I Have a Present-Buying Headache

Little Sister's birthday is on Saturday. I have no clue what to get her. The last few years we had a great arrangement. She'd buy herself something for her birthday, I'd buy myself something for mine, we'd say they were from each other and everyone got what they wanted and we were all happy. Not sure why that didn't happen this year.

My problem with buying presents for other people is that I always end up picking out stuff that I like. Then I want to keep it. I have trouble thinking of what other people might want. Especially stuff that's not books. I can find the perfect book for any person. Unfortunately a lot of people I know just aren't that into reading. What is wrong with them?

Sooo, I couldn't think of any one great big thing to buy Little Sister. Instead, I got her a bunch of smallish things that I think she'd like (I'd like them.) If she doesn't like them, I hope she lies and says she does.

Next: Father's Day. I have one small present I've been saving for a few months. Nothing special, but I think it's neat. And I made a photo cd with pictures from the house and the dog and the cats. It's kind of like a scrapbook for the computer. I put a lot of thought and time into it - he'd better appreciate it!

Next Next: Bestest Friend/Co-Worker has a birthday coming up. Last year for my birthday she stole a glass for me from our favorite bar. How am I going to top that?
