It’s The Thought That Counts – Thoughtful Gift Giving

Posted by on January 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment

When giving gifts for any occasion, it’s the thought that counts. Being a thoughtful gift giver means we have taken the time to carefully think about the gift recipient’s personal interests, needs, wants, likes and dislikes, in order to find an appropriate gift to give from the heart.

Being thoughtful is defined by personal qualities like being kind, giving, considerate, attentive, appreciative, helpful, caring, loving, and giving mindful thought towards the comfort and good of others. Kids learn the thought counts very early in life, and teachers appreciate thoughtful gifts from schoolchildren, so why are thoughtful gifts given such a bad rap?

But for Internet savvy parents, those days are gone. There are now a wide array of printable holiday craft projects you can download from the Web. Just print and follow the instructions. And many of the printables are so versatile, so you can even use them in ways beyond that which their original designer intended.

Christmas Wish List: My Top Christmas Wish List for Christmas

Posted by on December 15, 2008

My Christmas Wish List

Christmas Wish List

Coming up with my Christmas wish list for Christmas is always a challenge for me. I’m very good at crossing off everyone else’s Christmas wish lists, as I start my Christmas shopping very early. When it’s time to tell friends and family about my Christmas wish list, that’s where I often get stuck. “What do you want for Christmas?”, “What is on your Christmas wish list this year?” are the questions everyone wants to know.

My Christmas wish list is more like an online wish list, since virtually everything I buy is online anymore. Since many other bloggers have posted a Christmas wish list of their own, I guess it’s not too crazy an idea for me to do the same. So, here goes my Christmas list of gifts I hope to receive for Christmas, and hopefully Santa Claus will grant me everything on my wish list this year. I’ve been a very good girl all year long, just in case you didn’t know. :)

Well, there goes my Christmas wish list for Christmas 2008. I can’t get enough of Josh Groban or David Cook, so I’m really hoping for some CD’s for Christmas.

The Digital Picture Frame would be great for family pictures on my desk at work, and the Portable DVD Player and matching headphones would be great each time I fly to visit my grown kids and grandson out of state, or when I finally get the opportunity to travel to Olongapo in the Philippines. Plane rides can be very boring to say the least.

What is on your Christmas wish list this year? If you could name your Top 5 Christmas gifts you hope to receive, what would they be? Did you make a Christmas wish list?
