely hotels. what stood out to you that made you go âoh!â?
also, if youâre down for it, challenge your guests by putting something like âsomething that makes you think of me/them/us!â
the more personal gifts are the ones that last

Dope to be giving. You can know the person, or maybe not, too. Flowers are classics for the homemaker types. But the best is something really small and thoughtful. Nothing fancy or spendy. Just that shows em that you know em and and came across something that they'd like or that reminded you of them. This is sweet I think to do this :) also cool to like give some of your fav clothes to your brothas /sistas/ siblangsÂ

Bad Dog is a love letter to Los Angeles. While LA is pretty segregated based on race and socio-economics, each neighborhood is within driving distance of each other, so eventually the subcultures of each marry one another in some beautiful mess. ZoĂ«, the brains behind Bad Dog, is a pretty good anthropomorphic model of this subculture stew, I think, and she isnât afraid of sentiment or being a fan, which is what makes Bad Dog so special. BAD DOG FOREVER!!!

I donât know if Sweet Charity is actually a good movie, but I know that Shirley Maclaine whips ass, and I know that I like it, so Iâm recommending it. Itâs the first movie Bob Fosse directed, and I think you see him leaving behind âshow businessâ Bob Fosse, and coming into sticky, pill-fiend, All That Jazz Bob Fosse. The first time I watched it, I thought it so electric I actually muttered âwhat a picture!â aloud to myselfâŠWhat a picture!

Iâve got all sorts of stuff in my eBay saved searches and if Iâm patient, I can usually get exactly what I want at a pretty good price. A fun story I have related to saved searches is that awhile ago, a friendâs apartment was burgled, and very specific pieces of heirloom jewelry were taken. I saved some keywords and forgot all about it. A few months later, I got an alert and saw a piece that looked vaguely familiar, so I checked the sellerâs items and realized they had EVERYTHING! I emailed my friend, and she ended up retrieving all of her jewelry. It was so nice to be part of a happy ending where I was crucial, but didnât really do anything.
