Weekends Away: Gift-Giving Advice
Congratulations Archives
Way to Go!
Her eyes are closed. Her breath is bated. She's gripping the zipper pull on the fly of her favorite jeans in anticipation of its long-awaited journey. She counts to three (1, 2, 2-1/2, 2-3/8, 2-7/15 ...) — and then ... up ... up ... UP IT GOES! Without stopping! And not only that, but without the jerks and spasms she'd encountered one week ago today, when she stood in her bedroom doing the same exact thing at 6:42 a.m.
They fit! The jeans she HATES referring to as "my skinny jeans" fit! And not only that, but they fit in a way that she can actually be seen in public wearing them — without a sweater tied around her hips or a jacket to hide her behind behind! Not like three weeks ago when she tried to convince herself they were fine and that she would just have to back out of rooms rather than let anyone see the rear view.
To many people, this may seem like a pretty skimpy excuse to celebrate, but the two of you? Well, you can't think of a better reason for her to whoop it up. But why blow it all and sabotage her wonderful weight loss by taking her out to dinner, where the bread basket beckons? She deserves a unique gift, something as tailored to her as those "skinny jeans" now appear.
A travel Visa gift card is always fitting, and will give her the freedom to treat herself to whatever her heart desires (including jeans that now she can just call "jeans", without having to make the "skinny" differentiation). Ahhh, yes. Now this is truly worth the weight!
