					<description><![CDATA[We are living in a time of mass consumption. Maybe even over consumption. We all know I’m not immune to it. I’ve spent years creating gift guides full of things I love, have, and/or want. So much of our gifting often revolves around tech and solo activities, and so I wanted to shine focus on some gifts that help gather people and share experience rather than divide us. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of the items that I had sitting in my house was an antique desk. It was my mother's desk in name, if not possession. We were storing it for her because there wasn't space in her house. But after several years of it getting moved around my house to the least inconvenient spot, it just became...too inconvenient. So I called her up and asked, if she still wanted it. "Yes. Of course. It was my father's desk. It's over 100 years old."]]></description>
