I am tempted to buy her a stack of Starbuck's holiday cups because she loves the damn things. I still haven't bought anything for my in-law nieces and nephew.mamikazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385202249576936548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-45976818380767885532008-12-19T11:11:00.000-08:002008-12-19T11:11:00.000-08:00Crap, I forgot something.

If you know what you want from the local stores, you could call and tell them you wanted to buy a widget in blue and ask if any of their employees live near you and could drop it off and you'll pay them now over the phone by credit card. You'd still have to go to the post office to mail things, but that could be one big trip to the post office rather than 14 little trips to all the different stores.Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931380770342598889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-46787749663317093032008-12-19T11:09:00.000-08:002008-12-19T11:09:00.000-08:00Hanukah starts on the 21st, and I'm taking my frie...Hanukah starts on the 21st, and I'm taking my friend's daughter to buy her (single) mom a present today after school. Since that's the only present I'm getting anyone, I'm in good shape (within the bad shape of not buying anyone presents).<BR/><BR/>Can you put little cat bells on your kid's feet or something so you hear them coming? <BR/><BR/>My mother used to keep Hanukah presents in the study closet, so of course I always looked. It was still fun unwrapping them during the holiday.Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931380770342598889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-59326831838443152022008-12-19T10:21:00.000-08:002008-12-19T10:21:00.000-08:00YULE PICKLE!

I got alot of stuff online this year but I lucked out with free shipping on quite a few things. Also signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime in order to get free 2 day shipping on a few things. <BR/> Many of my co-workers have a Christmas Club bank account which cashes out in October. They then get all their shopping and wrapping done then. I hate those people =) It's just not the holidays if I'm not doing things last minute and wrapping in the wee hours of the night. That is the American way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-35927834439592138152008-12-19T09:52:00.000-08:002008-12-19T09:52:00.000-08:00So, it looks like that threat of winter weather ac...So, it looks like that threat of winter weather actually came through! Looks beautiful.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a mom (yet) so I guess I can't answer your question. I feel your pain on shipping, though. I LOVE buying online but HATE shipping prices.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470834138243209317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682464829469372477.post-85732902390813264052008-12-19T07:47:00.000-08:002008-12-19T07:47:00.000-08:00I pay up front for my laziness in the form of Amaz...I pay up front for my laziness in the form of Amazon Prime. I just ordered most of my gifts off of Amazon... yesterday. No shipping costs.<BR/><BR/>And the pinnacle of laziness this year, I paid for Amazon gift wrap and shipped directly to recipients.Sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823897102038094722noreply@blogger.com
