I noticed on Christmas how well my brothers, actually my parents too, really know me.
One of the things my parents got me was a deep fryer. Ive been wanting one for at least the past year. One of my brothers and his girlfriend got me a "All Edges" brownie pan. This isn't like a "Perfect Brownie" pan like the ones you see on TV. I already have one of those and it doesn't work the greatest. There is one online that does this snake like thing so its one continuous piece of brownie...but this pan isn't like that one either. The pan has 3 individual columns. So I could make 3 styles of brownies in one pan all at once and they'll be the edges just like people like!!
My other brother and his wife got me 2 books. I love to read. One is a cake decorating book that had beginner to expert techniques. Its like a teach yourself book. It'll be really handy for when I start trying to do flowers and other decorations like that on a cake. The other book they got me is The Fault in our Stars by John Green. I had never even heard of the book or author before. As I opened it my brother was explaining to me that they were turning it into a movie too, I hadn't heard of the movie either. It sat on a table in my living room for a couple days, I'm a little weary about trying books I didn't personally pick out. I think books and clothes are some of the most risky things to gift to someone. But after about 5 days I picked it up and read the first chapter. I didn't want to put it down but I was feeling tired, so I did. A few days later I picked it back up and was reading for 4 or 5 hours, until my stomach was louder than my thoughts. I'm falling absolutely in love with this book.
I don't think either of my brothers could've picked out better gifts for me.
