I came to the realization today that I have never bought my own wallet. I have been gifted every wallet I ever had. Is there anything like that in your life?

Mostly winter gear for me. Scarves,hats, gloves. Wallets for me too. These seem like safe things to get people for Christmas etc…

For me, there are a lot of things that fall into the category of:

- Wasn't interested, but received it as a gift or hand-me-down
- Found it to be really useful
- Did some research and bought a better version

This was the pattern for many items in my home.

I'm also a wallet gift receiver, I don't think I've ever bought one myself.  Wine glasses, I have a cabinet full and every one of them was a gift.  Same with beer mugs.

Coffeemakers.   Every single one we've had has been a gift.

There are so many things like this for me.

Squatty potty.  I'm in love with it, but didn't actually purchase it.
My wallet.
I have a movie book I've been working my way through for about 18 years that was bought for me.
Many/most of my Dolphins gear has been gifted, at this point.
