I loved this! I miss retail. I don't think it gets enough credit for both how hard it can be - always makes me laugh when people say they want to drop their stressful job for something easy like barista or a supermarket - and how rewarding it can be. My favourite ever job was working for a certain chain bookstore :-) I think it's partly because I'm quite shy but in the shop environment find it much easier to interact with people. Also you don't have to sit still :-)

This read like a list poem of female friendship + gift buying+ gratitude. Delighted to add I need to go to OB to buy my sister in law and two close friends their gifts too 💝
