Baby quilts, bibs, burp cloths etc. I plan to designate a certain closet to a gift closet. I am really really serious! I want to walk over to my closet at Christmastime next year and just pull out a gift and wrap. Ok, I know everyone is laughing. It sure sounds good, doesn't it!
Not laughing here. For years I have started "shopping" for next C'mas right after the 25th. Not necessarily purposeful shopping, but if I am out anytime and see something that I think a certain person would like, I pick it up and it goes in my BIG gift tote. Other than last minute sewing gifts, I am often done with purchased gifts by the end of September. Have fun filling your closet this year!!!
