Okay, so here's the truth of the matter: I love buying presents for people.

I love giving people stuff that suits them. I love taking the time to grab stuff that says, "This is for X!" where X is someone I know and am fond of. I love feeling like a svelter, more attractive version of Santa Claus and making everyone I know really, really happy to know that someone thought of them. I love these things even more than getting stuff (and I love getting cool stuff).

Of course, the other side of buying stuff for everyone I know is that it would require a HUGE amount of money, especially since I started freelancing and the number of friends and people I would love to get stuff for expanded exponentially. With this in mind, I wish to start a new tradition: the virtual Christmas gift.

Here's how this is going to work. If you would like a virtual present, post here and let me know. Naturally, if I don't know you well, it won't be quite as cool a gift, whereas if I know you I'll see if I can find something uber-perfect. I'll post a link to the website with the item in question and/or a picture thereof. This will then be what I would have gotten for you had I the money to do so. :) And, of course, the best thing about virtual presents is that there's no shipping, no lines to stand in, and no guilt! Presents Away!!!
