Once again, Christmas isย rushing up on us,ย and I have a problemโI hate to shop. If shopping doesn’tย involve plants, books, an antique/thrift store or theย farmer’s market, I DREADย it.

For Thirsty Farmers:
Raise your hand if you know a thirsty farmer? Every farmer I’ve ever known is thirsty at the end of a long day in the fields. Could this gift be any more appropriate? At $10, buy one for eachย of your farmer friends. I bet they will crack open a cold one for you too.

For the Crafty Seamstress:ย
I don’t sew, and I love this pincushion. I do have a junk drawer withย straight pins just laying around waiting to stab me. This little treasure will wrangle all yourย pins and be stylish doing it. Just think how much someone who really sews willย appreciate it.

For Santa Claus:
Let’s talk about Santa. He works hard all year with a bunch of elves way up at the frozen North Pole so that he can pack his cramped sleigh andย deliver a bundle of soon forgotten toys down your sooty chimney. Doesn’t he deserve chocolate? Real chocolate. Chocolate with moonshine? Yes, yes he does. He’s tired of slice and bake chocolate chip cookies. He told me so.
