As we count down the days to the silly season, with our endless to do lists, party dates and event preparations, many of us become fixated on what we are going to put under the Christmas tree for our friends and loved ones.
For some, this is wrapped up quickly, sometimes months prior but for others it can be an endless search stretching right up to retail close of business December 24th!
It has become way too easy these days to opt for simpler solutions, one being the gift card! No thinking required. We seem to question our choices and come up with excuses like “Oh they are fussy”, “You get yourself something nice” or “I never know what you like”.
I remember the days when whatever was handed to you was received with anticipation and excitement and unwrapping it was part of the joy. Whatever was inside was what it was and it was usually something the giver had put copious amounts of time and thought into. We would be impolite if we didn’t like it.
It’s gifting season…something from me to you, so let’s get back to the heart of why we do it and start putting a little more thought into what we wrap up in a big, bright bow!
Peninsula businesses are stocked up with some amazing products to excite you, so shop local and fill those Christmas stockings.
A safe a joyous season to all,
Annette
