6 Tips for Perfect Gifts

View in Browser Find Fabulous Gifts | | Welcome to Week 3!  I hope you had a terrific holiday weekend. I’m Mary, your new coach for the week. I am a copywriter with a marketing firm in Seattle and also a regular contributor to Shelterrific.com! I’m also the youngest of nine children and admirer of our marvelous mom who made our family holiday seasons run like a well-oiled ham, I mean, machine. She made Christmas meaningful. It was never commercial; it was magical. We spent time together, made cookies, decorated the tree, and listened to holiday music from all eras (my current collection includes songs by Jim Nabors, Cary Grant, and Fleming and John). One of the ways my mom made the holidays special was by celebrating St. Nicholas Day, which takes place tomorrow! If you’re curious about a fun way to start a new tradition, learn more here. In the meantime, I’ll give you some fresh ideas for a new holiday tradition – Cyber Monday.
