Since about October I been sending a mug to my parents house for Christmas from my cafepress.com site where you can put your art and photos on mugs, shits, mousepads ect.
What makes cafepress different is they take checks or M.O. The other sites want credit cards.
So each month I pick out my kaleidoscope and sent a mug, first my dad, then my mom. When my moms mug arrived at the house, my dad thought it was my brothers so he gave it to my brother, who open it before my mom ever knew. I had picked the kaleidoscope for my mom of dog faces, my brother dont like dogs he likes cats.
Any way my mom said just send her the one with cats, so I did.
Everyone was happy, my brother like his mug with the dog so that all that counts.
So remember give gifts from yourself, they mean the most than a big gift that cost a lot of money you cant afford.
