When it comes to gifts there are those who are all about the giving, those that prefer to be on the receiving end and those that fall somewhere in the middle. I'm one of those in the middle. I love nothing more than finding the most perfect gift to bestow upon a family member or dear friend. That moment when you hand them that bow topped box is full of excitement and anticipation. You can't help but be anxious and wonder if they will love the gift as much as you thought they would. While I truly believe that it is better to give than to receive, I'd be lying if I said there weren't moments when I prefer to be the one tearing the paper off a beautifully wrapped box. My dad, however, is definitely all about the giving and he's pretty damn good at it. He has this knack for giving me something that I've wanted my entire life or giving me something that I never even knew I wanted my entire life. So when he told me to expect a delivery from UPS I was intrigued. Last year he sent me "Toasted Notes" and another delivery yielded Jessica Kagan Cushman bracelets so as you can see I never know what to expect from him. On Friday night I came home to a rather large box from Williams-Sonoma and knew right away what was inside...
LE CREUSET COOKWARE!
I was slightly alarmed by the outside of the box. My dad is color blind and I was worried that he confused orange with aubergine. My worries disappeared when I discovered that the boxes held the gorgeous aubergine pieces I blogged about not too long ago. I'm currently reorganization my kitchen so these pieces can be properly displayed. Check back later for pictures and for my recipe for Vegan "Beef" Stew. Thanks Dad!!
Wow!! Jealous!!
You take after your dad when it comes to gift giving! You pay attention and you're so thoughtful!
