So, you like to spoil your gal…

If you are the gift giving type, this page is for you. I know you may want to bring a small gift to the first date, but don’t know where to start since we don’t even know each other yet. Or maybe you’re my regular suitor and I haven’t yet posted my birthday or holiday wishlist on Twitter/X. Ha ha! Or you think of me randomly and want to reach out. Or you just can’t stop thinking about me and you want to move to the next level, AKA a monthly arrangement, and want to make your affections abundantly clear. 

Some of the following ideas could be transformed into a shopping trip we take together! You haven’t seen true joy until you’ve seen my face when you set me loose with your card at the plant nursery or Home Depot!

As you’ll see below, I greatly prefer practical gifts that improve my life and advance my homesteading goals. But I have included some that are more traditional, courtship gifts.
