Today's post is about what Christmas gifts her kids, husband and herself are getting.
My only comment - if you budget x amount for your children, spend it. Give them something not from the Dollar Tree.
Re: &lt;1000
I'm the toughest person to buy for. My birthday was a month ago, and I still feel quite satisfied with the gift of the Wonderwash
. I have wanted a kitchen thermometer
so I can start making cheese, and a black dish drainer that would look
nicer in my kitchen than our gawdy red one. Between those two, I have
spent only $10 on myself.
Am I reading correctly that she picks out and buys her own gifts "from" her H?
Another possibility is a metal pasta strainer instead of our plastic white one that never quite looks clean or a cast iron skillet instead of our aluminum one.
really? you think that's happening because it's plastic, not because you are cleaning with soapnuts and burlap or whatever you sue?
i also don't understand buying something new and then pouring melted crayons into it i buy thrift store bowls and such for my crafting.
Her husband can't be bothered to go out and buy her gifts - that would cut into his deep thinking time.
Also, I'm thoroughly scurred at the thought of her making *shudders* CHEESE. It'll probably be Kuus' worst nightmare.
I buy stuff from the dollar store (unless it's paint, paint is from the good art store) but that's where she buys her "real" stuff. I'm in shock she actually spent $24 on something.
Well, crayons are edible, technically. And so is papier mache, if you do homemade glue....
I'm confused as to how her kid knows who Lightning McQueen is. My kid doesn't - and my kid goes out into the world and watches TV (though not TV with kid commercials, usually). Although, I guess I just assumed her kids don't watch TV - is she really just plopping them down in front of my favorite neglect-o-matic while she's off lacto-fermenting her foot fungus?
