My girlfriend and I both agree that it’s always a good idea to keep a stash of generic thank you gifts at home. Something always comes up at the last minute when you have kids. Many times it involves a gift. It seems like every month is an opportunity to give a gift of appreciation to a child’s teacher. Extra thoughtful friends should also be reciprocated with a surprise gift once in a while. Sometimes a little sunshine gift for a friend or family member who is under the weather will hit the spot. This is why we have a couple of favorite websites and order our gifts ahead.
