3 rules for gift giving<\/strong>
This article \u201cHow to become a truly excellent gift giver<\/a>\u201d has some great advice for gift-giving, including 3 questions to consider when gift-giving.\u00a0\u201cCan I introduce someone to something they might not otherwise know about? Can I get them a nicer version of something than they would buy for themselves? Or can I make them feel seen?\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Another helpful trip is to write a mini-bio of the recipient to help you hone in on their enthusiasms and interests. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheap collapsible selfie stick<\/strong>
I bought the \u200b\u200bUstine Portable Selfie Stick Tripod<\/a>\u00a0for $8 to take better selfies of my wife and myself while traveling. It exceeded my expectations. It has a detachable bluetooth button on the handle that makes it easy to take photos and video. It extends from 7 inches to 22 inches. And it has tripod legs so I can set it on the ground and take photos from farther back. I wish I\u2019d gotten it sooner. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun incremental game: Progress Knight<\/strong>
I had fun playing the \u201cincremental games\u201d\u00a0A Dark Room<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Universal Paperclips<\/a>\u00a0a few years ago, and someone recently recommended\u00a0Progress Knight<\/a>. (There are a lot of different versions available for web and mobile; search to find one that works on your computer or device.) You start the game as a beggar with few skills or resources, and by wisely allocating your time and money, you try to level up as much as you can in the 70 years allotted to you. Once you die, you can start again with an added experience boost. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best shoe store<\/strong>
I\u2019ve noticed that shoe stores have fewer and fewer styles or sizes. Their selections are particularly slim for anything not trendy. I\u2019ve gone back to\u00a0Zappos<\/a>, the online shoe store, because they have fantastic choices in all sizes and widths. I order a bunch of variations at once, to get the perfect fit, and they make it super easy to return the unused for free. Despite this apparent inefficiency in shipping to and fro, in the end, Zappos is the most efficient way for me to find the kind of untrendy (and wide) shoes I like. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n
