"  Gift-o-nista- (noun) one who lives, breathes, eats and sleeps gift giving. Meet CG&amp;#039;s intern and gift-o-nista Kasia, and her gift giving soloution. I&amp;#039;m a self-diagnosed gift-o-nistas. Some may call this a problem, but I personally believe that great gift-giving is her ultimate destiny. That been said, my destiny this year was very much complicated. You see, I am officially in a relationship that (as luck may have it) has decided to last up until Christmas (knock-on-wood) and as any gift-o-nista may know, under these circumstances my duties to the world (of gift giving) have become a bit more serious. However, instead of sweating, panicking and nibbling on my perfectly manicured O.P.I. (Katy Perry Teenage Dream) nails, I did what any gift-o-nista would do in my situation. Sat down with my Starbucks (hello- holiday flavors!) and brainstormed. Voila! I don&amp;#039;t know if it was the ginger-bread spice, or the jingle-bells in the background, but a miraculous gift vision appeared to me. It was the ultimate in gift-giving, an idea that combined the three most critical qualities of gifting: thought, effort and time!
