I just love giving gifts! I love buying them, I enjoy wrapping them up and nothing is better than when you nail it and the gift is appreciated by the recipient!
Think I have it from my mom, she is just the same. Actually - I think she is worse.
Last year when I was visiting her in December she was done with all her Christmas presents for the year and when I revealed that I had a few left for my girlfriends she says 'Ooooh, we can go shopping for gifts, how fun! Won't you let me pitch in a bit so that the gifts to your friends are a little bit from me too?
Got to love my mom!

Å gi bort gaver er noe av det koseligste jeg vet. Det er moro å handle presanger, det er gøy å pakke dem inn og ingen ting er bedre enn når noen liker det du gir dem!
Jeg tror jeg har det fra mamma. Eller når jeg tenker meg om så tror jeg hun er enda værre. I fjor da jeg besøkte henne nordpå rett før jul var hun for lengst ferdig med innkjøpene av sine presanger. Så da jeg sa at jeg hadde et par igjen var gleden stor. 'Åh så koselig, da kan vi ta oss en handlerunde! Kan jeg ikke få legge i noen kroner sånn at presangene til Ulla, Heidi og Lynette blir littegrann fra meg også?'
Fine mamsen!
I love buying and giving gifts too, when ever I'm out and about I think oh so and so will like that but I have to stop myself from getting it as I think for some people it can get overwhelming. I used to buy my things in September but this year I haven't got myself organised at all, I hope the snow clears a little for the weekend so that I can go out and buy things... I've only just bought one things so far :| but I don't have so many people to buy for.
SvarSlettHello, my dear!!!
SvarSlettI love to buy gifts. But I do not like to pack up. Although one could make it so beautiful!
Have a wonderful day,
Big Hugs,
Yvonne
aw she sounds like a perfect mom!!!
SvarSletti also love buying and wrapping gifts...enjoy your christmas shopping!
SvarSlettx
She sounds like a lovely mom...I adore buying gifts and the best part of it all is when the person opens the gift up and loves it:)
SvarSlettAww..Kisses, darling
Tänk att jag tycker bruna, enkla paket kan vara det mest effektfulla! Mina två söner älskar dock stjärnor & glitter på sina paket, så det blir mest sådana som hamnar under granen ändå! :-)
SvarSlettå,kor fint du pakka inn:) æ lika åsså best å ordne d sjøl!
SvarSlettWhat a great mom! I love giving gifts too!
SvarSlettwhat a good mom. i'm a horrible gift shopper though. haha
SvarSletti love the ripping of off the wrappers. i like buying for the people i love too.

SvarSlettI love these photos and this post - so so sweet! Your mom is a real gem :) So true, there's something very special about giving gifts (I love to make personalized jewelry for girlfriends - love thinking of each person's own style and aesthetic :)).
SvarSlettis it possible to have your mother cloned and shipped to Belgium?

The gift and wrap can be a real reflection of the giver, can't it? One day I would like a lovely vintage cupboard to store gifts, wrapping paper, ribbon, tags and all the bits and pieces that go with it! Enjoy! X
SvarSlettso sweet! And I agree there is something so nice about giving gifts to friends and family....and I remember growing up my sister and I used to sit down and wrap all the gifts together. It's those traditions I remember so fondly!! Have a wonderful weekend.
SvarSlettthat's an amazing hobby, signe.
SvarSlettbeautiful pictures as always!

SvarSlettawww what a cute mom!
SvarSlettxo
such pretty packaging! i love the idea of wrapping gifts in paper and twine verses the typical holiday paper:) so inspirational, my friend!
SvarSlettThe one thing i most like when i give a present to somebody is to see their expression.The feeling i get to see them happy because of my gift is just...precious! A wonderful trait this is:)
SvarSlettHey! I love that wrapping. Good choice!
SvarSlettxoxo,
Dreaming of Palm Trees
