My wife picked up a new hobby during quarantine. She joined a group that makes and delivers baskets to random strangers about town as a pick-me- up.
This has given me a new appreciation of the Dollar Tree, as everything is $1. There are other people in the group that spend upwards of $30 on the baskets BEFORE adding anything to them.
