In recent years I've been surprised by folks bringing me a gift and me not having anything to give them in return. Yes, I know its not necessary, but there's something inside me that insists that is just not OK. I do my best to think of everyone I will be seeing and want to have a gift for, but inevitably someone unexpected shows up on our doorstep.
Does anyone here have a stash of "back up" gifts just in case? I have put together some pretty jars with brownie mix, and some with nuts and bolts this year. I've also got some lovely scented bath salts that I made. I'm going to buy ribbon and make them pretty today. Someone told me she buys several packages of iTunes gift cards to have on hand. I wanted to have some pretty packages of homemade soap made, but have had some issues getting the ingredients. That's next years goal.
What do you do?
