I can’t believe it’s so close to Christmas. I feel like I’ve been in some time warp since our blessing and now it’s almost December! I usually do every kind of shopping (except grocery, and that’s rare because we eat out too much!) online and I’ve become exceedingly aware of how long it takes to ship things. So I have even less time. I feel at a complete loss of what to get the people in my life (and as you get older it’s hard to know who you’re buying for!).

So, newlyweds especially, what are you getting your husband?
Your new in-laws?
Your parents?
Your friends?

I’d thought about giving both our parents wedding albums for Christmas but I’ve run out of time, orders for those have to be in early November and I was swamped back then. I should probably be running to etsy, because it’s the greatest thing ever, but even there I get pretty overwhelmed. I feel like I’m at an age where we don’t really need anything, so why would we inflict additional goods on the people we love? I’ve come to appreciate food as an expression of love way more these days.

Oh, and a fun gift idea for newlyweds (that we actually received but haven’t had a chance to test out yet, we’ll have to ask our only other set of married friends to play):

we heart your comments!

I believe it was Samantha, The American Girl, who had the muffler! I had always wanted one since then :-) This will be me and my fiance’s first Christmas as an engaged couple and I have no idea what I’m getting him yet. The camera looks very nice, I like!

I had the Samantha doll with the muffler. :)
The boy and I stopped giving each other gifts during the holidays a while ago. We take turns buying fancy dinners instead.
