I realize that Christmas is two months away and we still have Halloween and Thanksgiving to get through, but I like to start shopping early. In fact, I already have 3 gifts out of the way and have 4 more to purchase when my Christmas club account money gets deposited into my bank account on November 1st. Now, I pride myself on my gifts. I generally don't buy gift cards or things like candles/body sprays/lotions. I love unique gifts that require thought, which is probably why I start so early every year. I love photo collages and the past two years have gone a simpler route of making calendars for a couple friends (one of which requested the calendar as part of her gift last year so she could put it on her desk at work.)
Unfortunately, sometimes unique gifts are hard to find. Or some people are harder to shop for. My dad, for instance, is always a struggle. Recently, thanks to Ms. Lisa A, and Mrs. Jennie H, I have become addicted to the website Pinterest.com. This site is great for planning things, or organizing ideas, or just wasting away hours at a time when I should be doing homework, lol. Basically, you "pin" photos to your "board" and you can view everyone else's boards to get ideas. I currently have 16 boards and 425 pins. My largest board is entitled "Words" and has various sayings. I also have one entitled "A Place to Call Home" which includes decorating and furniture ideas for when I get my own place, and one entitled "Nerdiness<3" and well, you can imagine what that one is like. But my favorite part of discovering this site is the great opportunity to discover unusual and unique gifts opportunities. I found an amazing one my brother will love (won't say what in case he reads this =P) and even something for my dad!
Here are a few of my faves! Hope you're all enjoying you October!
