"I gave it to you just because." Few words ring sweeter than an unexpected gift that hits all the right notes. I may or may not occasionally be teasing my husband to buy me flowers just because.
There's something about those "out of the blue" gifts that feel especially thoughtful and can, in many cases, be sweet pick-me-ups on difficult days. So here goes my petition to make just-because gifts a thing this holiday season and beyond. Who's with me? Ahead, I have a list of ideas to get you started, so let's get shopping.
