Remember when finding the perfect gift took real effort—and actually meant something? In this episode of Real Talk with Tina and Ann, we continue our conversation with author Amy Weinland Daughters as she brings us back to a time when ordering online didn’t exist, and a Redskins helmet for a 10-year-old was a treasure worth tracking down.

Amy reflects on the lost magic of effort, intention, and anticipation—how gifts were once rare and meaningful because they were hard to come by. We explore how modern convenience, while a gift in itself, has quietly reshaped the value of time, patience, and sentiment.

We also dive into the role of women then versus now, and how her time-travel memoir captures not only the cultural differences of the late ’70s but also the quiet expectations placed on women within the home. This episode is a blend of nostalgia, emotional insight, and celebration of how far we've come—and what we may not even realize we've left behind.
