Christmas Shopping Part I

Its the one thing that is probably the hardest thing for me to do. Why?? Well maybe because its hard to find that one gift that will make someone happy and that it has thought behind it as well. Although this may be a usesless goal, cause I feel that were in a new age. Sort of like the technology age but more geared towards shopping. This is the Gift Card age. Where the idea of buying a gift for someone that has meaning has been replaced by the simple and thoughtless solution of gift cards.

Yes they are easy, yes they are nice, but what does that tell the person about the gift you got them? That you were last minute shopping and that it was important to you? Well maybe, or could it be that you just couldnt find them something that you would think that they would like? I’d go with the latter one. Most of us men know that its hard to shop, and when we do, we know exactly what we need to get and get out. But the holiday season throws us for a loop. Mostly because were trying to please someone without pissing them off for either being too cheap or thoughtless. So this year i’m defintely going to try and not get any gift cards, that is unless you give me nothing to work with.
