Frequently asked questions
How often should just-because gifts happen?
There's no schedule — spontaneity is the point. Small gestures monthly beat annual grand gestures that feel obligatory.
Do just-because gifts need wrapping?
Presentation adds delight but isn't mandatory. Even a bag with tissue and a note elevates a casual pickup into a moment.
How is this different from a full gift guide?
