One of the other things I really need to get finished is my Christmas shopping. My goal was to have 3/4 of it done by Thanksgiving. I am not sure if that is going to happen. I have people currently sitting on my list that I have no idea what I am going to get them. For these people, I tend to fall back on my standby of gift cards. Everyone loves gift cards. I know I adore them. Then, I am able to get what I want without having to stand in the return line. Plus, as a shopper, it saves me time. I know that it takes away from the giving spirit of picking something special out, but do you really care if I spend 3 hours looking for something for you or if I spend 10 minutes a buy you some gift cards instead? Maybe the better question is — what do you buy for that hard to buy for person?
