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/ siblangs

people often overthink presents but the best ones I’ve had are usually small. Recently my bf got me Fanta flavours I love and it moved me that he remembered. Handmade gifts are always appreciated, although hard if it’s last minute! Nice soap/body stuff, a great candle, a little plant, or even just flowers and a card. A nice bound notebook with a cute pen. gift cards are often looked down on, but if they’re specific enough to someone’s taste they can be great. For example do they like cinema? cause lots of indie cinemas do gift cards! I play switch so Nintendo game cards are ways appreciated, as are any bookshop card (especially indie ones). All of these are good and easy gifts!

I love to give gifts, and I think the best/most consistent formula for a gift someone will really love is something they’ll use, but wouldn’t splurge on for themselves— so if they enjoy coffee, a nice french press or Chemex along with a good bean subscription, or even a Moka pot and milk frother for espresso drinks at home— this formula works for most occasions, and relies on knowing the person/couple. Some good standbys that I get often are:
a good set of bathrobes; bathrobes make getting out of the shower much nicer, but many people wouldn’t get a really good robe for themselves; try Oddbird, Brooklinen, or LL Bean (which you can have monogrammed with a couples new initials)
a good vinyl player (if they collect vinyl), or a good set of speakers if they already have a quality turntable but poor speakers,
a subscription or service— for my girlfriends I usually buy a facial or a massage that they can schedule whenever, for a couple, maybe a theater subscription, a museum membership, or a couple’s massage— these are things people really enjoy but might not do for themselves, especially in the first year of marriage.
I tend to avoid overly customized gifts; if it isn’t something someone wants it may accidentally go unused and is impossible to return or regift.

remembering they were on the hunt for something,
finding/stumbling upon it sometime in your day,
buying it for them if it’s small and affordable enough,
(albeit nothing is too big or expensive if it’s for my dear friends…)
and gifting it to them the next time you meet! <3

It’s not cool or dope to harbor resentment. I’m not a hippie or anything like that. Not that that’s bad, if you are one...who am I to judge?
Anyway, we all make mistakes. We’re all a little bit good, we’re all a little bit bad. I’m part of we all, and so are you. No one's perfect (hehe).

My friends have given me cute things to hang off my bag. Mai Chan gave me a photo she took of Konida in Sapporo. I love Konida and it makes me happy to have him by my side all day. I also got a little Hello Kitty speaker and a little smiley plush doll that I ended up giving to my friend Liu, for protection for her, for her bag. Its nice to have little things like this.

I’d like to recommend Juicy Couture hoodies. I’ve been wearing these lately on tour, when flying, at home, when dressing ‘with style'. I find it peculiar that it hasn’t been appropriated by the fellows yet. They are very comfy. They sit high, too, and you can show off a nice belt if you like. I recommend to everyone, give these a chance. You can buy used on eBay for less than 10 usd. Mad comfy. Stylish. Dress it up or down.. Big Dj Peezy fashion tip…
