Shopping for Unique Holiday Presents

My name is Sandra Williams, and I love to shop! I especially enjoy shopping for holiday gifts. I know there are many people who don’t share this passion of mine, especially around the holidays when stores are crowded, and the pressure is on. I try to divide my shopping up between supporting local stores and shopping online. It’s easier to stay in my warm home and shop online, but I know how important it is to support our local businesses. Small local businesses tend to have some great gifts too. I enjoy going into boutiques and seeing what unique gift items I can come up with. The one thing I always try to do is purchase something that I feel confident the recipient will love. This means spending time putting thought into the gifts I buy. I hope to share some useful gift buying tips with you in my blog.
