Just When You Thought It Was Over……

Just when you thought you were done shopping, another holiday rears its ugly little face. You know what I’m talking about. And if you don’t, I’m referring to the incessant stream of holidays that requires you to buy a gift. It seems like it’s always someone’s birthday or anniversary or mother’s day and in this case, Father’s Day is right around the corner. When does it end? Never because it’s a vicious cycle that goes on and on.

No sooner did we just celebrate Mother’s Day and now it’s time for Father’s Day. And this is only if you’re lucky enough to not have some jacka@% friend or relative have a birthday in the interim. God help you if your anniversary falls between M-Day and F-Day. And as if there weren’t enough gift-giving occasions, these gifts seem to get more expensive every year. Haven’t you ever thought to yourself, “Well last year I spent x amount of dollars so this year I should spend x+y amount of dollars.”

Who created this never ending stream of mandatory purchases? It’s total doggy doo doo, that’s what it is. But what choice do we have? The alternative would be to show up to a birthday party without a gift. You’re probably thinking to yourself, “That’s no big deal, my friends and family love me. They don’t care whether I bring a gift or not, I’m here and that’s all that matters!” So with that thought in mind, once again, you show up to another party without a gift, only this time it’s your parent’s anniversary party instead of some insignificant cousin’s birthday. Now you’ve done it. You don’t know this yet but you’re official title now is cheapo and the person who doesn’t bring gifts and your friends and family are now secretly talking about you behind your back. And chances are, the invites are going to stop coming and the only way you’re invited to a party now is if some family member accidentally leaks it out at a family gathering. Now is this any way to live? Who wants to be an outcast with friends and family? That MIGHT be worse than the continual poverty.

So what hope is there? Shoes, that’s right, shoes. I don’t know a single man or woman who isn’t constantly in need of more gosh darn shoes and fortunately, at Bootbarn.com, shoes aren’t all that expensive. So remember, the next time it’s someone’s birthday and you think to yourself, “Oh crap, I have to buy, I mean, Oh yay! I want to buy a gift for so and so,” just go to Bootbarn.com for all your shoe needs. And in case you weren’t paying attention, remember, we have way more than just cowboy boots!
