so I bought her something containing carats instead
Oh my, MusicMad, those are the best gifts ever.  I love things that contain carats, although my husband clutches his heart whenever I mention that we've been married over 40 years, so I should probably get a new 4 carat diamond. (Won't happen. Too pricey.) I am getting old too, but I still love opening gifts.
leagolfer, you give some nice, personal gifts.
Paul, I have twin grown-up daughters, and I too pick their gifts and put hubby's name on their gifts. He thinks I'm better at picking out clothes for them, but he does like to buy them items that have Washington State University logos on them. All three of them attended that college.
Paul, those candies looked yummy.
After Thanksgiving, I'll put a sign out in front of my house that says, "Dear Santa, I Want it ALL!"

I' m more in rituals on the Christmas days, than in giving or wishing gifts.
Since I don' t like beeing with my family, I enjoy the little rituals with my best friends.
Since 2007 Jacy and me visit my first dog Sam every late noon on 24th.
He left in summer 2007 and I got his ash on a little burial ground for animals near us in our beautiful nature. We bring him three roses with a little green and a little candle.
Then Jacy and me went for a long walk around the ground, enjoying the sunset and then seeing
all the lights from the far away houses, knowing children will now packing out their gifts.
Over the years the energy on the burial ground changed, getting to full and I took Sam back home,
scattering his ash under a very large old beech in a very peaceful little beech wood just a kilometer away from our house.
Now Jacy and me visit Sam and the old beech, enjoying sitting under it and listening to the silence and the creek floating beneath it.
Every eve of 25th I' m talking to my penfriend in Berlin on the phone for a couple of hours.
We met 23 years ago in a Starsky & Hutch letterzine and we still be friends.
... but this year I' m looking real forward to our " Weihnachts Wichteln " ( Secret Santa ) in our little
creative forum. I talked aboout it last year in one of the christmas threads.
It was so much fun, ' cause all gifts suppose to me handmade, ' cause we' re a creative forum and getting a handmade gift, which is made for you, I think, that' s really a nice one. 
I was so lucky, I got these beautiful legwarmers, which was on first on my Wichtel list.
... and theese were my gifts, which I' m very proud of and which were so much fun to do.
This blanket I' ve woven for the dog of my " Wichtel " . He gets scary sometimes, so he can get under the blanket for shelter.
This giant bolster was for my Wichtel, the colors are her favorit to fit in her living room.
This little bolster was for our forum' s chief as a surprise.
These two were for two of my best friends.
... and these two little pouches were for another friend and as a surprise to another member of the forum, who missed the
" wichteln " .
greetings
