A big part of the festive season for me is gift giving, which I no doubt would have mentioned last December. This is one of my favourite things of the season, but it also causes me a little bit of grief as I agonise over buying the perfect present for those near and dear to me. So far this time around I have managed to sort out some gifts before December 1st, which is great if you are using online shopping because shipping can take a bit of time. A few websites that I recommend are Chapters, Amazon and Book Depository, especially the book website as they offer free shipping worldwide. The notion of gift giving also makes me think of what things I would love to buy for myself if money was no object. It's not a big list, but I think there is definitely quality over quantity in it:
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Huge Hillier Hobo bag (image courtesy of Bloomingdales)
- Apple iPad (image courtesy of Apple)
This might seem a little bit greedy, but they are really just lust-haves if I should be so lucky. The most important thing about the festive season is spending time with loved ones and really just soaking up the atmosphere. In saying this I do also like to contribute to the less fortunate in some way usually via a donation to a toy or food drive. The festive season is a reminder of how grateful I am to have a job, a roof over my head and the means to do things I really enjoy with the people I love.
