Some phases of life are certainly easier than others, but we could all use some extra life pro tips to stow away in our back pockets to make this whole life thing a little less difficult.

Social Been with my wife for almost 23 years, and she has always gotten me great gifts, even early on when we didn't have much money to spend on each other. About 10 years in we got into a conversation about how I find it so difficult to come up with thoughtful gifts compared to how adept she seems to be.

    Font - Did I trip over a power cable multiple times building out her chicken coop? Cordless drill. Was I always complaining about how I can't get my pillow to support my head throughout the night? Contour pillow. Remarking how much I hated constantly cleaning out the gutters underneath a big oak tree? Gutter covers. That's it. Simple stuff that often doesn't break the bank.

    Font - That being said, of course there is room for gifts that don't have to solve a problem and are a little more extravagant or frivolous and just make somebody happy, but l've put this technique into use in the years since and always come up with great gifts for the guys in my life.

    Font - Example: My mother passed away last week due to complications from a thyroidectomy. Had she been otn better physical shape and not as fragile going into the surgery, she would have likely survived.
