One of my favorite things to do is to gift books as gifts to people. I'll write out a note on why I loved the book, and why I think they'll like it too. It's like, a easy and affordable way to give a gift, but is still pretty thoughtful.
One of my best friends is suuuuper into makeup and is always doing makeup non-professionally for friends. Even for big events like weddings. But in order to get in with MAC's professional discount, you need to have a certain amount of proof as being a professional within the makeup industry. So I bought her a domain name, built her a website, put together business cards and letterheads. All so she could apply for the professional discount. I realize this has an element of fraud associated with it, but I don't care.
My most thoughtful gift given to me was my engagement ring. But that story is already floating around here somewhere.
