The holidays are near and gifting is on people's minds. What will I buy for those I love and care for?
Predominantly the gifts this year will be shared experiences--a night at a hotel, a dinner out, a short trip, or a nearby adventure. Other gifts will be representative of lifestyle choices and desires--gifts that will assist friends and family when it comes to doing what they love or being who they want to be.
Online shopping allows us to look for those special gifts, but some things simply can't be purchased online as you have to look at the items, feel them, and imagine them in real time. Plus it's fun to shop during the holidays.
In general, I like to decide on the gifts earlier than later so I can find what I want without undue stress. Also no one knows what the weather will be like as the holidays near or what other obstacles will be thrown into the mix.
The gift of a welcoming home will also be part of the present--a place where family can gather to share a meal, stories, and an exchange of gifts. I love the way the holidays brighten the darkest days of late fall and winter, and if you're prepared, you can certainly make the most of this special time.
