Today’s Topic: What are your biggest challenges with the holidays coming up?
Thankfully, most of our holiday shopping is already completed for the boys. We never stop shopping for the boys and keep things in our closet all year. It makes it super simple by spreading our purchasing over the entire year along with allowing us to shop clearance right after the holidays.
My biggest challenge is gift giving to family members. My brother always wants cash and I am not the one to normally give cash as a present. He’s with a new girlfriend and is his usual I’m-with-a-girl self which is highly annoying as he changes to like whatever the girl likes. It means that I have to figure out what the girl likes so I can pick something out that he’ll like. Maybe I’ll just skip him this year. LOL
I usually put together a couples or family gift basket for Erica, my ex-sister-in-law, and her fiancé but I have no ideas for this years basket. This year I had a fantastic idea for the boys to do for their cousins. I picked up some non-painted wooden trinket boxes on clearance a while back and I thought the boys could paint them before hitting the dollar store to fill them with little trinkets. I have some unopened board games and a few other things tucked away in the gift closet so I’ll add an item for each cousin along with the trinket box.
