Shopping from home tonight

by

You’d never know it, but I’m shopping right now … yep, I am. The great thing is- it’s cold outside and I didn’t even have to dress for the weather. I’m doing all my shopping online tonight.

I’m trying to get a little bit of my Christmas shopping done. I’m not sure how successful I’ll be, but I do think that I found an interesting gift idea for one of my nephews. Whenever he comes over he always has his things and his laptop in a ratty old knapsack and I think it might be a good idea to get him one of these jansport backpacks I’m sure he’d love it. Yes, I might just get that for him.

Now if only I could think of what else to get for everyone else on my list! Just after Christmas I’m going to be going to see my brother and his girlfriend and I haven’t seen them for quite a while. I’d love to get them something special but I have no idea what they’d like. I know, I’ll give them a call tomorrow night and see if I can get some ideas from them – carefully of course.

How are you doing as far as buy gifts on your list goes? Are you done yet?





Finding a Father’s Day gift

by

My husband is trying to figure out what to get his father for Fathers Day. Yes I know, it’s a little bit late to be searching for a present, but not too late!

His father doesn’t have a lot of hobbies so that doesn’t help. He does love hockey though, so we might get him some hockey DVDs – like classic games and things like that.

My husbands brother was suggesting that we think about getting him a radar detector – maybe a whistler radar detector. I’m not sure if he’d use it or not. We might get it … I’ll have to check it out a bit more though. Have any of you tried using one of these? Did you like it, were you happy with it?

Have to come up with a gift idea for my brother in law

by

It’s my brother in laws birthday next week and my husband and I are busy trying to figure out just what kind of gift to get him as a gift.

He’s kind of a guys guy .. likes going out to the ball game, watching hockey, getting together with the guys and maybe playing a game of golf every now and then. Hmmm maybe I’ll come up with some Golf Gift Ideas for my brother in law … a new putter? I’m sure there’s something golf wise he could use, especially now that the weather is getting better and he’ll be out on the course more.

Any ideas for me? What would you get for a real guys guy that loves sports?

Ready for Christmas

by

Well I think we’re all set for Christmas. We’d better be! It’s almost 8 pm on Christmas eve and the stores are closed! If I’m no ready it’s too late!

I was just talking with a friend on the phone, wishing her a merry Christmas as I won’t be seeing her over the holidays and we were talking about our plans for Christmas day and so on.

She told me about the gift she got her nieces – it’s birthstone jewelry for kids! She bought a birthstone ring for one of her nieces and a charm bracelet for the other one. I thought that was a great idea. As I said we’re ready for Christmas and we bought gifts for the kids already, but if I’d thought of something like this before getting gifts I might have bought something like this for one of my nieces myself.

So … are you ready for Christmas and everything else that goes along with the holidays? Are you cooking a big meal or traveling to someone’s house to enjoy dinner? Tell me all about it.

I think I missed out on some big sales today

by

I just happened to turn on the news and they were doing a report about how it’s “Super Saturday here in Canada” or for all I know, maybe it’s super Saturday all over North America.

I guess it’s a big shopping day full of super sales. I did not know that. Now I’m upset that I decided to put off the last of my shopping until Monday! Maybe I could have got a really good deal or two if I’d gone shopping today instead.

I know that I’ve been receiving some email flyers that have some amazing deals on desktop computers and other electronics. I was seriously tempted to buy an XBox the other day when I saw one on sale. I’d use it – but probably not quite often enough to make it worth buying- especially when we really don’t have any spare money right now.

Did you go shopping today? Did you catch any good sales?
