Beyond Gift Cards

As my friends and family get older, it gets more and more difficult to find them gifts that don't suck. Anything they want - they typically buy themselves (or can't afford which means I can't afford it either).

Gift cards are easy and people can buy exactly what they want. The downside, gift cards can just be plain tacky, thoughtless and impersonal. 

What a pickle. What to buy.

I decided to make a gift card book instead just throwing a single card in a birthday card - a day in the life of M & D. I shamelessly borrowed graphics found on the internet for this book (credited below).
