    Twitter: What are your favorite strategies for creating meaningful moments of celebration for yourself or loved ones? 🎉 (I'm terrible at this! I suspect I'm missing opportunities to amplify big moments in my/friends' lives)

        Korean BBQ! Commissioning illustrators/artists to illustrate the special moment. Korean spa. Also these banner things but you can make the letters say anything (e.g. "you're old" or "thank god it's over") pic.twitter.com/eJtS2H3Uuj

        Yes! Personalization, context, and detail are elements I look for. Many, actually. (1) short-story/poem/essay/riff etc dedicated to them on a topic of their interest, with details that might be little winks at past convos, or idiosyncrasies — privately published only to them;

        (2) unique craft: bake; cook; paint; sing; music — learn to play their fav notes — even if awkward; (3) wish fulfillment: plan and execute an ordinary but novel experience they’ve never done before but have been meaning to “someday” (eg. ride a scooter; meet a magician etc)

        I'm not especially good at this, but I have a couple friends who are exceptional at it. Here are some things they've done:

        - decorating their apartment in silly ways (e.g. like a French restaurant to welcome me home from Europe; using a fan + confetti as fake snow to welcome someone to Canada for the first time)

        I have a tiny thing I do which is that I keep a little container of (uniquely delicious) chocolate-covered coconut-covered almonds that I call "Victory Beans" and whenever I or my peeps do something worth celebrating, we each eat one. It's a little ritual to reify the moment.pic.twitter.com/0VTHv3W03o

        I also log them, so it becomes a record of a bunch of moments when we felt really jubilant. I'm thinking I might want a name other than "victory" though because I've recently been reflecting that framing things in terms of "winning" reinforces subtle zero-sum assumptions.

        Depends on the person, but I like writing cards / cherish the ones I've received from others!
