Well, it's that time again where Mark and I feel that as adults we have to somehow pool together our funds and procure simple, hopefully thoughtful gifts for our immediate families. Currently we're taking care of the West Coast family.
Sometimes we do a nice toy for just the kids but last time we did we saw the gift just tossed aside in a mess. It's not their fault, they're kids and quite honestly, in good ol' American fashion, they just have too many toys.
This year we're just getting a simple, personalized item for each family unit. Sure, it might also be tossed aside but at least we attempted to be tasteful and we just want to show we're thinking of them.
I was laughing the other day about how my tastes have changed as an adult and how if I were to make a 'list' what would be on it. I came up with three things:
a Tibetan singing bowl
an African rain stick
and a new pair of Uggs.
They're totally useless things but they are items I've always wanted. I won't bite the bullet and buy them because I don't really have expendable income to justify something like a singing bowl. But apparently if I had a chunky wallet my apartment would look like a Pier One Imports store and a Sam Ash.
