I saw this and maybe it’s just the way she writes, but my first thought was Lily, you better design YOUR home for YOUR needs and tastes. Because your career as an influencer has a shorter shelf-life than this bathroom!
On gift giving:
My entire family subscribes to the 5 gift rule, always has (however, we aren’t minimalists nor do we police what others give our kids - nor did my own parents, so “subscribe” is loose.)
The 5 gift rule is something to read, something to wear, something they need, something they want, and something that shows you care (something that could be a keepsake or heirloom, or a total splash-out.)
It’s easy to remember and actually a great way to structure all thoughtful gift giving:
-Read
-Wear
-Need
-Want
-Care
Yes! Someone recently told me about this approach to gift giving too, although it was four gifts and told to me like this:
Something you want,
Something you need,
Something to wear,
Something to read.
