Gift Guide: What to get for a person who you worry is a little down or lonely and you want to get them something nice to pick them up

2020 has affected all of us deeply and will be a year we will never forget. Among the myriad disasters and heartbreaks people have suffered there lies another quiet and often unnamed adversity: loneliness. You can be lonely alone. You can be lonely with people. It is awful.

We are here at Orderves together to have fun; so rather explore the depths of isolation, I challenge you to pick up someone around you. An old friend, a new friend, neighbor, a colleague, a boy, a girl, a child. Let’s chip away at loneliness - even if our chip only lasts a moment - and show someone who doesn't expect it that we are thinking about them.

Commissions from this mind map will go directly to Feeding America because this Christmas more than ever we need to take care of each other.
