Welcome to the TIPS section of Something Splendid. This is kind of my “miscellaneous” section. A little bit of everything! Tips about organization or travel. Gift ideas. Human interest stories. I hope you find something interesting and useful!

Posts offering helpful tips or recommendations:
Gift ideas
I’m having a bit too much fun with the themed gift ideas!! I’ll try to keep them in very different areas so it doesn’t get repetitive. A themed gift is a thoughtful gift, and it’s versatile because you can make it as large or as small as your budget allows.

Human interest
These stories have really captured my interest. In fact, my all-time favorite post is the article in this section about the Human Library. It’s a wonderful organization, and I’ve started volunteering with them since researching the article. I learned so much!
