pickle presents

This is a tradition a friend started. The name comes from her childhood. It refers to presents that have been hyped, but turn out to be a big let down in the end. The present that started this tradition turned out to be an actual pickle - and thus the name.

Really they are just silly things. A few years back she picked a person and sent a box of pickle presents for the holiday season. The idea is to wrap up 25 of them in an advent sort of way.

I decided to join in the fun this year, and have been working on mine, but realize I need to get cracking. The goal is to have the package arrive by the first of December, and since I will be out of town then, it means I need to finish it before I leave.

I hope the recipient appreciates the end result. In this case it really is the thought that counts.
