“Short on time” – that has been my tagline for 2021.
I am not proud of this, there is simply no denying it.
In this last month, I finally felt like I was turning the corner. My Christmas preparation was moving along at a nice clip. Yet, here I am two days before Christmas with items remaining on my to do list.
Once again, I find myself, short on time.
I have two attributes working in my favor. I am resourceful (because it sounds better than desperate) and focused (because it sounds better than neurotic).
My to-do list has several items that are partially complete, stocking stuffers are one such line item. Small gifts for each family member reside in an Amazon box behind the coats in my closet. I have collected items over several months from various stores, each one is something that I am excited about. I don’t want to add gifts for the sake of adding gifts, but I would like to pick up a few more items, but I’m short on time.
As I was driving home, a solution struck me – the drug store. Given its small physical footprint, variety of merchandise, and relatively few shoppers, the drug store was an excellent option. There were plenty of options.
In case you too are finding yourself short on time, and looking for stocking stuffers, have a look at the following list I compiled during my quick tour of the store.
