(No one needs a blow-up Santa in August!) I’m a firm believer that summer is for sprinklers, perfectly ripe tomatoes, and if you’re a parent, tracking the days until the start of school. But I’m also here to tell you that one of the best ways to enjoy this holiday season is to [start casually thinking about gifting now](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmu1JYP0TEaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vd2lyZWN1dHRlci9naWZ0cy8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MjkwJmVtYz1lZGl0X3djZF8yMDIzMDgxMyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05OTg2NCZubD10aGUtcmVjb21tZW5kYXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD0xNjY0MzM4OTQmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDE4NjMmdXNlcl9pZD02YzUzYjYzYThlM2ZhZDcwYWQ0ZWYxMzAwNDUyNzQzN1cDbnl0Qgpk01jN2GTpPh_GUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~). Holiday gifting is a marathon, not a sprint, and both the quality and the value of your gifts will increase if you start earlier. You’ll find gifts more easily, they’ll be more carefully considered, and you’ll have more time to poke around for great prices on them. Starting early can be as simple as keeping a running list of ideas throughout the year in your phone’s notes app. Or you can add a gifts section to your browser’s bookmarks. Inspiration can strike year-round. Excellent items are in gift shops, restaurants, and other people’s homes, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for the unique, useful, and practical items you encounter daily. Of course, here on Wirecutter’s gifts team, we’re already in full swing. Here are a few things on my holiday gift list: - This borosilicate glass [avocado-sprouting vase](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmu1JYP4RBAWh0dHBzOi8vY2xpY2subGlua3N5bmVyZ3kuY29tL2RlZXBsaW5rP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTI5MCZlbWM9ZWRpdF93Y2RfMjAyMzA4MTMmaWQ9N204RW5la1BGNUUmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTk4NjQmbWlkPTI1MDAzJm11cmw9aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cubmVpbWFubWFyY3VzLmNvbSUyRnAlMkZpbGV4LXN0dWRpby1hdm9jYWRvLXZhc2UtcHJvZDI0MjMyMDAwNSZubD10aGUtcmVjb21tZW5kYXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD0xNjY0MzM4OTQmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDE4NjMmdTE9d2NkYWlseXp6NDE3MTgmdXNlcl9pZD02YzUzYjYzYThlM2ZhZDcwYWQ0ZWYxMzAwNDUyNzQzN1cDbnl0Qgpk01jN2GTpPh_GUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) from [our gift guide for plant lovers](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmu1JYP0TVaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vd2lyZWN1dHRlci9naWZ0cy9iZXN0LXBsYW50LWdpZnRzLz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0yOTAmZW1jPWVkaXRfd2NkXzIwMjMwODEzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTk5ODY0Jm5sPXRoZS1yZWNvbW1lbmRhdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTE2NjQzMzg5NCZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0MTg2MyZ1c2VyX2lkPTZjNTNiNjNhOGUzZmFkNzBhZDRlZjEzMDA0NTI3NDM3VwNueXRCCmTTWM3YZOk-H8ZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg2QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~).
