I remember the good ole days, when I used to hand-make gifts for my Maw-Maw each Christmas. There was the year I made her a wreath out of those plastic things that hold together a 6-pack of Cokes, the year I made her a decorative peppermint parfait, or the year I painted her a picture from a Christmas card we had gotten the year before.
But gone are the days when I had the creativity (or maybe it was the time!?) to hand-make gifts for my Maw-Maw. This year she repurposed a "pig pencil holder" I had made for her as a toothbrush holder, wrapped it up for me, and gave it to me at a "Shower" shower.
Gift cards are fun to get, and you can surely meet the price minimum set for you (erg, don't get me started!), but where is the creativity?!
Let's slow down and start putting more thought back into our gifts. Because, after all, it's the thought that counts, right?
