Love this! I'm doing a gift exchange this year with a $50 limit and am bringing your cookbook. Any $5-$15 suggestions to go with it that would help the cook with your recipes?

What do you think of fruit cake? Do you have a good source?

A delightful gift guide!! This is so wonderful. I also swear by the away carry-on. If at any point you feel like treating yourself, the away packing cubes are amazing. I was very anti-packing cube until I saw how much my husband could stuff into his. Then when you get to your destination and open your luggage, it's just a bunch of cubes all organized. Even if your brain is crazy, at least your luggage isn't.

I have a feeling I’m about to go down a Zingerman’s rabbit hole. 😂 What a treasure trove! Thanks for all the great ideas here!

It's like you read my mind. The avocado bed is on my way to my mom's cat and the backpack is EXACTLY what I have been needing. Thanks!

Love this list (might just buy that backpack for myself) but hold up... your mom just turned 80?! From just your photos and other posts, your mom seems so vibrant and fun! Tell her congratulations on 80 years!

Great list! I just snapped up one of those knives.

Have so much fun in Belize with your mom. Can’t wait to see the follow up post.

I’m on the beach in Puerto Morelos right now and it’s a lot warmer than home.

Thank you for the puzzle table recommendation. I got this for my puzzle-loving husband for Christmas. He has a nice table but it doesn't tilt up and I think this will help his back by not having to HUNCH over. :)
