CURATED GIFT GUIDE

Written By Alex Waidley

A special edition of a weekly update letter featuring the best gifts the internet has to offer curated by me, AW.

A NOTE ON GIFT-GIVING

I love giving gifts. Correction: I love picking out gifts. Picking out the perfect gift simultaneously shows how well you know someone and how much you appreciate them. It's not always easy but it's well worth the effort. I hope you will benefit from my efforts in putting this curated list together. PS: There is also an art to giving gifts to those you don't know well, I've included some ideas for those folks as well.
