Soaps, wines, moisturisers, preserves, perfumes, fancy cheeses, flowers, home grown veggies etc.

Does your tiny house friend love permaculture, green designs, making preserves, knitting, or reading about political news? Chances are there’s a great magazine publication that you could arrange to have delivered to their door on a weekly or quarterly basis.

Think phone protector, new ear phones, anything that’s neat and compact and makes life easier and your friend needs them anyway so they might as well have new, properly functioning versions of whatever it is.
