What DOES She Want for Christmas?!

Dear Internet,

As they say here on the Interwebs: I am disappoint.

(I don’t know why they say it. Or why they say it like that. It’s disturbing, no?)

Let’s start again.

I’m disappointed in you, dear Internet. While I usually make it a point to avoid my analytics like the plague, the other day I decided to look. I looked after someone in my photography message group asked what our strangest keyword search string was lately (“Personal Zamboni,” baby), and so I took a deep breath and wandered over to see.

First of all – all y’all looking for cookies and cheesecake on a stick? Hello! Hi. Glad you found me. It’s yummy. Eat up. Enjoy.

Now, the rest of you? The ones searching, “What does she want for Christmas?” or “What to get someone who won’t say what she wants for Christmas?” It’s you I’m disappointed with (Unless, of course, you are shopping for me, in which case Amazon gift cards work, and I should start seeing those roll through my inbox shortly, no?).

There’s a lot of people landing here somehow, after searching for gift ideas and I guess that makes me a bit sad.

The thing is, dear Internet, odds are I don’t know the she you are hoping to shop for. I probably don’t know what she likes and doesn’t like, or her favorite color, or her hobbies, or whether or not she’d think getting a pygmy monkey for a pet would be awesome or less than awesome.

But you should.

I’m guessing the mysterious she wants you to know who she is and what she’s about and she wants you to pay attention and be observant and she wants you to pick up on her hints and her cues and find that perfect gift for her.

IF SHE KNEW YOU WERE VISITING SOME RANDOM BLOG OF SOME RANDOM LADY IN MICHIGAN TRYING TO FIND A GIFT IDEA? She might be slightly underwhelmed also.

Just saying.

I get it, gift giving can be tough. There can be a lot of pressure to find the right thing.

But I assure you, I know nothing more than the rest of y’all. I get some cool stuff to review sometimes (Tide To Go Stain Erasers recently ended up in my mail box, and that might be a fun stocking stuffer because damn they work, but is that why you’re here? I dunno), and I have all kinds of opinions about all kinds of things and so maybe… just maybe I do have something to contribute to the whole generation of gift ideas thing.

But…probably not.

Somehow, a lot of you searched those words and ended up here. I hope you’ll find something you like and stick around. But… I can’t tell you what to get her for Christmas. Or her birthday. Or Valentines Day, if you’re into that sort of thing.

But I sure do hope you figure it out.

Just use your noggin’. And your heart.

I guarantee, she’ll probably maybe kinda sorta love whatever you come up with.

Good luck!

(And back away from the Google).

 

Love,

Sarah
