I admit it. I am new at this Christmas Shopping thing. I was raised in a household headed by a woman who was raised by another woman that believed Christmas was a Pagan Celebration. Yep. I could really care less. I know, I'm probably offending many people. Oh Well. The US Corporations who really run this country have marketed this thing to death. I mean for goodness sake people are shooting each other to get the better present. You know that I will NEVER buy something for my children people are killing each other for.
Neither will I buy diamonds. Child slavery for a rock that really isn't all that rare, just MARKETED that way, etc. (Not that anyone would buy diamonds for me either). Really- look it up. I know, that's for another whole topic.
BUUUT....... My kids know about Christmas. I am not going to put them through the feelings I had as a child... "What did you get for Christmas this year?" Answer- "Nothing."
I WILL NOT buy into the whole crazy 57 presents, one more each year plastic toy mess.
Anyway-
I am open to suggestions for adult gifts. Mind you I am trying to conserve my resources for adoption here people.
I found one place on the net that I like. It is called GreenFeet. I really like gift ideas like this Garden In A Bag.
I posted about Nova Natural Toys and Crafts earlier.
Oh! And found these cool little things in Texas.
Any other suggestions for something kinda cool with a sensible output of cash?

Someone at work just mentioned this site: http://www.redenvelope.com/giftcatalog/Ccat10111.jsp
Not sure if there's anything good there...
While I enjoy celebrating Christmas, I agree that it is OVERDONE!!!
