I have to admit I have several friends who are very practical and take my "I really need...." literally.I have received underwear, a broom and dustpan, a mop (note: I really am a very clean person, these items were just wearing out), back when I was married I got a skill saw. Those are the only a few that pop into mind right now. Hope you are doing great and enjoying the Winter Holidays!!! And I really hope that you are feeling good and your health is great! I am celebrating Xmas sometime in January when I get caught up from the last few health setbacks.I really need a new pillow however I am not saying that out loud with friends in a store, haha!!!! Big hugs to you!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717894057589454128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005986735966635433.post-26592486990911958802013-12-22T19:10:50.249-05:002013-12-22T19:10:50.249-05:00LOL that's hilarious. the fact that they even ...LOL that's hilarious. the fact that they even saved it to begin with is a little strange, but then gifting it...<br />Merry Christmas to you too!Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831231531918915804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005986735966635433.post-25739478937341923892013-12-22T19:09:43.989-05:002013-12-22T19:09:43.989-05:00Love the sentiment of making others happy, John.

I prefer having mellowed over the years, my worst reactions to these things being passive disappointment. It's a holiday about making those I love happy.

But I have given (and gotten) plenty of atrocious gifts, thanks to our friends' annual Bad Gift Exchange party every January. It all started because of a puffy glittery elephant on a turquoise sweatshirt and has escalated from there.Nate Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690171790664252309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005986735966635433.post-10546369294801701702013-12-18T21:41:51.290-05:002013-12-18T21:41:51.290-05:00My favorite animal is the zebra and so people get ...My favorite animal is the zebra and so people get me a lot of zebra stuff, which more often than not I love. But a few years ago someone once gave me a zebra print cardigan that was clearly meant for a woman 70+. It was awful! But I appreciated that the person knew how much I loved zebra and tried picking out something for me, so it was the kind thought that counted! I donated the cardigan to a women's shelter, so hopefully someone got it who needed it and liked it.<br /><br />Happy reading and writing! from <a href="http://lauramarcella.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines</a>Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005986735966635433.post-15614372365626693902013-12-18T20:49:57.997-05:002013-12-18T20:49:57.997-05:00It was awful.
