We’ve been mooching around the shops of Arillas throughout our holiday, but last night, after a delicious evening meal and a very acceptable cocktail or two, it was time to finally get our wallets out and partake in the purchase of a few souvenirs and considered gifts ……
…… just a few tasteful bits and pieces for our special friends, Jan The Fan and Ze Monkeys dans Germany to thank them for their kindness and thoughts over the past few months ……
……. but what to get???????
I think we all ruled out any idea of a faux fur kitten or rabbit pretty early on, as they really didn’t say heady halcyon Corfu days for us. The same also went for cross eyed owl, tortoise and donkey cruet sets.
In the end we went for a small smorgasbord of Corfuvian gifts, a pen, some soap, an evil eye and a little Greek confectionary, nothing showy or ostentatious, that’s not us.
Darrell suggested that we took some Greek bath products back home for us, something we could all enjoy in the weeks following our holiday, the romantic and exotic aromas and suds evoking happy memories as we adhere to our rigorous personal hygiene regime, it was a win win situation, which, in turn, would last far longer than any nougat or other such Greek delicacies. What are we like ……. if not incredibly clean!!!
I'm sure you made excellent choices.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Hugh is the person that is most difficult to buy for. With his London and country homes too.
I wish I had your thoughtful approach to buying gifts-I always leave it until the last minute & panic buy!

ReplyDeleteWhat are we like? you ask - if not incredibly clean? You are also thoughtful, reflective, empathetic, kind, giving and humourous. For that I am grateful every day. JantheFan x
