Increasingly, I dislike gift registries. It's not because I feel stingy. It's because registries seem to remove creativity from gift-giving.
An engaged couple, for example, selects gifts from a specific store and then lets friends and family know where they can shop for them. Just doesn't seem right to me.
So, I'm applying creativity to my gift-giving this week. I'm heading to a baby shower today, and I'm taking a hand-knitted baby blanket (my first!) and an original poem I composed for the baby. Now, I don't know if the mother-to-be will like the blanket and the poem as much as say, a diaper genie, but I hope she will.

Consider ways you can be creative in your gift-giving. Can you make something?
Until next time...
