My vegan sister in law is turning 40 in August, any ideas on cool vegan gifts or experiences? It's a huge part of her identity. She's also an endocrinologist and incredibly active/fit

Alright I am wannabe vegan -
Matt & Nat has an amazing vegan leather shop. And I’ve been using the backpack for 1 year now. Minimum wear & tear.
Mushroom broth on Osso is yum! Also only shipping over 200 so decent gift.
If she’s a health nut, I am, she might like Viome. It gives you a full analysis of your gut. This can be weird but if someone gave it to me - I’d be happy.

Can confirm that Sloth Rescue is legit. Besides rescuing sloths (which is becoming more of a need down there) they also help educate and train some of the nature walk guides who lead tourists through the parks to see wild sloths.

I’m vegan. I confirm Matt & Nat products are great (love their backpack). I know that social distancing may make it impossible right now: but I always appreciate when people are willing go to vegan restaurants WITH me :) I’ve also liked as gifts: people going vegan for a day and donations to animal protection related charities. Keep in mind, what they may enjoy depends on why they are vegan. I.e . If they are vegan primarily for health reasons, contributing to animal charities may seem less relevant for them, and same goes for buying them some type of vegan junk food or cake. Likewise if it’s for environmental reasons they may appreciate something environmentally friendly / zero carbon footprint, in which case I would shy away from getting any type of disposable product. Helpful to know a bit more about them. Also- vegan is one part of their life, NOT their entire identity. You may also want to just think more holistically about them as a person and what they may like, e.g, books, art, etc.

My manager scheduled a feedback conversation and I know it's bc I've made some noticeable mistakes lately due to moving too fast, not being able to focus, racing thoughts, etc. I'm seeing a therapist about whether I have ADHD and if so, what tx looks like; we started the intake process which will be continued in my 2nd appointment, which is after the feedback convo meeting. Is it worth telling my mgr something eg I recognize the careless mistakes and I'm in the process of seeing tx to help?

Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere

I went from agency to in house PR 1.5 years ago (I’m at a prof services firm in nyc). There are no boundaries for communication; everyone is expected to answer emails immediately at all hours and senior people respond in minutes between about 7am-11pm, at minimum. Is this normal in the corporate, non agency world? Not sure if this is just due to the pandemic and WFH, but I was under the impression that in house life would be more chill.
