how can I say "I love you so much and miss you and care about you all the time" with a gift? I'd sometimes rather just tell the people I care about that I care about them. Give them a hug, and a small token of my love, a little pocket reminder that I'm here for them. I don't want to have to dig through stores and find something they'll really like for a month or so and then toss away. I don't want to contribute to useless spending to tell people I care about them. I think maybe it'll say more if I don't do those things, don't spend hours in stores looking for some chotchkey item, maybe if I spend some leisurely time wandering the stores in my neighborhood (if i ever had time to!) I'd find something really cool, I think that's the case at least. I want to find some awesome customized gifts for people something that's of my new home, something that is part of me and them and shows my appreciation outside of immense commercial spending.
I want to be sitting on the couch between mom and dad with a blanket and some wine watching some dumb reality show and laughing about it all. I have been really homesick lately.
