I just love Christmas. I love all the sparkly things, glittery ornaments, Christmassy smells and twinkly lights that are everywhere. The secret wish that Christmas magic really is out there and the rustle of roasted chestnuts makes everything all right in the world. Yes I know, I live in cloud cuckoo land and Christmas is only like that in the movies and adverts oh and in my head.
What I don’t love though is the whole thinking up unique, individual, wanted presents for people. Then you have to source each of the presents, trudging from shop to shop hearing yet another tinny, cheesy Christmas carol being strangled over the stores speakers. You pass every other mum in the world who is trying to do the same thing and have equally pissed off looks on their faces too. Although trying to find a gift that is unique and not just a commercially mass produced gift that is in every high street, is a bit of a tough job. This year I want to buy two really unique gifts for two people. I cant give too much away in case they pop by and have a read. ( ohhhh this is so hard) But I can say the two gifts I wanted had to be unique and I found the perfect gifts on Treat Him (pssst there is a Treat Her site too ). I ordered from the comfort of my sofa and a few days later the two perfect gifts were on my desk. Perfect.
This year I am cheating. I am not queuing in any queues. I won’t be wrapping myself up against the elements to brave yet another unsuccessful shopping trip. This year I am doing it all online. I think so far I have bought just about every Christmas pressy online and the rest are bookmarked ready for when I have more pennies.
I’m jealous of people as organised as you. Am off to have a word with myself and check out these sites!
