I've been giving this some thought. Maybe too much. But I was told once that I was "hard to buy for." Me? Really? I mean REALLY? I knit, I spin, I quilt, I sew and even crochet once in a while. And yes, I know certain family members are saying there is enough fiber in my stash to cloth a small third world country, but I like fiber. I love yarn, I enjoy walking around a fabric store and seeing/feeling all the new fabrics, and there is always a need for accessories - i.e. knitting needles (yes I know that I have three very large vessels holding pointy sticks, but....), sewing notions - a quilt does use up a lot of thread, and there's always need for batting. And of course in spinning - you can never have enough bobbins. Who knows when the mood hits you to start spinning that gorgeous new angora/alpaca/silk blend.
So you see, I'm really not all that hard. Gift cards are nice - but I even like when dear daughter surprises me with yarn - and then says - it would really look nice as a scarf for me!
And don't forget magazine subscriptions. That's a present that last all year.
Happy holiday shopping everyone. I think I'll go finish those yoga socks daughter requested when she gave me yarn for my birthday!
I did not say a small third world country, I said a large third world country.
