Not in a horrible greedy way, but in that I find joy in both giving and receiving presents that are thoughtful and picked with someone special in mind. I tend to be constantly gift shopping, as I'll pick up that perfect book / spatula / teapot when I see it in March, and just wait for the next birthday or Christmas to come along. It makes it less stressful and much more joyful. I also do quite a lot of making at Christmas time and love spending time making things for the people I love. Sorry if this sounds really cheesy, I just think that gifts in themselves are not a bad thing, it's the crazy commercialism that is!domestikatehttp://www.domestikated.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010553152257587281.post-64554411957854048672013-12-11T07:55:14.822+00:002013-12-11T07:55:14.822+00:00That is one seriously impressive car boot haul!!

I almost always get him books, last year he got me perfume as I had run out (useful and beautiful) and a book. Books are the things we like to give and receive!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414010663277948166noreply@blogger.com
