Christmas Shopping

Ugh... I hate Walmart at Christmas time. We went yesterday and it was literally 20 minutes of shopping and an hour and a half navigating our way through the store. Getting behind people who would continually stop to look at something and take up the whole aisle to do it was riding my last nerve. Not to mention, I am extremely claustrophobic. Well, aside from that, I was able to make some progress. I'm almost ready to call this shopping season finished. I'm going to attempt one more go early this morning and try to beat the crowd. I'm hoping to find a couple little surprises for my love. Why are guys so hard to shop for. At Christmas time it must be easier to be a guy. Women are (in my opinion) much easier to impress with gifts. Guys never seem to like what you get them or even know why you picked a certain something. *sigh* There really isn't that much to choose from if you want to really impress them either. Somehow I don't think smelly candles or bubble bath gifts sets will do. I always like to go with something that is sentimental or something that he is really into. The problem with that is, I know what he's into and he probably has a more extensive collection of it than anyone on the planet. I couldn't pick something that is the right thing that he doesn't already have if I tried all year. My next angle... go for something that means something to me and hope he appreciates me wanting to share it with him. It's kind of a risky call and could be totally wrong but it beats the bubble bath gift set the big retailers want me to buy him. xP Stay tuned and I'll tell you what I found and how it worked.
