Let me guess. You’re probably thinking to yourself:
- But I don’t have enough money.
- I don’t have enough time.
- I’m not creative enough.
What if I told you that sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are the simple ones? Not necessarily gifts that cost the most or take a lot of time…
but gifts that come from the heart.
And by golly, you’ve got heart!
Now you just need a guide to help translate that heart of yours into affordable, do-able, meaningful gifts.
Enter…Thinking Outside the Gift Box!
Your springboard for creative gift-giving straight from the heart.
In this 178-Page Book You Will Discover…
21 Story-Filled Chapters
The gift ideas in this book stem from stories in my own life of some of the greatest gifts I have received as well as favorite gifts I have given. Gifts of experience, gifts of personalization, gifts of the written word. But they all hold one thing in common. They are gifts that send a message loud and clear that says, “You are known and you are loved.”
75 Actionable Gift Ideas
This is not just a book to read, but to do. So, every gift idea is broken down by estimated cost (as low as $0) and time (as short as 5 mins.), kid-friendly factor, and a supply list. That’s a total of 75 actionable ways to shower love upon all the people in your life: from your little niece to your co-worker to “the man who has everything.” Gifts for all kinds!
FREE BONUS:
Toolkit of 11 Printables
Every copy of the book comes with a FREE BONUS of 11 beautifully designed printables that accompany the gift ideas: gift tags, mini-books, survival kits, bookmarks, surprise notes, and more. There’s no need for you to reinvent the wheel! I’ve done everything I can to make your gift-giving process both fun and easy.
Convinced?
Here’s a sneak peek at that resource-rich Printables Toolkit!

Meet the Author
Hiya, friends! I’m Lauren, and I am a blogger, author, and lover of all things heart-made.
Since the inception of my blog The Thinking Closet in September 2012, I have shared over 80 gift-related tutorials and garnered over 18 million pageviews. I’m on a mission to help you break down the walls that stand between you and your creativity. So, you’ll find that my writing places an emphasis on the process: on embracing imperfections, making messes, and laughing along the way. As Dan Eldon said, “The journey is the destination.”
In my free time, I enjoy bike rides with my handsome hubby Mark and glow stick dance parties with our daughters, Juniper and Pepper. I am a proud flip-flop wearing Floridian, residing in Orlando, with roots in New York where I grew up feasting on Sal’s Pizzeria and falling in love with musical theatre. When I’m not painting in the margins of my Journaling Bible, I can be found directing theatre…or sometimes wandering onto the stage myself.
To read more about me than you ever wanted to know, you can visit my blog’s “About” page.
