I always look forward to the challenge that will be offered each and every month in the Rain! The challenge for December will be beneficial for me since I always have a hard time figuring out what gifts I should buy for those that I care most about whether it be for a birthday, Christmas, or some other occasion. Once in a while, I come across something that I see that calls out to me as something that someone in my life would really enjoy and I purchase it and save it for them for Christmas or a birthday, but that is rare, haha.

 

Since my immediate family is filled with University of Arizona fans, my go-to has most often been buying gear or memorabilia for each and every family member. I enjoy doing this since I often get myself a few new items as well, haha.

I have received so many memorable gifts over the years and I love most the ones that I get to see or use on a daily basis. One that comes to mind that I have treasured over the years is a gift that buyer clients of mine gave me after I helped them purchase their first home. They got me this Yeti bottle to keep in my car and I use it each and every day! They got it for me because they noticed I was always sharing bottles of water with them when we were out and about looking at the different prospective homes for them to buy. They felt that the plastic bottles of water weren't the best, so they got the bottle pictured for me to use and I fully agree that it has been way better than the plastic bottles that I used to drink from and have to replenish often by buying cases at the store. It didn't come with the University of Arizona sticker on it, I added that myself, haha.

Brian England,

Thanks for your entry. I like that you shop during the year as you find suitable items for others and then keep them for the right occasion.

Good evening Brian,

Wow..you were on it and might be the first entry into the December Challenge. You have a good idea for the sport fans in your family! Team branded gifts are always a welcome gift.

Loved your post Brian England  I never have any issues with my gift giving, they are all based on knowing the people I give gifts to... readers get books, cooks get something to do with cooking... and then there are others who like wine so depending what they like I know what to get them... now with that said hope you will have an easier time to give gifts, Endre

Even with me doing that from time to time Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 I need to get better at it so that I am not having to do a lot of last-minute shopping, haha.

Wine is always a really good gift Endre Barath, Jr. and I see it being very popular at white elephant events, haha.

Hi Brian, It is nice when our clients give us a thoughtful gift when it is supposed to be the other way around!

So true Nina Hollander, Broker and I always enjoy receiving something that I will use rather than something that will just sit around and gather dust, haha.

Useful gifts are important, Brian! I still use the bottle opener you gave me at the Spring Silobration when we travel.

Hi Brian,

Your client's gift was thoughtful and practical.

I always keep multiple water bottles with me, and sometimes by the end of the day, the water in them transforms into an exciting 'crazy red water' when poured into a glass, haha! 🍷

I love hearing that Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! and I used to use it as a key chain when I still carried around keys, haha.

It sounds like Jesus was visiting your home in the evenings Aura Alex and turning the water into wine!!!

I am a huge fan of giving AND receiving Yetis Brian! It's awesome to be showing homes all day and still have ice in your cup at the end of the day, isn't it? 

Great idea to share in this challenge!

Yes, I love that Debe Maxwell, CRS especially in Arizona where a drink left in the car during the summer months would be too hot to drink without one, haha.

Hi Brian:

I think that buying a gift for someone when you see it and saving it for sharing at the appropriate time makes lots of sense. As does that Yeti water bottle for use in the car.

I am not surprised that you invest the time to give gifts that have meaning for the recipients.  Also keeping a treasured received gift speaks to your high ethics. A good entry for this month.
