i am beginning to wonder whats going on.. i bought 4 items now, that the person i bought them for ended up showing me they got it ! this is the down fall to wrapping early and putting stuff away .. now what do i do? did through it all and find the stuff.. some i will have to open to see if it is the items .. i hope this is not the beginning of a curse, with this happening more and more. last year for a birthday i bought someone something for their car, and they traded in the car LOL

in every one of their stockings i put a fruit, a pair of socks , usually a chap stick, some candy,(now protein bars) and 2 small gifts wrapped gifts in each.

it seems the actual black friday shopping has diminished a lot the last couple years. .. but there is still shopping to be done and going out thanksgiving night after spending the day with family (in my case sometimes going out with the family) and this year since i can not drive due to a medical issue i will be relying on others , but will still be doing plenty in store and on line. hoping to get te feeling of the shopping bug for BF

lol .. i got the list , got excited ,i tried to get an early start.and started doing the christmas cards....LOL.. and i lost them.. i bet i put them in a box of presents i was also wrapping. oh well from now on i don't do 2 things at once.lol .. and i will find them the next day i wrap

well so much for that idea. LOL!!! i dont think i wrapped since i wrote that. so tomorrow, aside from going to funeral home with my friend, . ( i am very comfortable with doing it, and she didn't want to go through it alone )and taking her to lunch/coffee ...i will be home all day. so i plan to get at LEAST 15 -30 done. plus a few birthday ones. as long as things go as planned. if not .. well then i am sure ill catch up at some point. i also have to pick up at JCP , kohls, and have a few items to go buy at O.S.job lot.( the crazy deals) .. ugg after writing this all.. i am thinking i wont get as much done.. but... i will at least have gotten stuff done .

i use to do this too.. i had an r.v. and in would wrap in there and keep everything in there. now i do it all in my room or my kitchen .and hide it in closets under the bed or i a big box in the corner ,

there is still the thrill of the actual shopping rush.. but i also have switched over to a lot of online shopping instead. and now i shop for an organization as well. for gifts .LOTS of them . its fun and saves them a LOT of money. so a win win,.

made this truck .. you can fold money into any shape.....no plans nothing like that.. just started folding .. and it came out good. lol.. actually had the tire idea as it is what my mother does to give us gifts.. she makes"bows" and they are the actual gift.. taped to a present .. or you can make french fries.(fold dollars and place in french fry box).

thank you for the answer. lol , that means i didnt win though.

lol i remember when we only needed them for aldis. my state banned shopping bags in ALL locations . even fast food. to protect the environment .. now you bring bags everywhere. they can give you paper only , but because of this new plastic bag ban , they charge you for every brown bag. so it only makes sense to use recycle bags. .. as much as people are complaining, its best for the environment's future. .

never knew gottadeal was on facebook. ill add it now! how do we know if we won on here? we would gave gotten a message? or would we be surprised when our mail comes?

I AM THANKFUL for my current health. had several scares but im still here. i am thankful for my sons who are all wonderful and decent human beings . i am thankful my parents are both still on earth and together. (though sometimes i don't think my dad is so thankful for that part ..lol) i am thankful for my extended family AND MY WONDERFUL friends . as well as my home

does anyone on this site geocache ? i am thinking of making a series specifically related to black Friday of lg containers.., and placing them at local retailers mid November. .. then thought i might have some fellow geocachers in this forum, who might have interesting ideas .

HI . I have a game idea , and i am willing to start it and set it up. i don't know if it is allowed on here , but i figured this is a group that would love to play... i will make a box " mystery box" that will contain about 10 items (aprox value $5 each -could be more ) . the first person responding they want to play,. will be asked to pm the "current box holder" their address .. the current box holder will send the box out to them.. when someone receives the box they remove an iten to keep and replace it with another item .. then resend it . some rules ... 1 , do not play if you will not be able to ship the box out. keep in mind shipping might cost more then the items values. 2 please ship box back out in a timely fashion . this group seems to come to a hault in Jan . and we want as many people to be able to play that would like to. 3. keep in mind when adding items the weight of the item may make the box more $ to ship . please MODS let me know if this is not an ok game for this site.

i love the mystery !!! lol i even subscribed to a shopping monthly mystery box .

i dont suspect i will win... but i enjoy the forums . i know others post a heck of a lot more then i can/do

i actually wrapped 7 gifts today . so hopefully i keep at it . if i do 6 a day from now till christmas ,i should be ok.

lol i had to hide a BED before . mattress and all. moved the couch away from the wall slid it behind. and then put a blanket over the top. dont know how i got them from noticing .

there was another code for 5% off .. shoot i didnt realize that. cause the 5% would work for any payment i think

maybe you can add that to the original post.. thankyou20 gives you 20% off

thankyou20 gives you 20% off

not sure why, might be cause i was out of commission from surgery and a major burn,,,but i have no motivation to decorate for fall this year. i hope i will for christmas .
