Fun Christmas Gifts
Posted by terrepruitt on January 13, 2021
So these Christmas gifts might not go in the category of helpful . . .but maybe. A friend of mine gave me some nail polish recently that started an avalanche of nail polish “needs”. Since it is more expensive than I would normally spend on a bottle of polish – and I haven’t painted my nails in years! – I thought it was the perfect “ask” for a gift. And I recently fell in love with a purple pen which started an avalanche of me wanting colored pens . . . again . . . pens are not something we need so to me it was a good “ask”. I asked for a set of pens. I was telling one of my friends that I got them and she asked if there was anything I planned on doing with them and I had not. I was just looking forward to writing with them. When I had picked them out I hadn’t really paid attention to the fact that there were GLITTER pens in there. Yeah, I am a middle aged woman that gets excited about glitter pens. So that is one of the reasons why I was so excited by the recent idea of logging a daily task by coloring. I have a fun way to use my pens.
So . . . I feel so very blessed that I am able to really just get simple things I want for Christmas. When all my needs and wants are met, it is fun to be able to get some fun stuff.
Did you get any fun stuff for Christmas?

I think fun stuff can make an excellent present – like you say, when the needs are met, these things make a lovely treat. I’m a sucker for stationery so just looking at these pens makes me happy! I didn’t actually get anything for Christmas this year but I treated myself to a £1.50 nail varnish (so cheap I thought it would be awful) that’s glittery red. Turns out it’s more pink than red but it’s pretty funky and does make me smile. It really can be the simple things that bring a little enjoy. Enjoy your nail varnish and funky pens! xx

No, which my inner child was sad about because I love unwrapping things! The only people I have really in my life are my parents, and they’re still shielding so they couldn’t go out to get me anything, and they wouldn’t have a clue how to use the Internet to buy anything. I bought my parents plenty of goodies though so I got to watch them open theirs, which is also enjoyable! 🙂

Oh, I am sorry. Because we are not going anywhere and strictly staying home we didn’t do a lot of gift exchanging this year either, but I am much older than you and I have little need for anything. I have lots of stuff, but do enjoy opening gifts. I actually currently have some I need to open, but I am waiting to schedule the Zoom with my friend to do so. I am sorry you didn’t get gifts except for the one of giving . . . that is a BIG one.

How fun!! I got my daughter and niece a set of those same gen pens! I also got them a sketch book with black pages to use with them. They both love to draw.

HA! Yeah, drawing is not in my wheelhouse. How are they liking them? With a few (the florescent and pastels) I was having a hard time writing. I love the glitter ones! Thanks for reading and commenting, my friend!

They love them! My niece is more into journaling so she uses hers for that. 🙂 The glitter pens are so fun to use on the black paper!

Oh, I bet. I LOVE the glitter pens on white paper it probably shows up a lot more on black paper. So cool!
