Whether It’s For A Graduation, A Birthday, An Engagement Party, Or Dad’s Day, You Don’t Have To Select A Gift Weeks In Advance For It To Be Special.
1 Get inspired by Mother Nature.
A beautifully packaged map of and gift card to a nearby attraction can be a gentle reminder to take a moment or two of well-deserved me time. Consider places like a botanical garden, butterfly garden, or planetarium. Also, a mint plant is a thoughtful, healthy, easy-to-grow gift that keeps on giving and is unisex to boot. There’s something magical about the scent and taste of mint. Hot mint tea soothes the mind, body, and soul; if that cup of tea comes from a plant grown at home on a sunny windowsill, it’s even more meaningful.

2 Consider giving experiences, not things.

RECIPES FOR REAL LIFE
THE BEST
Sometimes it's not enough for our editors to be instantly impressed by a product. Sometimes we want to push it to the limits in one of our three labs, our own homes, or both to see how it holds up under pressure. We cook, we wear, we smear, we clean. We evaluate and tally. Then we give out the REAL SIMPLE Selects seal. When we put that label on something, that means it's among the 5,200-plus products we've formally evaluated according to strict protocols. On this list: some of our current faves. If you see something you like, scan the QR code and get shopping!
