Ashley Brooke Designs: Stress-Free Gifting

HI there!

Happy Thursday!  I am so excited to visit my cousin's new baby today--sweet, sweet Anna!  Then I get to have dinner with Miss Monogram and LAS--should be a fun-filled day!

Today I thought I'd share a favorite blurb from Emily Post's Etiquette with tips for stress-free gift giving.

-Ask recipients for hints or a wish-list.  Be on the lookout for items throughout the year.
-Trust your own judgment.   Don't be afraid that the gift isn't perfect, if you think they'll like it, they probably will.
-Stay on budget.  If you spend outside your budget, the fun of gifting will be overshadowed by the stress of extending your budget.
-Have nice, thoughtful gifts stashed away in a gift closet for when the gifting occasion presents itself.
