I received my SS gifts last week. Sorry for not posting sooner. I love all of my gifts and am very thankful to my SS for including my pup and kitties in my gifts!

If she doesn't need material items, maybe get her an experience gift. Concert tickets, a mini weekend mom and me getaway, mani or pedi gift certificate, etc.

She already does cake decorating, so unfortunately that wouldn't work. lol She really is difficult to buy for. Thank you for the suggestion though, I am always happy to get ideas for gifts!

My MIL is difficult to buy for because she is not into fashion, makeup, perfumes, collectibles and cannot travel to go to events because she is a caretaker to her sister. I hate to buy her the same things every year or buy her one of her vices (lotto or smoking, yuck.). I'm thinking about new kitchen items for her, as she does like to cook and bake. DH & I struggle every birthday and Christmas buying for her though.

Frosty Friends from Hallmark, every year since I was a child. Once i buy it, it feels like the holidays can begin.

I purchased one through a school fundraiser that a family friends child was doing. It has lasted me more than 5 years (it was very thick) and I wish I had bought more than one as I will need another one soon.

My new DH wants a new iphone and Star Wars stuff of course, my nephews are asking for video games and specific RC cars and it would be great to find a deal on a new DSLR that DH could buy for me.

Enfield, CT and Holyoke, MA

Walmart, Michaels and Walgreens.

Does anyone know if Duluth does a BF sale or cyber monday sale? Most of the gifts for my cousin's fiance will be coming from there and I'm wondering if it is better to purchase now or if they have deals on BF/CM. Thanks for any info in advance!

My SS box came in today and all I can say is THANK YOU!!! You really went above and beyond and sent me things that I love. From the Philly Flyers tote, umbrella and earbuds to the Glinda tin sign, it is all amazing! Here is a photo of most of the gifts in the package. The Glinda sign was already hung on the wall by this time. lol There was also socks included, comfy and classic designs. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3817/11334719295_c992bc2c3e.jpgSS by KatyLovesHockey, on Flickr I mistakenly thought my package from my OE secret santa was my SS. Makes sense, since that package was mostly ornaments.

I received my SS gift on Saturday and opened it. I will post a picture later, but wanted to thank my SS for the lovely ornaments and Christmas CD set. I needed to get new Christmas music, so it worked out wonderfully!

Reading, PA. They are an ECHL team. They do a lot of theme jerseys throughout the year, this one is actually pretty cool compared to some other teams Christmas jerseys.

Gelish is another one. Sally Beauty carries it. They have a good variety of colors to choose from and are on sale BF there.

Western MA stores are opening at 1AM. Your local store should have their opening time posted as you walk in.
