I like to give gifts.

When I was a little girl I would save pennies so I could have something under the tree for everyone at Christmas. It was mainly junk, but it was bought with the recipients in mind. I did manage a tie rack for my brothers one year which was useful.

So I had fun today. I had a high-school graduate and a bride-to-be to please. Her local shower is this Saturday. She be from Detroit.

I've gone beyond trying to read the minds of young women. The graduate has a nice check (she used to look after the cat when we were out of town), and the bride has a certificate to Amazon. But they still needed a little packaging.

I found a cheerful card for the grad. But at the new dollar place in the mall I found a tiara and scepter for the bride. Isn't every bride a princess?

I also found cheap, safe baby toys for the birds.

What a nice day.
