Valentine Gift Picks: Love Tokens

Better than those love coupons we’ve all gotten and given (yes, me too), this set of 10 Love Tokens is my choice to kick off our Valentine’s Day Gift Picks series! $15 at Uncommon Goods »


Merry Christmas!

The husband and I had a quiet Christmas eve. It was just the two of us, and we opened presents, had a chinese food feast, and watched Scrooge (the musical with Albert Finney), Love Actually, and It’s a Wonderful Life. My eyes are still puffy from all the crying.

To all my wonderful readers, RSS subscribers, and visitors… Merry, Merry Christmas! I hope you received everything you wished for this year, and- more importantly- are having a lovely time with friends and/or family. I am very grateful for you all!


Wrapping Stylish Gifts

Now that you’ve got all your Christmas gifts (I hope!), make sure you wrap them stylishly. I’m a strong believer in beautiful packaging- a beautifully wrapped present is always nicer to receive.

Black Friday Madness!

They say that this year, shopping sales gains will be the weakest in five years- but if you ventured out of your home to visit the shops today, you wouldn’t know it. Some people got up at 2:30 a.m. to get to their favorite stores’ special Black Friday sales as the doors opened- at 4 or 5 a.m.! Target ran out of Wiis. Deals were anywhere from 20% to 70% off some items. Stores were giving things (and money!) away for free. Oh yes, it was madness- lovely, shopaholic madness.

Me, I’ve been shopping online (of course!), checking out all the amazing Black Friday sales to be had. Naturally, I’ll be blogging about all my Thanksgiving weekend loot- but not before we hit Cyber Monday!

To all of you who downloaded Part I of my Holiday Shopping Guide, thank you! You can expect Part II to contain many more goodies- I’ll have product reviews and gift guides for your Christmas shopping. If you haven’t yet, download Part I: Black Friday and Cyber Monday now- there’s still a few days, and lots of time for shopping, shopping, and more shopping!
