Unique Presents To Please Your Partner
Whether you’ve been together for a few months, or several years, sometimes shopping for your partner can be a task & a half. You might be asking yourself, “What the hell do you get the person who has the best present already?!” (I’m referring to your presence, obviously).
It doesn’t help that almost every gift guide assumes you're attached to a cis men that wants hot sauce, beer & socks. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with those things, perhaps you want something a little more thoughtful for your partner. They might also not be a cis man! Where’s the non-binary gift guide?!
