I bought my sister a present

My bank account is looking healthy lately which is always a good thing. I was browsing around online last weekend looking to see if there were any fun treats that I wanted. I checked the LUSH website. LUSH is a bath/personal care company that makes all natural products with as few preservatives and as little packaging as possible. I've been a fan for like 15 years. Their prices are NOT cheap so I've bought a lot less over the years but I do still check the site every other month or so. I didn't see anything new that I wanted to try. Well I did see 2 things--LUSH advent calendars! The "cheaper" one is $190 and the pricier one is $315. I couldn't justify buying one for myself but I did order the less-expensive one for my sister. Last year I sent her a Penzey's advent calendar. (again I really wanted to get it for me but my spice cabinet is overflowing) She sent me a picture of the box that was delivered today and said that it smelled so good. She is really excited about it which, well, is the whole point. I will be interested to see what/if she shares some of the stuff with my niece who is 11.

What a great present! And very thoughtful. I just got through talking to my sister yesterday about me getting advent calendars for the kids again. She asked me not to. She said it just takes time out of their already busy day, and she’d appreciate it if I didn’t get them one anymore. Uh, okay….

@NJChicaa I thought so too, but maybe I just don’t understand.

Thanks for reminding me about the Penskys folks. I just looked at their site and was impressed.

@NJChicaa I read his (sad) take on Republicans. Quite astute.

I've bought presents for others before today which was stuff I really liked but couldn't justify buying for myself.

What a wonderful gift to help celebrate Christmas, I bet she loves it. I miss my sister so much. She and I were so much alike, and she was both a wonderful sister and a friend as well to me. One of my aunts liked Lush products, and she gifted me some one year. Very nice stuff!
