Birthday Presents

Are you as fickle buying presents for someone else as you are shopping for yourself? Because I am. 

I read somewhere a long time ago that the presents you give away are somehow the things that you would like to have for yourself, unless, they were predetermined or requested by the recipient. If you plan to buy a wristwatch, for example, for someone whose preference you have no idea of, you will end up purchasing one that is somewhat according to your liking. Thus, giving the phrase "a gift from me to you" a deeper meaning due to the personal touch. :)

What I wore last night while scouring the mall for 2 birthday presents for today. And like I said, it's like shopping for myself.. Enjoyed it! :)

i agree! sometimes i secretly want to own the gifts i give haha but of course, that would be so selfish of me to do that. :)) Love the casual outfit :)

You look so cute!! I think beanies are adorable but I only like wearing them if it's really cold. You're right about buying presents..I usually like to buy books or chocolates because they're "safe" and everyone likes chocolates :-) xoxoxoo
