EWPF – Weight Pulling Dogs

With the holidays behind us, it’s a relief that we have the whole year until we need start holiday shopping once again. Although this is true, I like to use the beginning of the year to at least narrow down what I will be getting my family and friends for their birthdays. Many of my families birthdays are in the beginning of the year, so it’s especially important to think about their gifts sooner than later. I would like to think of myself as a decent gift giver. I think very carefully before I actually buy a gift. I’m not just going to buy a gift card to a store that they might like, just because it’s easy. I like my gift receivers to really think that I know that well enough to get a gift just right for them. So far I have gifts picked out for the people who have birthdays in Febrary (2 of them) and in April.

My mom is the hardest person to get a gift for, out of everyone else. She really loves to cook , so I used to get her cookbooks, but how much can someone really cook? I then thought about what her other hobbies are, and I remembered she’s recently started to garden more. She has a lot of flowers that are just planted in the ground, and are just boring. I searched online and found a maycreek 24″ copper planter, which is sure to waken up her (start up)garden.

Then there’s my cousin who recently got a new house. She’s always looking for ways for it to look more  bright and welcoming, and I’m sure my gift to her will help. I’m going to give her a mohawk architect rug. With the vibrant colors, she will no longer be complaining about her dark and dingy living room.

Lastly, there’s my uncle who is a huge dog lover. He truly lives for his dogs, and he especially loved his first one;a Golden Retriever who passed away a long time ago, but he just can’t seem to stop thinking of her. He’s often comparing the dogs he has to the Golden. Once again I went online for a gift, and searched silver ornament dog loss, and I found the perfect one. He can now remember his treasured pet every time he looks at his Christmas tree. Since his birthday is a while away from December, I’m going to suggest he can even use the ornament for any household tree he has as well.

I can’t wait to see all three of their reactions!
