Gift of the Day: Something to Play

Get off that phone, and play something IRL with a group of friends. It’s not something that I would buy for myself, mostly because I don’t think about it until I’m itching for something interactive to do. Games are fairly inexpensive, with many clocking in under $20 for a game. You can even bundle a few together for a fun “game night” themed gift.

Classic games

The ones you grew up with, the ones that everyone knows – and probably the ones that are well-worn and sitting at your parent’s house!

Silly/new games

Some of these sound hilarious. Mix up the usual lineup with a couple of these options.

Card games

Cards are an endless source of entertainment, if you know how to play. My suggestion would be to gift a beautiful deck of cards with a book on card games so the recipient can learn a few new ones and brush up on old favorites.

Beautifully crafted game

If the gift recipient is a huge fan of a particular game, what about a gorgeous version of this game?

Gift Guides for 2017

It’s that time of the year – gift guide season. I love looking at gift guides. They can be repetitive, with the same gift showing up all over the place, but every now and again something truly original pops up.

This year, I’ll be doing something a little bit different with my gift guides. Instead of categorizing them into type of people who will like it, I’ll be focusing on a type of gift. Likely, you already know what type of gift you want to give someone. This type of organization will hopefully help to steer you in the right direction!

If there’s any post to bookmark, it’ll be this one. As I add a new gift guide, I’ll add a link here. Let me know if there’s a type of gift you’re looking for. I would love to help you find that perfect something!

PSA: Upper Glass is Your Holiday Win-Win

upper glass curated wine delivery subscription

I’m going to make a bold statement. You need a box of wine from Upper Glass.

During the holidays, there are countless occasions to gift wine or to open a bottle when guests are visiting. With your Upper Glass collection, you’ll get a box (four bottles) to ensure you always have some on hand.

Each collection has been curated by Boston’s sommeliers. Don’t expect wines that you see in the grocery stores. Instead, their picks emphasize underappreciated grape varietals, regions, and artisan producers. In highlighting some lesser-known wines, you’re getting great wine at an exceptional value.

Another interesting commonality is that lot of their winemakers tend to employ some level of natural, organic, and/or biodynamic winemaking practices.

They have a number of holiday collections coming up, and the two that I’m most excited about are PInot Stars and Spectacular Sparklers.

You also don’t have to buy one collection at a time. You can gift someone (or yourself) an Upper Glass membership two-, three- or six-month membership. Winter is long and hard and you don’t need a February snowstorm to come between you and your wine. If you’re interested in a subscription, then mark your calendar for this Monday. They’re having a Cyber Monday deal where you can get a three-month subscription for $200 ($40 savings). Purchase on Monday, November 27, via www.theupperglass.com with the code CYBERWINE. Each collection includes four hand-delivered bottles in a stylish briefcase-style box, accompanied by winemaker profiles and tasting notes from the curator.

Upper Glass is the win-win-win you need for this holiday season. You have two bottles to give as gifts, a bottle to open when you have a friend over, and a bottle to enjoy when you’re Netflixing by the fire. All are expertly-picked, so you look like a total pro. (Is that a win-win-win-win?)
