I like this idea but am irrationally annoyed that they have sought out a response to this from professional-mummy bloggers. Who are these people? No-one's seeking my opinion on it and though I'm giving it here almost no-one is going to read it. I'll read it back in years to come though, that's the point.
I am going to start my own version of this, luckily Clare wants clothes, needs clothes, and obviously they fit into category three too. So a hat and a book and she's sorted. The boys are trickier as Clare has already flooded them with gifts.
For myself it is more don't want, don't need, will wear, and do like to read. I mostly like books second hand though really, I'm rubbish at receiving gifts. It's good that I get clothes as gifts, otherwise I'd be wrapping myself in that brown packing paper that Amazon send out, I don't buy clothes for myself.
Will report back on if I get more than four gifts this year and what category they fit into.
