Alas, my husband and I have become practical and horribly indulgent...we buy gifts for ourselves all year long. I just bought a Sky Caddie...my DH helped me do the research on it, but I bought it and am happily using it now...and my DH loves it when I'm happy! Lately, most of our gifts are for both of us...I mean, my DH bought the parts for...and built a desalinator for our boat, to the tune of $4500. He builds it, we both drink the water and we both benefit from not having to find water in the isolated reaches of British Columbia. Gifting changes after 40 years of marriage, in a good way, I think!Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.com
