My small circle of the family exchange gifts. We have taken the magic out and just given lists. We have even fine tuned it so that we send pictures and links to show the gift giver exactly what we want. No surprises. Except there is an occasional surprise and always one that brings out a good laugh.
This is a time for us to browse and just pick things that we usually would not buy for ourselves or some items we can never seem to remember to get.
Included in my list, I chose a cell phone charger organizer. At one time or another the family that stays over usually needs to charge their electronics at some point during their stay. Cords and chargers often get left behind as they usually pick an electrical outlet located behind a couch, stand or chair.
I came across the above item. This is definitely a gift you would not want to give cat owners. My cats would either a) try to eat the grass or (worse) b) pee in it. Probably both.
As I was browsing Amazon for possible selections, I checked the technical details of the one pictured above. I think they have the wrong product.

By the way, my fog lifted as soon as I published yesterday's post. Just writing that stuff down seemed to purge it out of me and I was pretty good the rest of the day.
Some minor aches this morning, but nothing like yesterday. Perhaps I can put off seeing the doctor for another month or two. ;)
Well, the fog lifted until my cats knocked something over just before I started this post and when I turned to see what happened, I spilled my coffee. It is nice to know that if I ever need to, I can use coffee to clean my wood floor. It gives it a nice, shiny sheen. Groan.

So glad that you are back to a rosy hue. Nothing worse than not feeling up to par during the holidays. I think that I should by myself that gift! Great idea.
My family does lists too. I don't see the adventure in it; everybody knows what they're going to get.
My wife and I have reached the point where she just comes home and tells me what I just bought her for Christmas. Yes, it takes the magic out. On the other hand, it reduces the stress level considerably.
Personally, when we start lists, it's time to quit the adult giving and focus on your own children, if you have any at home. We'll do for the grand kids that live in town and if we go visit others we'll take something for the kids, otherwise tough luck. In my opinion, Christmas is for kids, period.
