The BEST gift giver

I've always been the first to start Christmas shopping in my family.

I spend, at most, $35 on the presents combined.
I give the best presents.
Usually the gifts have a common theme, but they're all personalized for the family member that they are going to..

One year I gave journals. On the front was their first initial, inside was a heartfelt letter from me. And accompanying it was a coloring book to suit their personality.

This past Christmas I got each person a cookie tin, each lid had something different, to match the personality of the receiver. The cookie tin was filled with yummy chocolate, hot cocoa packets, candy canes, and other Christmas candy. Each person also received some kind of little knick knack. One sister received a small dish to place earrings in, another received a small jewelry box, one brother received a piggy bank, my parents received a small figurine. I spent a total of $20.

See, you CAN have an inexpensive Christmas. :]

I've always given the best gifts and the family can never guess what will come this year.. But I can never hold it in. So I'll end up telling one sister, it switches off each year. :]
And although I will be away from home, yet again, this year, I hope to retain my title. The title of.. The BEST gift giver.

You guys have no idea what's coming. :]

P.S. 50% of 2013's Christmas shopping is already complete!
