🎁THE GIFT:

The “something to look forward to IOU" Gift

My life was chaos. In one month, I moved to a new city and switched jobs. Of course, that month also included my tough-to-buy-for daughter’s birthday. I did know that she loves paddleboarding and that she had a Florida Keys vacation booked for spring break. As a last-minute gift, I gave her a tube of sunscreen and a nice handwritten card that said I would find & treat her to the best paddleboarding option in the Keys. This gift was ultimately a hit and it took me almost no time upfront while buying me some much-needed time.

P.S. - In response to last week’s white elephant piece, thanks to sister-in-laws Kathy & Cathy in Ohio for sharing their family’s infamous impractical heels that get passed around every year! Apparently they are made of metal and weigh a ton!
