while holidays are by no means solely for the purpose of giving and receiving gifts, a little gift-giving here and there can't hurt. here are a few gifts i've recently received which are bound to be enjoyed for years to come:
-Toms. currently being shipped to my house. my feet are so ready to enjoy them!!
-various coffee mugs. there cannot be too many, and each one is closer to perfection.
-scandinavian almond cake pan. i'm using it this week.
-candles. one cannot go wrong with candles.
-plants. here's a tricky one. i always love plants, get excited about plants, adore plants, want more plants. and, without fail, i kill plants.
-books. i just received britt merrick's Big God in the mail from dear friends.
-favorite movies. 4 little words packed with so much childhood memory and friendly fun: anne of green gables. watching some tonight. [by the way, i continued on in Anne of Windy Poplars last night- when Katherine Brooke finally becomes a real person- ah, so wonderfully written.]
-socks. i'm not kidding, i get really excited about receiving a great pair of socks.
-cards. i was given the sweetest, simplest little card from a coworker for my birthday. the few words therein spoke volumes. it reminded me that loving people is why i have a job.
-kind words. they're probably the best gift to receive, and one of the most delightful to give.
