Hand-Delivered Gifts That Are Great

Let’s talk about random acts of kindness. Let’s talk about the personal touch of having something hand-delivered. Let’s talk about five over-the-top things you can send someone out of nowhere. Well, you’re going to listen while we talk. But, you know.

SHOE FLY

Tower Place Shoe Shine

The Delivery: A real, live human armed with some elbow grease and ready to shine the hell out of some shoes. So a shoe shiner.
The Deliveree: A client you’re trying to impress, perhaps. It’s this or karaoke.

SUIT POINT

Suitsupply

The Delivery: An Italian suit, hand-delivered by a tailor who’ll stick around and make any necessary adjustments before leaving.
The Deliveree: A lifelong role model who you want to thank for always being there. Like your dad. Or Peter Cetera.

THE ROOTS

Roots Pressed Juices

The Delivery: The Hangover Recovery Kit from a new juice shop in Buckhead. It’s got things like detox water, aloe vera and chlorophyll H20.
The Deliveree: Anyone you had a few too many with the night before. So you can have a few too many with them again.

PUPPY LOVE

Atlanta Doodles

The Delivery: A labradoodle. A real, live, breathing Australian labradoodle puppy.
The Deliveree: Someone who loves puppies. Like, really loves puppies. So much so that they’d be delighted to see someone holding one on their doorstep. Puppies are the new General Tso’s chicken.

QUICK TOCK

A Quick Delivery

The Delivery: Completely up to you. These people will deliver anything, anytime. So if you need, say, jewelry delivered at midnight, try these guys.
The Deliveree: Preferably anyone who’s ever said, “I wish someone would have jewelry delivered to me at midnight.”
