Not being able to browse in stores this holiday season means I have been spending a lot of time browsing online. I cruised some gift guides, and started feeling paranoid. Everything being recommended to me was so blah! I couldn’t help thinking that I wouldn’t like to be on the receiving end of so many redundant gizmos, bound to end up in a landfill at the end of their lifespan. I guess I feel this way when I go to the mall too. Everything comes around in the end.
My birthday is two days before Christmas, and I charged myself with doing my own birthday shopping this year. I thought I’d share some of the things that showed up on my own wishlist, because some of you might like them too. I really just wanted to share some stuff I thought was cool, as well as some great small businesses to support. Until recently I hadn’t known about the restoration of a psychedelic Hungarian animation from 1981, and I wish I had sooner. Also, I didn’t know what an Enchanted Broccoli Forest was!! So now I am telling you. Hope you enjoy.
