My Dad used to keep a stash of emergency gifts on hand, which is such a great idea! I can’t tell you how many times that stash of gifts came in handy, and everyone always loved them – especially the nuts! Just like my Dad, I keep a variety of edible gifts on hand, but I also love giving fragrances.

She would very carefully (and slowly) unwrap her gifts so as to be able to preserve the paper. She also scarfed up any other gift wrap that looked usable, and she stored it carefully away for use the next year.
