SAVE MONEY AND TIME ON THE GROCERIES
Melissa, l love the lists of craft tutorials …..even though l look at things and go what a great idea – l would love to make it – but alas l am a lazy biatch most times and l just know l won’t actually ever do it. But l just have to say with regards to Christmas – l don’t “do” gifts (my family know what l am like….they are not offended……lol) ….but now l have nieces l do get something small for them. Last year was funny because l only had 1 niece then – l bought her something and texted my brother saying……….that’s my Xmas shopping done. I could feel his eyes rolling at me!
PS: l should also point out, l do NOT expect any gifts myself and always say to family not to worry about getting me anything…….
Hubby and I sometimes wonder if we should bother getting each other presents. It seems a bit weird seeing that we share an income and we ask for what we want.
But we decided it would be nice to keep the tradition of Christmas alive – even if it is just a small, inexpensive token gift.
You’re lucky that you have an understanding family! Buying *whatever* gifts just because we *have* to is one of my bugbears (but we still play along anyway). When I worked in retail I would often here: “Oh, that will do, I’m sick of shopping” or “We’ll just get them some kind of hamper”. If it’s the thought that counts, I don’t think there’s a lot of thought that goes into many gifts.
Wow working in retail you would have seen it all………….and then some………lol
I must say a job in retail at Christmas time would be close to a nightmare to me. I’m more of a minimalist anyway………..if l get given stuff l won’t use……it’s just more stuff that is sitting around not being used – something that will need to be decluttered down the track.
I agree. I really don’t like getting stuff that I think ug, where am I going to put that (not that I’m being ungrateful
). I worked in the Christmas department for many years – last year was the first year I could listen to Christmas carols without losing it. Just as well for the little fella.
Thanks so much for sharing my tiles! Perfect for a beach Christmas!
