Sure, the best things in life are free. But if you don’t get peace, love, and understanding this holiday season, how about a pair of diamond earrings and two weeks on the Great Barrier Reef?
Best gift you’ve ever received?
The clay hand imprints my kids made when they were four and eight years old. And a gold heart necklace from my parents. My mom said she picked it out to remind me that children are always tied to their parents’ heartstrings.
What is on your gift wish list?
The two “V”s: a vacuum cleaner and a video camera. Boring, I know, but I really need them. Hope my husband is reading this!
What’s your most memorable re-gifting experience?
What? Me, re-gift?
Toughest person on your list to buy for?
My husband. He has very specific likes, so I can’t just pick out a generic tie or shirt. And he loves Prada shoes, which is tough for me because I think that shop is way too stuffy.
What will you get him?
Prada shoes.
