Dave Eggers is my favorite author, so I was really happy to see that his book “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius” was mentioned on here. That book really left an impact, as did his book “What Is the What”.

I definitely agree with giving books as gifts. I especiallyy like gifting quote books, because quotations always get me thinking and help to expand my worldview in a lot of ways.

Chocolate and heartfelt notes also make for great gifts as well; and I love using records as art – and to also listen to music with.

I love the idea of giving homemade produce as gifts! Now if I could only make something that is actually edible…

I feel like I have bookmarked about five Ashley Arabian websites
to my computer and I can never keep up with them.(okay only one ore two) Its
like you straight up run train all day… I love them & now i really want to
subscribe to your pickling of the month club! thanks for the Great ideas… not
long ago I was pondering going through the season gifting for someone who
partakes in The Hanukkah Holiday traditions (none-heroically I concluded I was not that good
at gift ideas! I have a lot of ideas but most of them like to think fairly pragmatically
or with minor pessimism)

A little more adventurous now though!

MAKE, SOMETHING, BETTER!

So many good ideas! Thanks! (and I’m putting the books on my ‘to read’ list)

For those in France like me: CSA’s are called AMAP (Association pour le Maintien d’une Agriculture Paysanne) and here’s a link to find one or to create one, if you’re motivated (it is very possible: I did it with some friends when we were students because all the existing ones were “full”, which is too often the case): http://www.reseau-amap.org/
