Hello All,

…and congratulations on coming this far with me, a Nampa chiropractor.

Tip #5 In Nampa

Stress reliever number five is simple but profound. Pay attention or you might miss it.

When gift-giving, strive for thoughtfulness, not originality. Let me say that again, be thoughtful, not original. Don’t chase that perfect gift. Don’t try to be novel; don’t look high and low for something that startles. Go with thoughtful.

Do you find yourself looking for that perfect gift?

Stop it. Be thoughtful instead.

So what is thoughtful?

Things you already know they love.

Every year, every Father’s Day, Birthday, Christmas, Columbus Day, whatever, my family gives me books, mostly history books. Or vinyl albums. Why? Because I like books and records and they know that. Do I ever get tired of them or disappointed by the selection? Never. Wholly appreciated, and usually on the money. Always thoughtful, and I’m sure stress-free.

Do you find yourself looking for that perfect gift?

Be thoughtful, not original.

Let it go.

And everyone loves Chapstick or mugs.
