THE RELATIONSHIP ISSUE: One of you could use a little waking up.

THE RESOLUTION: Softly chiming bells made in Japan.

THE EXPERT: Cornelia Veit, owner of Liave

THE GIFT: Little cast iron animals ready to make the sweetest little noise — either to rustle someone from their sleep, alert them to a set table ready for dinner, or tell them you’re ready for your breakfast in bed or a coffee refill. Of course, platonic loves will love putting one of these little guys on the garden path or near the front door.
