This is an awesome list, thank you! Also, fwiw, the Italian Jewish brother-in-law might also be into Portico: Cooking and Feasting in Rome's Jewish Kitchen. Since I wrote the book, I might be a *teeny bit* biased. But it comes Gwyneth Paltrow-approved too, which might just appeal to his expensive tastes, lol! https://www.amazon.com/Portico-Cooking-Feasting-Jewish-Kitchen/dp/039386801X/
Oh my God, I want to know more, more, more about all of these people - I'm talking both the gift recipients and givers! I want photos, and house tours, and closet breakdowns!! They're all fascinating! 😉
love the specificity, also this makes me tempted to spiral out thinking about how my family and friends would describe me in this manner but i will instead soldier on and dream about one day having thousands to spend on one person!

This is amazing. I think you should write a gift giving advice column professionally.

You know, if this whole comedy thing doesn't pan out, you have a second career in being a personal shopper.
Immediately bought a Pela case for MYSELF.
Who would have thought this would be so much fun to read??? (YOU, obviously.)
