This is the way I prefer to give gifts: A few weeks ago, miss A and I were in a consignment store and found this old framed matte, it felt like synchronicity. It was perfect for my mother, who has 9 grandkids and is having a hard time remembering now. I had each kid choose an image they liked and put it in this frame for her. It's old school but kinda cool.
One of my nephews kept sending images of himself partying, which weren't the most appropriate for my mom. It made us laugh though and in a few years, I will have a kick ass white elephant gift.
