It seems like the fall semester just started at work and here we are just two days away from Christmas!
Our work holiday party was last week and there was an ugly sweater contest. Now, my mom was a little insulted because I asked to borrow one of her sweaters. But it paid off, because not only did I win, but the price was a $25 gift card – sweet! Mom keeps insisting that I have to give it to her so we’ll see. But she really shouldn’t be insulted. The reason I won was my sweater was the most over the top, not the ugliest. You see, it’s the gifts of the 12 Days of Christmas. It goes onto the back, too, but even the Man’s cell phone couldn’t take its gloriousness – the sparkle and shine was just too much for it.
I’m finally “in the mood” for the holiday now that everything is packed and wrapped and mailed. But for those of you who still have some people to shop for, there are always gift cards! So here are some ideas for unique gift card places and what I would purchase for myself from each. (Click the photo to enlarge, or the web link to take you directly to the item pictured)
