Take the sentence "She gave me the book." Without getting more information, we don't know if the book was a gift or if she simply handed it to the speaker. But in "She gifted me the book" the meaning is instantly clear: the book was a gift.

When it comes to scooping ice cream, a standard spoon is theoretically adequate, but it may bend when faced with the challenge of harder pints. Give your loved one the gift of easy scooping with the Zeroll 1020 Original Ice Cream Scoop. We tested it for nine years, and we still think it’s the best tool for the job.
Sure, your loved one can type out their grocery list in the Notes app or scrawl their thoughts in a Google doc, but nothing beats the analog pleasure of writing in a notebook. And although this person may already have a utilitarian notebook or pad (perhaps including one of our picks), we’re guessing they don’t have anything as pretty or personal as this handsome, two-tone Papier Notebook.
We researched and tested dozens of tapered candles and found our 12 favorites for making any occasion feel special.
A cotton cord strung through the tube slowly soaks up water from the vessel to keep the plant moist and happy. Available in a variety of colors and sizes, these tubes seriously simplify watering. Because Plantstraws ship from Sweden, pricey shipping is part of the worthy investment.
This one is also the preferred scoop of many ice cream shops, thanks to heat-conducting fluid (in the handle) that harnesses the body heat of the scooper’s hand. Make this gift even more special by throwing in a five-pint delivery of Jeni’s Ice Cream, one of our favorite Toaster gift baskets.
If you haven’t heard of wearable fans, it’s time to meet the low-key Penkou Portable Neck Fan, which looks like a pair of snazzy headphones but … cooler. With three speed settings and a ring of 72 air slots, the device emits a gentle breeze along your neck and head without blowing directly into your face.
Don’t be fooled: This cute enameled vessel with a chubby wooden handle isn’t solely for melting butter. It also works as a mini stovetop pot, as a bowl for soup or hot cocoa, or as a ladle or scoop.
Just because someone seems to have everything, that doesn’t mean they have all of the best things. If your loved one enjoys popcorn but has been popping up feeble bags of the microwave variety, give them W&P’s The Popper. Among the popping methods we’ve tried, this silicone microwave popcorn bowl is one of our favorites (it’s dishwasher-safe and collapses to about 2 inches for easy storage).
The cashmere edit is filled with luxurious separates to elevate your everyday casual wear. Explore classic crew-neck knits and sumptuously soft accessories in a kaleidoscope of colours and versatile neutral hues.
