That is the question. So here's the deal-io. Even on my limited budget, I have bought all my peeps presents. I like all the presents I bought, and if it weren't for fit, my upper body (read: boobs) is much smaller than well, um, anyone I know (Hello, 34A, for reals, 34 effin' A), I would keep all the presents. ALL OF THEM.
Especially these two items:
(1) I bought a rhinestone-y bracelet watch (no pic available because it's just so SHINY!) for my aunt M. Last year we bought her a pin, and I didn't want to start a trend and get her a pin every year. BORING! I have peeps who buy me the same presents EVERY year. And I'm grateful. I really am. But we need to view gift giving like planting crops a la Confessions of a Shopaholic, and buy something different each year. Good for the earth, and good for Smart Cookie. Anyway, this watch is really not my style, but I really love it. I keep thinking how beautiful and practical it would be to wear to a semi or totally formal event. Do you ever have that happen? You have a really cool day watch, but nothing snazzy enough to wear to fancy party? That's the reason I usually skip wearing a watch to parties in the first place. But this watch is speaking to me. And you know how much I love it when my clothes or accessories speak to me. I plan on going to Macy's tomorrow anyway because I have to buy J some stuff (I bought him something during my 3 hour bout of insomnia last night that I hope he loves) and something for my work secret santa, so I don't know. P.S. The watch was only $15.
(2) I bought this for one of my peeps. At first, I thought she'd really love it. But now, I'm not so sure. I bought her some other stuff, too, so if I decide to keep it, it's not like I have to spend more money, but I don't want to keep it for the wrong reasons. So I think I'll hold off on wrapping it for a while and see if asks me to stay in the Ferrara home.
