Rainy Day Shopping

 

 

Yesterday, I decided to go to Cardiff to start my Christmas shopping.  I did most of it.  I only have two more presents to buy, something for my uncle and mother.

 

 

I browsed around many shops.  But I spent most of my time in a shop called T.K. Maxx.  My uncle said it was one of his favourite shops.  Apparently, he hasbought many birthday and Christmas presents from the store.

 

 

I walked in and let out a big sigh.  All I could see was shelves of this, racks of that.  My initial reaction was “Oh My God, will I actually find anything here?”

 

 

But undaunted I made my way into the store.  I was determined this Christmas shopping was going to be done today.   I looked at this and that there was so much to choose from I hardly knew where to start!  This year, I was given no hints either – so that made the task even more difficult.

 

 

You can pick up some good bargains if you look in the right places.  All you need is a little bit of patience!

 

 

I have discovered you need plenty of that when you shopping for Christmas presents.  It is hard to think what the person would like.  That gives me a big headache, but all the agonising decisions are worth it when you see the person’s smile as they open your present on Christmas morning.

    Glad you got most of your shopping done. I've still got a bit left to do myself.  I never thought to look in T.K. Maxx.  It not one of my favourite stores.. I'm not even sure if they have one locally.  I know they have one in Wolverhampton.
    I think everyone has been stuck for ideas for present buying this year.
    Take care Leigh
