consumable gift ideas

I remember, as a kid, loving to receive and open presents. I also remember dreading putting all of my spoils away. 

My room was always packed with stuff. I had to rearrange after every holiday to make room for my things.

I remember the most favored gifts were consumable gifts. I’ve always been a pretty diehard fan of consumables. 

After all, the chocolate never lasted long. 

Consumable gift ideas are great because sometimes you just want to give someone a real, concrete gift. There are some people in the world you want to give a gift to, but you don’t want to spend an hour or two with them. 

I totally get that!
