I was reviewing some of my past posts....this is one from 2015. I'm reposting it because the story has not changed. What's a girl to do?
It appears that the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is shrinking. I remember when I was under 18, it seemed like forever for Christmas to get here after the day of turkey. And in the past few years, it seems I haven't even emptied the dishwasher from the thanksgiving meal and it is time to put up a tree (geez, that is a post all its own) shop for all those people on your list--that list where 99% of them fall into the category "what in the hell do I get _______?" (sadly, I can fill this blank in with a dozen names) Oh, don't get me wrong, I have finished my shopping. But it has NOT been easy. I try and buy all year long--see something, over hear a "want"--get it......but there is one that stumps me every year. My husband is getting some real crap....not intentionally but he has to be the hardest man on the planet to find something for to put under the tree. So what are the options for this man? what does he like? what does he do? What are his hobbies? Let's explore........ 1. What does he like? He likes books. We own a book publishing company and online store (www.cowboybookworm.com.) So HOW CAN I BUY HIM A BOOK??? 2. What does he do or wear? He is a cowboy. He wears boots and jeans and western shirts. He offices at home and can wear t-shirts and sweats if he wants. So what to get a cowboy? Jeans? he buys 2-3 pair before the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas first week of December. nope, not an option. Boots? he has the funkiest feet and there is NO way I will buy him boots. Western shirts?: since he offices at home, he rarely puts on a long sleeve shirt so he has plenty. Belt? again...he is picky and wants no bling. don't risk it. Hat? Are you kidding me? 3. Cologne? He does wear cologne but evidently I am completely unaware of my buying habits of this product. He got some for Valentine's Day, his birthday and our anniversary. Worst part is I bought the same cologne EVERY TIME. What the heck? I am banned from cologne purchases until 2020. 4. What are his hobbies? His hobby is books. See number 1. So there you have it...least YOU have it, because Mr. Huckaby sure doesn't. Sorry honey. xxxo
