I had a great conversation last night with my buddy Darrell last night about giving gifts. We both believe that a fantastic gift doesn’t have to break the bank, especially if it’s a gift for someone you know. It is truly the thought that counts; thinking about what the recepient might like or need based on what you know can be the foundation of a wonderful gift at any price point. Infuse that with style and good taste and it could be FIERCE!
I love giving gifts, but I usually don’t get caught up in the whole Obligatory Gift-Giving Marathon that occurs every year around this time, regardless of whether or not I actually have the money to spend. I just imagine so many more Black dollars leaving Harlem at Christmas, never to return. I don’t want to participate in that … but still, I love to give gifts when I can that let my loved ones know that I appreciate their presence in my life.
So, stay tuned gentle reader. I have a special gift in store for you!
I hope that gift is a podcast, Donald!
