I prefer make something with my own hands so as to make the present unique and personal, It may be just a drawing, but with all my heart

Gift certificates, that way they have a CHOICE!

Obviously

A loved one's presence!

I love giving

Normally it's money for the grands and kids. We are usually in a different state than they are and they can get what they want with cash.

I give my neighbors, mail lady, librarian(all the library workers), doctor's office, hairstylist and garbagemen some homemade goodies. Last year I made trays of cookies, homemade candy and homemade dog biscuits(for those who have dogs ).

This year I may change it up and make some homemade Baileys Irish Cream, mint hot cocoa mix, a vanilla body scrub, the dog biscuits, and a couple of kinds cookies….although my Mounds Bars go over really well. I'm still deciding

For my in-laws they get an all in one present. My husband and I spend a week with them each summer in NY and do anything on their "honey do" list and we buy the materials. I also give my in-laws a break and cook for them the week we are there. My MIL says we can come more than once a year

I always make assorted flavours of fudge for the holidays to pass out

I am terrible at giving gifts! But recently I just pick out some snacks and Japanese stuff that I know my family can't find in the states.
Who else is sick of hearing me talk about Japan! *raises hand*

It's home for you. Of course you are going to talk about it! It doesn't bother me at all.

No worries Alynn….BTW, how did you end up there?

Both of these ideas sound like awesome presents to give!

Went drama queen crazy, decided I wanted to live on the other side of the planet because I couldn't stand being so close to a certain person, looked up English teaching jobs in Japan, and the rest is history.

Wow that was pretty daring. How long do you plan on staying there?
