I decided to venture out, against my better judgement, and head to the mall for a "quick" trip yesterday for a few last minute things. Boy was that a big mistake. What normally is a 15 minute drive took me 1 hour and 35 minutes to get parked, yikes! At one point, once in the mall's drive I sat in p.a.r.k. for what was clocked at a whole 14 minutes!! Lesson learned, I will revert back to my old way of handling my Christmas shopping, finish
all shopping by Thanksgiving! Thank God I had some Starbucks and good
tunes to belt out.
For post-Christmas shopping I normally just show up and shop. But this year I've got my eye on some particular things that must become mine as soon as 1:00:01am strikes on December 26th. Some of these are needs, not just wants, like a Christmas tree skirt. Can you believe I've managed to go 3 entire Christmases without one?!?! Not sure how anyone does that, let alone me. This is all thanks to an oh-so-adorable tree skirt I found 2 years ago at Homegoods that I questioned buying and when I returned to buy it it was gone! Since then, nothings compared!
Here are just
some of the things I'm eyeing...
PB Wreath Hanger - been eyeing this for months, $29 isn't even bad but I'm determined to get a steal! So far it's $12.99 w. free shipping. (the best part, I can use it all year long!)
Gift wrap from the
Container Store and
Papyrus. Usually I splurge and just buy it now, but this year I'm in competition w. myself to see how low I can go.
Kate Spade holiday thank you cards. I found some adorable navy ones last year that were 75% off!
Some sort of tree skirt but I'm clueless on what color, style, etc.
Cute, but not $99 cute!
L.O.V.E but not the
$190 price tag.
This however is calling my name, $78 or not. It's the perfect blend of all things me!
Lastly, I'll be on the lookout for some super cute ornaments to add to the tree next year.
Merry Christmas!
