A good housewarming gift for your VP? he has ✨expensive✨ taste & don’t think I can afford anything he’d keep. Was thinking Bob Iger’s book with a nice note. Thoughts? He sent everyone a care package and I would like to do something nice for him back.

VP already has the book. Try and swing a 50ish bottle of wine

OP - Stag’s Leap Artemis. About $60. It’s excellent. Get a bottle for yourself too.

What’s your budget? Basically you gotta think, what’s the nicest version of X I can afford in my budget—be it a candle, coffee table book, plant, cooking spices, olive oil.

If he/ she has expensive taste, they’ll appreciate the nicest version of whatever you get them. For example, you probs can’t afford the “nicest” scotch or whiskey, but you could splurge on an expensive set of cooking oils (olive oil, truffle oil). That’s at least my rule of thumb when buying for people with expensive tastes and it hasn’t failed.

Does he enjoy reading? The note is a great touch regardless of what gift you ultimately give.

Hmm. What to get the person who has everything and can afford everything?
Something rare and obscure. Don't focus on typical gifts and just adding money to get a fancier version. Focus on rarity.
If you can, try to get something their spouse or kids will love.

Like this photo below. 🤣 but in all honesty, I'd probably get them an Aerogarden or something.

I’d pass on Iger’s book but the note is a great touch. I second the suggestion for alcohol.

How about something simple, but something they might not think to get on their own?

i.e. a self-inking, return address stamp, a monogrammed door sign, name sign or a framed picture of their new home? Or a customized welcome to your new home candle?

A 2 inch stack of 100 dollar bills?

Any CPAs here that studied and took the GMAT after licensure? Currently looking into prep paths for it, am interested to hear perspective from someone who took both on how you prepped for it compared to CPA. After the hell of passing all 4 CPA exams what I've read so far about the GMAT honestly makes it sound fairly straightforward in comparison, but I don't want to let my CPA ptsd influence me into underestimating it if it's way more demanding than it looks on the surface.

Hey, friends! I’ve been asked to give some workshops on the business of art. How much should I charge for something like this? For context, I’m an NYC actor with 6+ years of experience spanning nationally recognized regional theatre credits, audiobooks narrations with large publishing houses and one primetime network tv role. Interested clients are mostly student orgs at colleges/universities with theatre programs as well as arts nonprofits for high schoolers, so not massive budgets. Thanks!
