Today was a major shopping day. I left the house early, list in hand and hit the mall. I pretty much finished up my Christmas shopping , woo hoo.
Then I came home and started wrapping the gifts. It sort of went like this: A present for Sara. A present for Ryan. Two presents for Sara. One for Ahren. One for Dad. Two gifts for Sara. One for Mother in Law. One for Sara. One for Dennis. One for Sara. Etc. Etc.
And at the end of all my wrapping we had ten gifts for Sara, two for Ahren, two for Ryan, three for Mother in Law, one for Dad, and two for Dennis. None for Father In Law. Oh dear. There is some inequity here.
What to do? Return some of Sara's presents? (I can hear her squealing "NOOOOOOOO").
I guess I need to do a bit more shopping after all. Why is it that some people are so easy and fun to buy for and others such a challenge?

I think it’s because it’s a daughter, and don’t we love shopping for our daughters!!!

Isn’t that always the way? Each year I have many great gift ideas for two people and not a clue what to get the others.
Pretty packages!!
Hugs!

Too funny! More presents for everyone I guess. I have so much shopping still left to do. Mostly gift cards that I can buy online! Have fun!

If I had a son, that’s the way it would be at my house, “here Ashley, open your 12th present, Son, I’m sure we’ll get to your present under the tree sooner or later”
Did you take a class on bow tying, seriously, those bows are amazing!

You know, if you go shopping some more, you will end up with more gifts for Sara! Which I highly encourage as she is an awfully nice person and deserves many gifts. I know…gift cards for others…temptation is less and they will love them! I’m trying to help here…without returning any of Sara’s gifts…lol! Oh, and did you buy something for Remy? Hello, Grand-dog!

That is just so true. I have one sis in law that is very easy to shop for, but another one that is THE hardest! Your packages look so festive.

I KNOW!! It’s horrible ut so true! I still have a few more people on my list with no presents and every where I go I see something that would be “just perfect” for my daughter. Like the other gazillion things I sent her are not perfect enough!!
Well last night I closed the box, slapped on the mailing label and put it in the car for drop off at the post office. Now I have the excuse that I already mailed the package and won’t buy anything else… I think.

I just made my last purchase last night. I have 8 books to wrap for my grandkids Christmas and birthdays, and I’m done.
Oh, except for one last minute major gift project my husband and I decided to do. But we’ll make it at home, no shopping necessary. Just a lot of hours of work.

In my next life, I want to be your daughter. I like your cheery wrapping paper. Looks like you need to hit the stores another time or two. Take Sara with you. You can’t buy her anything when she’s right there, right?

I have the same problem. Daughters and Daughters in law are so much more fun to buy for. And don’t get me started on my grandsons-I’m out of control with them.

Easy to buy for because you know her well AND you probably like a lot of the same things! So, if you see something YOU like, you know Sara will like it, too. ;0
