Window nº 2
Go shopping today for presents!

Shopping seems to be the fun part about the holidays, but it can be harder to find that perfect present for your family and friends then you might think. Start to listen and notice what others like and want so shopping will not be so stressful and then your sure to get something they like. Also looking through sale papers are helpful to find some great gift ideas. Or if money is tight this season then a homemade present can be even better then a store bought one so make a scrapebook, a card, or an ornament for someone.
