So, I had a wonderful time with family over thanksgiving. I got back on Saturday and spent that evening browsing around town with Amber and her mom. I absolutely love shopping for GIFTS!!!!! This is the time of year when I get to go to town (usually by myself) (sometimes preferred) and just look. When I find something that just SCREAMS out the name of a loved one then I have to get it. I can't get it out of my mind until I do.
This is where the thinking part comes in though - are GIFT CARDS really better? Many people in my life say yea because then the recipient can purchase what they want or something they like hassle free. But then it really takes away from the joy I get in picking out "that perfect gift". I love finding just the right things.....but some people always tell me, "what if they don't use it" or "what if they really don't like it". I think that I know the people I love well enough to know if it is something they will like or not. Now using it is a completely different story. But if after searching all year - I can't come up with any ideas I am not opposed to purchasing the gift card, but........it does make me pretty sad.
So, if you ever receive a gift from me please know that it is well thought out and bought with so much love. When I receive a gift I love knowing that someone thought about me enough to spend time picking out something that reminded them of me or something they thought I would love. Now, don't get me wrong....I will enjoy gift cards too.
So, as I do some more Christmas shopping this week I just wanted to share with you what was on my heart. I am about half way done with my shopping - Yea!!!!!!!
