If they mentioned no gifting maybe that means cash gift

Typically when I see no gifts requests, they either don’t treasure possessions or have everything they need. If first, I’d go with the experience idea above or maybe you could donate in their name to a charity they support. If second, I would honor their request and go with no gift - maybe just write a really nice card.

Tacky? Lol no way!! cash is the only wedding gift I wanted and I can confirm my married friends wanted the same. Life’s expensive.. student loans, mortgage, babies etc. Cash to me is the kindest gift you can give!:)

Well sometimes people have travel plans and don’t want to have to accommodate all those boxes. Sometimes they want to buy things per their tastes not everyone else’s tastes. Cash makes it all possible

I like to give wine or scotch with a couple of nice luggage tags around it for decoration. Add some ribbon and it looks nice and thoughtful but not overwhelming.

Oh I didn't think that they wanted cash.. but isn't it a bit tacky to gift cash? I like the champagne and experience ideas ! Thanks !

My SIL and I are close friends, we hang out and do stuff together all the time. I’m not a huge fan of the guy she’s married to. The entire time they’ve been together, including before they got married, she needs to be reachable 24/7 to him. Last year we took a trip overseas and whenever she was out of cell range she had to tell him how long she would be out of range so he wouldn’t get upset when he couldn’t reach her. She answers every single one of his calls no matter what she’s in (cont.)

Dear women in leadership:

Have you ever experienced passive aggressive responses to your role in leadership? If so, how do you handle the micro-aggressions?

For example, I’ve experienced people:
- asking me “do you understand?” though my experience is more senior
- deferring to the male in the room for decisions though I am the senior lead
- not responding to my requests unless I copy other leaders (who are usually male)

What micro-aggressions have you have experienced?

Classes always motivated me, but now I feel like I’d be overwhelmed/anxious about potentially being the “lowest performer” at a Barry’s, F45, SoulCycle etc. Any recs for non-intimidating programs to join (or other tips as well)?
