Joining the ranks of motherhood is a blissful and exhausting journey. Our favorite presents help ease the transition and add even more joy. Except for the time she gave a boyfriend her mother’s old toaster for Christmas, employees author Samantha Schoech has a reputation as a superb present giver. She lives in San Francisco with two teens, two cats, a geriatric betta fish, and a bookseller husband. Her first e-book of short tales, My Mother’s Boyfriends, is popping out in 2024. We love finding items which might be uncommon, thoughtful, and well vetted.
