Tighter times call for cleverer choices, and while price tags continue their upward march, there’s no reason to compromise on thoughtfulness. Here’s a basket brimming with gifts that strike the balance between beauty, utility, and value.




Why not buy someone the ultimate gift by giving them a year of Tat Musings. That is a very thoughtful gift indeed.
