For the next installment of our subscriber-exclusive newsletter series New York Night School, our team of professional shoppers at the Strategist is teaching a five-week course on gifting — which we’d argue is both an art and a science. The several dozen members of the Strategist team have an especially fine-tuned sense of what makes a delightful present, and we use that expertise to put together more than a hundred gift guides each year for every occasion and every kind of person. If you’ve ever gotten stuck figuring out what to get your tween niece or your mother-in-law or someone you just started dating, our writers and editors will share what they know to help make it easier to pick the right things for anyone in your life. What you’ll be getting in your inbox over the next five weeks are not more gift guides, but our personal gifting theories, our go-to gifts (and the gifts we specifically advise against), a roundtable on what kids (and their parents) actually want, and dozens and dozens of tips on how to navigate weddings, birthdays, and, of course, the holiday season.
