The CK Daily – Intentional Gifts 🎁
Happy Monday!
I hope you had a great weekend! We are 9 days away from Christmas…can you believe it?!
This year, we’re not doing anything too over the top for Christmas, but if there’s one thing I love it’s finding very meaningful and intentional gifts for people. There is nothing better than a warm smile on Christmas morning when someone opens something that has some meaning behind it. Yes, all the other things are fun, but I feel like my husband and I try to truly think of something that someone will hit home.
I think gift giving gets harder and harder each year. Especially with so much change that can happen throughout the year, it can be kind of stressful! This year, I think we’ve fallen into the semi-last-minute shoppers. Which isn’t super typical of us, but…we’ve had a lot going on. But good news – I think we’re covered, for the most part! We’ve got a few more things we need to get and then it’ll be time to sit and wrap (which I love doing but also hate at the same time).
Are you a fan of gift giving? What’s your favorite thing about it?
