A friend (Thanks, Carol) tweeted this.
“The term “must-haves” is profoundly unsettling to me.”
For those of us trying to live both frugally and thoughtfully – Yup!
I looked into the website she was responding to; it was coupons for:

We spent a lot of money on our kids this past year and they spent a lot of their own money arranging and getting to all the stuff this family did. (Wedding events and more….). It was my opinion we didn’t need to spend more cash on each other. When I mentioned this to my daughters and sister-in-law, they agreed - so we decided to just do food gifts.

Yesterday I turned 65. My birthday weekend was great; we saw all the kids and our grandbaby. The baby smiles slowly at us now. When she feels brave that we will be nice to her, she lifts her hand and waves. My socks melted.
