Bowen Appetit 2011 holiday gift guide (for people who like things I like)
Here are some things things I hate:
- Driving in traffic
- Parking lots
- Waiting in lines
- Shopping when I know exactly what I’m looking for but can’t find it
- Shopping when I have no idea what I’m looking for and can’t find it
- Shopping when stressed
- Shopping around other stressed out people
Holiday shopping season, how much I hate thee.
Don’t get me wrong – I love gift-giving (and -getting, let’s be real). I love when I figure out the perfect gift for someone. I love making gifts. I love putting together a set of gifts. I love wrapping gifts. I love when I get it right. But my god do I hate shopping and searching for gifts during the holidays.
To that end, I thought I might help you out a little. Let’s say you or someone you love likes to spend some time in the kitchen, or would like some help spending more time there. Let’s also say it’s mid- to late-November, and time to get some serious gift purchasing accomplished, because time only goes forward and Christmas will be here before you know it and if you like to spend your time trying to find parking in decent shopping areas once mid-December hits then you just go right ahead but I will NOT be there with you.
