Christmas is a time for thinking and doing for others. A time to appreciate family. A time to sip hot cocoa and sing carols. Or, it’s time for a big boost to the economy and a chance to splurge. Maybe it’s all of the above.
If you’re wondering what to get that person in your life, well, I have answers for you. Really, if that person is anything like me, here’s a list of many, many things, any of which, that person would love. Aka, the list of things I won’t let myself buy:
