I had a completely different blog written until I saw this article this morning. It was titled “It’s Time to Stop Giving Gifts to Adults“
And it’s true. Most adults can get whatever they would like to have for themselves.
So often we stress about spending lots of money to get people things thinking we MUST spend certain amounts of dollars on them and often end up getting them something they don’t need or want!
Years ago my family decided to stop giving gifts to each other.
We were mostly giving gift cards anyway and it just seemed silly to hand each other a gift card for the same amount!
Some people balked at that concept as I tried to spread it out beyond the immediate family.
However, I still would prefer that, if you insist on getting me something, give me memories!!
That means, take me to someplace you know we would enjoy going together like a museum or botanical garden or an event. Or take me out to eat. Or send me a picture of something you know I would enjoy seeing! Let me know you were thinking of me!
Stop stressing about getting THINGS and give MEMORIES instead! It’s very rewarding!

Have you seen my Gratitude For Life Journal and cards?
They help you to be grateful for all you have … big and small … in your life.
The book is available on Amazon AND both the cards and book are available in my shop.
