A cousin asked me not too long ago if I had any interests or hobbies. "Hmmm," I said, "Do I have any interests or hobbies?..." I was wishing that I could say things like "I just love to sail catamarans in the open sea" or "I raise Arabian horses" or "I'm a collector of ancient Egyptian art." Instead, I replied, "I just LOVE wrapping presents!" He shot me a look of curiosity. "I don't just wrap them. I WRAP them. It's like creating art to me! I take a picture of every gift that I wrap." "Oooh kay," he tentatively replied.
I'm guessing that "gifts" is my love language. I actually love giving them more than I love receiving them. There's the thinking of the perfect thing. There's the purchase of the perfect thing. And then...there's the WRAPPING of the perfect thing.
a cookbook and a labeler
some sort of "girl stuff"
a wedding shower gift
a gift certificate to a store called "My Cup of Tea"
a gift for a baby boy who was adopted in Africa
Sometimes the actual choice of gift is gift wrap-driven. Hmmm. Do I have a box for that? What could I use as a package topper?
More to come!
