I actually love to give practical and thoughtful gifts, and yes, when inspired, easy and in the flow for all involved. Seeing the look of gratitude on my son's face is very precious to me, and I will continue to give gifts to people I love. Just a little more thoughtfully, consciously and with love for myself too. Most of the gifts will be throughout the year on Birthdays and just because days and they might not cost a cent...like a handmade card or collage.

I love to look at new products that are cruety free and environmentally created. I prefer to touch and feel things but have to get things on the internet because "green products" are hard to find most places. I'd like to see green products everywhere and acceptable as gifts for everyone. I think people should give gifts when they are inspired and not feel like they have to on holidays.

Im totally over it as well. Im buying only things that are useful. My daughter needs a bicycle, as she left her old one in Florida before we moved. This is what she wants, and this is all she really wants for Christmas. Im proud of the job Ive done with her, shes hardly materialistic. As a parent it really is a battle against the advertising monsters to bring up a child that doesnt covet disposables.
My mother asked me what I wanted, and I told her nothing..REALLY. She insisted I ask for something, so I told her to choose between a few kitchen items that would contribute to my raw lifestyle.
I avoid malls enough already. I think that going in one this time of year would trigger a major gag reflex.

Yes. I've never liked to shop. And nowadays I hate it even more. I feel bad though when people give me presents, or family expects presents and I didn't want to have to dodge people at the store just to buy something commercially made.
