A new blog to contain answers to prompts

Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

Prompt: Holiday shopping:
Are you an early shopper or a last-minute kind of shopper?


-------

Normally, I like doing things ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time. I mean, I'm not one of those people who do Christmas shopping in June, but late fall is a good time in my book. Still, there have been occasions when I needed to do a last minute shopping, possibly for a new friend or someone whose name slipped my mind earlier.

Most of the time, my gifts are pretty straightforward. They are usually something I know they want, possibly something they may need, or something to read. Unless I know the person real well, I don't get something to wear for them because buying clothes for people can get extra tricky. Also, another kind of a gift is something they can really have fun with like a board game or a year's subscription to an online game that I know they like playing. Then, when I am in a bind or don't know the person well enough, my gift could be something they didn't know they wanted. *Laugh*

Shopping for gifts can get trickier when one lives in a very crowded city. Then, when buying stuff in the stores, one has to be careful about their personal and financial safety. Of course, there's always Amazon and online shopping, too, to come to the rescue.
