I’m back with another gift guide! So I’ve been classified by family and friends as an almost hipster for a long time - it’s sort of a running joke. Where does this classification come from? I like to craft, re-create store bought foods from scratch (I once even made my own Cheez-itz, they were deliciously addicting). I dress somewhat trendily and more than a bit off beat, I also prefer to buy local and handmade products when I can, or from companies I know well.
On the flip side, I am a serious nerd and gadget collector - I code for a living, consult with small businesses on their marketing and design strategy, and can quickly get super into business strategy. Basically I don’t quite fit the hipster stereotype but I’m not far off. Perhaps another means to name this is - I am a conscious consumer. Or maybe just a Millennial.
So this gift guide is for your almost hipster friend. Enjoy!
