My sister called my usual birthday gift a 'cop-out' gift and it stuck with me.

We were talking about her husband's present, and she said, 'You always get people a nice bottle of something. It's easy, but it says you didn't really think about them.' I realized I'd given my dad scotch, my friend gin, and my boss wine this year alone. It hit different because she was right, I was just picking the safe option. What's a good gift you've given that felt truly personal, not just a nice thing from a store shelf?

Seems like a weird gift to me.

Honestly I used to think maps were boring gifts. This is actually a really cool idea.
