I have a few special people - neighbors, friends and a few family members for whom I buy gifts every year. As a rule I don't really buy anything for myself since I am against the herd mentality. Besides Christmas is not really my holiday.
Instead of wasting time walking the department stores, I've decided to buy a couple cases of really good wine and distribute. Of course, kids are excluded from this crowd. It is easy to shop for them. A few gift cards to clothing stores would be perfect. Now, the question is where do I find those wine shops like the 'Total Wines' store in Delaware? Any recommendations for which kind of wine?
Meaningful gifts are sometimes returned to the giver. Doing things in haste can be foolish.

I know. I have shopped around and given some extremely meaningful gifts to people I love. I have also painfully experienced their rebuff.
ReplyDeleteI saw a quote that said,

I give myself ample time for such tears. That is the gift to self this holiday. That and a chocolate cream pie....... : )
