Too late, LJ, too late

[oloriel]

So whose bright idea was it to put diygifts on LJ spotlight... IN THE LAST FEW DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS?

I don't know about you, but I am desperately trying to come up with cheap and easy but awesome DIY Christmas gift ideas throughout November and the first weeks of December, and will hopefully done with it by the fourth Advent Sunday.

Of course I am not - that is, mostly I am, but two people are not getting the awesome things I wish I had, and now I go and see this community. And they have various quite useful ideas of various kinds, I mean srsly. Yeees, I know I could have bought those Bath Bombs at LUSH. Or, you know, just bought a cute tote bag for my mom. But the DIY bit is actually quite important, not to mention so much cheaper

Meh.

Two weeks - even one week ago - I could really have used this.

Now I have lots of awesome ideas.
Tomorrow I must go to work. And clean the house some more (though the living-room is done already! Yay! Except for the tree. But in Communist Protestant Bergia you don't decorate your tree before Christmas Eve Eve anyway, so it's totally ok that the Tree is currently dripping snow in the hallway.

Seriously. When do you need gift ideas? A few weeks before Christmas so you can still put them into practice. When are they too late? A few days before Christmas.

The one time that there's actually a worthwhile community on that stupid Spotlight function and it's too late.

Well, good for all the Japanese who celebrate New Year's anyway. :p

Eh well, at least now I have a lot of good ideas for next year.

Bei Handmade hatte ich sogar reingeschaut, aber da hatte ich "damals" nix gefunden, hauptsächlich nur Fragen von wegen "Ich suche ein Geschenk für..., ich kann..., ich zahle...", das nützte mir ja nichts. Vielleicht hätt ich dranbleiben sollen ;)

Well, I suppose there's still Little Christmas to get through.

Not really. All our big family get-togethers and gift exchanges are going to happen in the next four days, so being capable to have everything finished by Epiphany is no help at all...
