DeleteI haven't read 1,00 Gifts and I think I would use the gift card to buy gloves and a scarf for this winter season (I know it is practical, but it is definitely needed because of this harsh cold snap that is happening where I live).
ReplyDeleteit's been cold where I live too, so i can definitely relate to needing a warm scarf and gloves :)
