I only gifted my former officemate, with things like a magic 8 ball, flyswatter and whatnot. He was almost a work spouse, in the sense we'd vent to each other about work AND life.
My mom just gives stuff to her favorite people and figures screw the rest. Though this year, she'd really like to send the reading coordinator and one second grade teacher some nasty poison.

You need those, Kat.
Well, one pair of mine are olive... I really like olive, actually. I'm just bent because I didn't get the olive shoes in black as well before they sold out. Stupid me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Ugh, I forgot to give a gift to our messenger on our floor. I am the worst at christmas-- I leave whatever gifts I am going to buy until the very last minute (this year, it's Friday) and forget to get gifts for friends. I look forward to the day I'm a real grownup like msbelle.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Do people at your job gift and card each other? Or is it a school thing?I've seen it happen in a lot of places. And rather randomly. There's usually a person or three who give out personalized wee gifts and cards. Makes me feel guilty because I am really not that person no matter how much I would like to pretend.

I keep clicking to links of shoes that are adorable but that I can't see myself buying. I can see myself borrowing them from a friend (like, say, from the friend of mine who loves fun shoes and then lets me take them out for an evening) and adoring them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's me, too.

I'm clearly a shoe person (in college I had a sort of imelda rep and at one point, I moved ~100 pairs of shoes in plastic boxes, labelled from one apartment to the next). But I'm becoming a bag person. I bought this one today (see what I mean about pink giraffe pattern). Though GOOD GOD I paid less than 1/10th what the bag retails for.
