Shopping & Gifting

(excerpt)

I’m the gift giver in the house, not because I’m the generous one,
but because I’m the one who has time to go shopping. Since it’s now
October I’ll be buying most of our Holiday gifts now.

Yes, that’s right. I’m buying my husband’s office gifts and a closet
full of Hostess Gifts now. Why now? I’m unwilling to fight for a
parking spot, wait in long lines or deal with harried cashiers starting
in November. Unlike my children, adults don’t have rapidly changing
tastes so I can buy now.

Some time ago I asked you for the best Hostess Gifts, hundreds of you replied, but these are what caught my eye*:

Shopping Bags & Coin Purses:
From Blue Q made from recycled plastic bottles (like motor oil and
detergent bottles).  As a hostess gift I think it’s fun to fill one
with a bottle of wine, a yummy dessert, and perhaps some flirty flowers
and present it to your hostess.

Thanks Jessica for sharing your clever gift giving ideas.
