I’ve regifted and proud of it! I’m giving the gift of a futre regift to that person LOL.

This Christmas the husband and I are making each other things that are thoughtful, something we actually want or need and as close to free as we can get. In the victorian days christmas was all about making thoughtful gifts and gathering your decorations for your house from the nature around you and if movies have tought me anything, it’s that the victorians could make something good out of any situation.

Why not simplify?

Shoot I forgot about the dial up. Its a really great clip. Basically its just about how unsustainable the whole consumerism cycle is and how it isn’t really a cycle. How both the earth and people are exploited. In really great layman’s terms.

Re-gift is the way to go! Either that or charity shops, one mans tacky is another beautiful object de art!
I would love to watch the link but..dial up..meh!
Sounds very cool though.
Of course you have to remember that so much of the “trashy” stuff is often made in thrid world countries in sweat shops or using child labour.
EDUCATE YOUR FAMILY!!!
Its the only way to let people know that less is most definitly more over Xmas .xx
