The Gift Of Giving

For years now, my family has talked about the silliness of buying each other gifts – especially when we all have so much already.  So much time and money can be spent buying gifts for people that may not enjoy – or keep.  Still, there is a certain joy in giving.  How have we tackled this issue? A few different ways….

1)  We started making homemade gifts.  Wreaths.  Knit or Crochet scarfs and hats.  It is a joy watching the kids work hard in the planning and making of the gifts they will give. 

2)  For the last few years now, we have given people a donation to Heifer International in their name.  It is the gift that keeps on giving.

This year, I have found something new.  A beautiful little stocking stuffer for people – and it is still a gift that keeps on giving.
