Traditionalist or Fuddy Duddy?

Over these last several weeks I had been ask to several events where bringing gifts was implied.  At the bridal shower there were gifts of candles, fancy serving dishes and gift cards.  My gift was a set of crocheted pot holders, a crocheted scrubby, several hand towels that could be buttoned onto a drawer pull and an embroidered dish towel.  At the great grandson’s first birthday today there were a bazillion toys requiring batteries and toys to push and toys to pull.  My gift was a large bath towel that I had sewn into a hooded bath towel using a wash cloth sewn into one of the corners.

Traditionalist or fuddy duddy?  Perhaps neither.  I fancy giving gifts of utility.
