This is How We Do: Gift Giving Indiana Adams, Ashlee Gadd, April Hoss

Today we’re talking about something close to all of our hearts: the art of gift giving. We share the good, the bad and the downright ugly gifts we’ve received, and we also share our philosophy on what makes a good gift (hint: it’s not about the money). In this episode, we offer tips for how to come up with a great gift when you’re stumped and we laugh about the curse of being a gift-loving girl married to a man who just doesn’t get it. Plus, you’ll hear all about that one time Indiana’s husband gave her a nose hair trimmer. Join us and laugh along as we unpack the art of giving gifts, Coffee + Crumbs style.

Reminder: 

One of life's greatest gifts is friendship...

We love connecting women online, but even more than that: we love connecting women in real life. This is where the magic happens—across tables and couches and playdates in the backyard. It takes a village to raise our kids, and on May 12th, we want you to intentionally invest in yours. Check out all the details on our first official Coffee + Crumbs brunch! We'd love for you to consider hosting one.
