The independent religious bookstore is the only place you can go on an overpriced shopping spree and feel good about it.
#i was going there to get a baptism gift#(guess who gets to be godmother again!)#(those girls are going to be getting identical presents their whole life)#i went with a crucifix for the baptism present since their statues are very picked over#and the godfather already got one for her (kind of) patron saint#i also got a holy card for her definitely patron saint#and a blanket that was way too expensive but it was pink and guardian angel and also had her name#so it's like it was made for her baptism#and then there was a gorgeous nativity set advent wreath for 75% off so that's for me#plus two 75% off slightly damaged children's book versions of the christmas story#so there's a christmas present for both goddaughters#then a book about catholic motherhood for my sister-in-law since i have her for secret santa#and then i threw in an advent devotional that looks pretty good#i wasn't even trying to buy stuff it all just jumped out at me#but when you're buying from the cute friendly old lady you don't even feel bad about buying more than intended#i feel kind of bad having her wrap the crucifix for me#but also i can't turn down the nostalgic joy of having your present gift-wrapped at the shop#i think that 'gift-wrapper at department store' is one of my nostalgic obsolete dream jobs
