Wow, what a great article and just in the nick of time for me! Some of these ideas I might have known about but would not have thought “out of the box” of how they’d make a great gift.
And others I had no idea even existed, such as the opendisc.com! That’s awesome! It takes a creative mind to come up with an article like this and a great sense of timing, that’s for sure. Thanks,
