My Sister-in-law, who's into mysticism (which I'm obviously not) gave me a t-shirt for Christmas I absolutely love. [View all]

It's this one:

My sister-in-law always goes out of her way to find something I'll really like.

Some years ago, she gave me a tee with the periodic table reading "I wear this shirt periodically."

Acknowledging who she is, we gave her cat themed Tarot cards.

Love is about tolerance, and I love that my Sister-in-law looks out for who I am when choosing gifts, just as we look out for who she is when we choose.

Well, that seemed like the safest guess -- but still, a book of origami for cats might be interesting. eppur_se_muova Dec 28 #31
