Storyworth for thoughtful dads
•••
I gave this to my dad for Christmas last year and it’s the greatest gift for both of us. I wrote a bunch of questions (or you can use their preselected ones). Every week, the site emails him a question and he writes a story in response. At the end of the year, each of us will receive a bound book of his stories. He (78, retired) loves writing these, and I love reading them — I’ve learned so much about him. Already planning to do volume 2 in 2027! Hit questions (for my dad, ymmv) include: What are some trends (clothing, style, music) you’ve been into at different points in your life? In what ways are you proud to be an American? How has that pride been complicated over your lifetime? What’s your biggest kitchen disaster? What made you fall in love with mom? What’s a book that had a big impact on you in your 20s?

Seconds of bud vases at the Heath outlet in Sausalito
•••
Edith Heath was a visionary. I love all of her $$$ ceramics (as a Bay Area kid, my wedding registry was all Heath), but the pro move is the little bud vases from the outlet in Sausalito. In-person they’re like $30 each. I get them as presents often and they’re a huge success

keep a recipe box
•••
I got a vintage one from Etsy and love having it in my kitchen. when I love a recipe, I write it out on a little card and stick it in here. then I can rifle through and pull out a favorite. my mom now writes out childhood favorite recipes and gives them to me to add too :) this also makes a great gift for a friend (include a few favorite recipes)
