This is going to be the Year of the Strangest Gifts. I got a hatbox from a friend. A cardboard hatbox with a bottle of wine photo motif. I opened the box thinking it contained a gift inside - it did - another hat box with the same photo on it. A total of three hat boxes. And the same day I gave my hairdresser a box of biscotti and an extra tip, he gave me an African Wood Carved oblisk thing I don't know what to do with. Too bad I don't have any parties where we're playing the White Elephant Game this Christmas.
