I've realized there is something about shopping I just like. I don't know what it is. Maybe the excitement and fun of owning something new? Or the fact that I gradually browse and browse for something and only buy it when I love it? It is a greater reward that way and it's no different when it comes to Christmas shopping. Because I love it. Shopping for gifts for my family is one of my favorite things. It's the work and time and effort you put into thinking about the best thing I could get for my Mom. Then the fun of her getting her gift and it being something she really really likes.
It's one of my strengths actually. Part of my #1 strength, individualization, means that I give good gifts to people because I understand them and am able to discern something that they would really like. So as I'm browsing for a gift for my Mom online and trying to think of what she would love I am having just as much fun looking online as I will giving her the gift. Actually that's probably not true, giving gifts is the best but I do love some good searching to produce one great gift.
