It's win win....plus it eases my anxiety when I shop because I see so many good deals, this way, I don't mind stocking up and going overboard just a bit. I hope too that they learn it's better to give than receive. <br /><br />Glad you won the crockpot you wanted and I also like it when a good cause is helped.<br /><br />YHFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-88910211234991853462016-02-15T14:38:54.100-08:002016-02-15T14:38:54.100-08:00YHF what a wonderful lesson you are imparting.

I'm going to keep this suggestion in mind for the future.<br /> I like others show my " love languages" and gratitude with consumables ( first choice) or gifts generated at home. Plants and herbs repotted. Meals and baking. Knit or mended items are all my first "Go To's" <br />Recently I bid on a " silent auction" prize of a programable crock pot. The money raised at the charity was for one close to me. I specifically put a majority of my tickets in this box as I had this in mind for a gift to give. I was delighted to win( if I hadn't the money was going to a good cause:).TGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844081721447489856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-35962069663599679762016-02-15T12:49:17.415-08:002016-02-15T12:49:17.415-08:00That is a lovely gift idea.

I am at the point in life that I don't need any more "stuff" so gifts that are consumable or renewable (like the bulbs) are a fantastic gifts!Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-37553874827754809142016-02-15T10:43:02.136-08:002016-02-15T10:43:02.136-08:00Such a lovely arrangement of bulbs in a larger pot...Such a lovely arrangement of bulbs in a larger pot. I love those colorful mixed flower plants sold at garden shops. It's true, watching the bulbs grow is a gift that keeps on giving.<br /><br />Yesterday, I wanted to show my appreciation to the oldest of the three grandsons who are staying over. He voluntarily did such a good job keeping track of their tablet use and book reading time (the agreement was 10 minutes reading for 50 minutes of tablet, went generous since they hardly get to play at home, so they said.) I asked him, what would he like and he said those prizes which I offered before as incentives for winning. Instead of buying toys (they have too many) or money, I have been offering household supplies like dish towels, Ziploc containers, kitchen utensils, toothpaste, etc as gifts for their mommy. So my gift becomes their gift. Plus, I hoped they will take interest in household goods, instead of not paying any attention when they go shopping. This way they see the prizes they won being used and feel like they are helping the family. So glad to have heard our grandson say he would want more gifts to give his mom as his reward.<br /><br />YHFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-61565949839649467302016-02-15T07:45:54.878-08:002016-02-15T07:45:54.878-08:00Such a nice gift, Lili.

As a matter of fact, a dear older friend of mine (about my mom's age) brought by a similar pot of paperwhites just getting ready to bloom for my Christmas Eve birthday. I enjoyed those for weeks, and now will plant the bulbs outside to enjoy in future years. So this kind of thing is the gift that keeps on giving. :) Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396716408304381802noreply@blogger.com
