Efficient Christmas Shopping

I tend to procrastinate on things that I am not good at. One of them is buying Christmas gifts for friends and colleagues. I have never prided creativity as my forte and I prefer to get pragmatic gifts, so usually food and towel sets rank high on my preferred gift choice.

This is the first time that I have bought all the gifts in a single shopping trip. As it was still about 3 weeks before Christmas, the popular Takashimaya departmental store was still relatively crowdless. I heaved a sigh of relief as I have never been one comfortable in crowds.

This year, I have decided to get flora teas for my better female colleagues. I have gotten photo frames for another colleague and a friend. Hopefully, these practical gifts would bring smiles to my friends' faces.
