As the season to gift give grows even closer, I was chatting with the lovely Ashley on how hard it is to shop for our husbands. It’s true. I lament shopping for Sean, who is so specific in what he likes that it’s sometimes the most stressful process ever to find him something. Mostly because he only likes presents that are roughly $4 billion dollars or so tech-y that I’m bound to buy the incorrect one unless he’s standing next to me. So now I demand a list of like 60 items before I even step foot in the store (oh, who are we kidding.. sign onto Amazon.com) so I’ve got some clue as to what he won’t grimace at when that wrapping paper comes off.
Safe bets for my husband? Nerf toys, Lego sets, Moon Sand and remote control helicopters. If you just wondered if I married a 12 year old – yes, yes I did.
Then it reminded me of how my sister holds the title of World’s Best Gift Giver. I kid you not, nothing is tougher than trying to find a gift to give to her that comes even REMOTELY close to what she’s bound to give to you. No joke. She’ll be like… Remember that time you once sneezed and a lady wearing blue said bless you? It reminded me of how you had that look in your eye that you loved her shoes, so I Google’d and found out that the man who made them has actually died — but had a nephew who once worked under him but was then blinded in a terrible accident but had managed to pass along his craft to a Chilean miner and as soon as he was brought to the surface*, I had him make you a pair.
And then you’re like wow! Here’s the chapstick I got you. It reminded me of that time you had used some chapstick.
(I still love you sis).
*Too soon?
