I've been out of the office all day and now here to catch up1
There could be some fun in the sports idea ... some serious Manchester United (soccer) fans, then there's those that are pro-Leafs (hockey) and on to other sports loyalties. Just might cause some in-fighting, which actually adds to the fun of the day! And so many other ideas ..... no it does not have to be totally quilty, though I like to gift that way, when I have the opportunity. I guess I keep having flashbacks of how my husband reacted when he received any of the "female" oriented gifts at our family gatherings, in those days. So am sooooo hesitant now, as a result. And of course, keep coming with more ...... I love all these ideas, but also love to have many to pick from. Heck, might even give me some more ideas for other gifts to give this year! Thank you! |
Gym bag or roll bag?
