www.webdesignhot.com Let me start by saying that I really do not like Christmas,  I find it stressful and depressing.  I know a lot of other people do too.  My main problems with Christmas is, that giving someone a present has become more important than the thought behind choosing the gift.   2 Main Christmas gift idea's Perfumed gifts: I am allergic to perfumed products everything from laundry detergent to show gel.   Food gifts: I have IBS and I'm lactose and yeast intolerant.

Yes I have mental health problems, at those times of the year I start missing the people that are no longer with us. However that's a normal reaction that most everyone has, when they've lost someone close to them.     Gift Idea's: Flower's bouquet of flowers or the simple  gift of some p o tted herbs make a great present.   One of my favourite gifts was the present of some garden pots of plants that my dad had grown and potted himself.  Knowing that gardening isn't really one of my talents What really depresses me is getting presents.  Or to be more precise getting presents, that I can't actually use.   Gift Idea's: For women  Candles, scented perfu...
