To continue with the dim sum theme:
Sometimes the key to finding the perfect gift is simply to come across it by accident. You can rack your brain for gift ideas for weeks, but you'll never come up with as good a gift as you'll find by stumbling on something that reminds you of one of your friends. A couple weeks ago we saw these Flash Postcards by Chronical Books in Scaredy Kat and immediately thought of our friend Lane who loves to go out to dim sum (for a long time we had a standing Sunday morning date in Chinatown with her). Obviously, we just had to get them for her. So now the next time we want to thank her for something she's done or apoligize for a broken date, we have the perfect little gift. Or, if we come across more items in this same theme (anyone know where we can get dim sum refrigerator magnets?) we can bundle them up into a little stocking for her for Christmas.
(Sorry to spoil the surprise, Lane.)
