Gifts – I ran out of time and then I went to Wal-Mart
It’s been awhile, so HI! Christmas was hectic and then I got really sick over New Year’s. So sick I had to cancel my party and I turned down an outing to get Mexican. I thought the world was ending. Truly.
But I’m back at work and school is getting ready to start and all is right with the world.
I got myself in a bit predicament over Christmas with two last minute gifts. One, was no big deal and was easily solved at Brooks Brothers. The other was a different story. B was going through the list of gifts to take to his family on Christmas Eve and he mentioned Person X. Um, no I didn’t buy her a gift. No, I didn’t know she needed one. Crap.
What to buy Person X who I don’t know and have barely had a conversation with? Quandaries.
Thus, Wal-Mart to the rescue.
I spent approximately $30 putting together this gift basket. It has more products than other gift baskets and I think it is relatively cute considering the situation. I wrapped the basket in cellophane and tied it with a bow. Done.
I questioned if I would be happy receiving said basket as a gift and felt like I would be fine with it.
In the end, I was rather pleased that it came together without stress or to much effort. I think it would be something I might give again to someone I didn’t know their taste.




Cute gift. A basket with something universal like bath products and the like is always something thoughtful to give.
I am glad you are feeling better!
I think this is the *first* year I haven’t ran to Wal-Mart for a last minute Christmas gift.
