I worry that I'm not good at giving gifts. I want find the perfect gift. I want the receiver of the gift to smile and smile. I also don't want to find myself in the position where someone gives me a gift but I don't have a gift for him or her. That's the worst.

Anyhow gift giving produces a little bit of anxiety in me. Over the years I've gotten better and better at it. 

This year was no different. I participated in a couple of different gift exchanges/secret santas. I found some gifts for friends and family and I tried to buy all of Vienna recently. The gift ratio there--4 gifts for me 1 for other people. Ops.

Then I broke my hand. This didn't impeed my ability to buy gifts. Just to wrap them.

Most gifts I wrestled into gift bags. 

But there was one gift that I didn't have a big enough bag for. Turns out I didn't have enough wrapping paper either. Ha, ha.

This didn't stop me.

For what it's worth I should point out that it does look better from one side than the other. Also the lined paper is red and green. Really that's got to count for something.

Please do note that I wrapped the gift one handed given my broken hand. I also used liberal amount of tape.
