~Pressure~
I am loving this weather, but I still can’t help but to think Christmas is right around the corner.
Like it or not.
Even though I’m tired of picking green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, and herbs- these are the gifts I love to give.
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like gift giving sometimes creates a pressure that is unnecessary.
Don’t add the extra stress! Life is crazy enough.
I can’t speak for all, but I feel like most never expect a gift - it’s always appreciated and an honor to be thought of.
Just keep it simple.
🌽Do you have a lot in your garden? - can it or give it now, and that’s one less gift to worry about later.
🥩Have beef that didn’t sell? - keep it, save it for Christmas time.
🥚Extra eggs from the chickens? - Give them now, or make a breakfast casserole or whatever.
📸Everyone loves pictures - Book a mini session.
🌯Everyone is always looking for supper ideas - put one together,and gift it or get a gift card to a local restaurant. I think I’m going to do pizza kits this year.
🕰️Time - Everyone is busy! Take a day, set everything aside, and go do something.
💈Everyone needs a haircut - gift certificate!
Think of something to make someone’s life easier - especially those in the thick of life.
