Anna, Your friend must have known your taste well if she picked a scarf and pin to match your coat. I like the idea of pins to match so will watch for those to go on sale or clearance.
Roberta, I have to keep somebody or groups in mind when I buy "future" gifts, otherwise I end up with things in my stash that I never get around to giving. About three years ago I bought several small boxes of costume jewelry of necklaces and earrings at an after Christmas clearance sale and only gave two of them away as gifts. After three years I finally ended up donating the others to an auction that raises money to make "Prayer Shawls" for people who are terminally ill so they did end up going to a good cause.
