It’s not the number of packages- you only need one!
Most young people these days have spared us great angst by just wanting gift cards or cash, no lie when I say, it can be a relief. But honestly, what’s better than shopping for that special something for that special someone and giving the gift that you know they will love? Nothing! It’s the beauty of the giver. Knowing the person well enough to anticipate excitement with them before they open the gift, is very magical. When you KNOW that the gift you have chosen for someone will bring joy, then you have done your job well!
There is always that really special something for each person. Do any of us ever forget those really special gifts? I thought not. In the 70s, it was a pair of knee-high tie it up blue suede boots with wooden soles and a watch. In the 80s, it was a purse I really, really wanted. In the 90s, pearls and a stuffed armadillo – yes really, a stuffed armadillo! In the 2000s, it was a oversized denim coat with red removable lining and this decade, it’s got to be the Ughs (always) and the silliest set of box stick matches. One box for every month of the year. They are the bathroom matches and I enjoy switching them out every month.
So, some of these special gifts I still have, some I wish I still had. But either way, remember that those people who go out of their way to get the special gift in an otherwise hectic time of year, know how special you are and know why they are gifting it. Because they are not gifting an item, they are gifting love!
