Adopted Olive Oil.

Well not the oil... but the tree.  This was one of the most clever and perfect gifts I have ever received.  For Christmas this year my sister-in-law thought to get me my own "adopted olive tree."  Through this company, you get your certificate and packet of information about your specific tree in east Italy (each of the thousands of trees has their own name and placard), and when spring rolls around your olives are picked and pressed, their oil delivered right to your doorstep.  And it is damn good. 

I can't wait to copy Maggie's idea and gift this to friends and family in the future.  Oh, and definitely renew my "adoption" for next year.
