[Claire Bear]

I'm about a third of the way done with my shopping. I got my little sister a locally published cookbook that's proceeds go to the local women's shelter. Sister likes to cook, sister went to school in this same town, and sister is a feminist so it's really a perfect gift for her.

I got her and my mom (and myself) each a necklace a friend of mine made, and got my boyfriend some beard oil that my photo teacher/boss makes at the 'annual ceramic sale' at school (but people in the arts sell stuff that isn't ceramics lol). Gonna miss the ceramic sale when I graduate, makes my shopping a bit easier every year.

Probably gonna get my mom a candle or something, something else for boyfriend, and then I gotta do something for sister's boyfriend. I have no idea what the hell to do for my dad ever. Considering framing one of my photos for him or something, I usually get him a book and find out he's already read it. He's hard to shop for. Every year my mother and I lament that we have no idea what the hell to do for the guy. He just doesn't care about stuff. Hard to find the right stuff for a dude who couldn't care less.
