It is December 3rd. 22 days till Christmas. That’s like a blink – right?
And I have not even begun my Christmas shopping.
When the kids were young, I had organized lists well ahead of time, letters to Santa sent early, Christmas club accounts cashed out, layaways picked up, gifts wrapped and hid… and likely all done by December 3rd.
Not so much these days….
So even though I’m saying again this year we are downplaying the gifts, I’ve been scouring the internet looking for “just the right” little sumthin sumthins.
Here are a few things I am considering. What do you think?
Did you ever wonder wh
at Uranus tastes like?
For my chocolate-loving friends, Chocolate Boutique Rekura RIHGA has these gorgeous chocolate planet balls each with their own unique flavor.
For $50 a box, I think I’ll pick up a dozen or two to keep on hand for those last-minute gifts you always find yourself needing.
And you know how hard it is to find a gift for your boss that pretty much can buy anything he wants? Well, I’m betting since he loves being in a suit so much all day that he would just be super-thrilled to have these suitjamas from ZBoss to wear all night too! And they are quite the steal at only $99.95! Check √
Now for that hard-to-buy for hubby…
Well – If I would not have just spent $100 and several hours of Jake and Nick and Colleen’s time buying and re-felting the pool table Marty got on Craig’s list, I would for sure have got snatched up this Ford Mustang pool table, which is a total steal for $9,995. Dang! It’s even in his favorite shade of red. Oh well – sorry dear!
But I did find just the thing for my grandkitten!
Wonder if she will love her pet hoodie as much as her Mom and I love wearing our hoodies?
Score!
So thanks to the This is Why I’m Broke website for the great start on my holiday shopping! If you have any more great ideas, please share. I’m still looking for a bit more inspiration…
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

LOL! I think Marty needs that “car” pool table! And those 9 pieces of candy for $50 – that is quite a deal! You should get several dozen! I don’t know your boss, but how could he NOT love those pj’s! You go girl! You are on quite a roll. 😀

Loved the pool table, Jodi! I will be popping over to the website to see what other sensible and useful items I might add to my own shopping list. As we say down South, this is for somebody with more money than sense!

Well what a list! I just love the pool table a must have 😉 😉 ;-)…my first car was a Mustang! And the chocolate, I have no words!!!! But the jammies for the THE BOSS, well who knows he may start a new trend at the office, “jammie day”! But the kittie hoodie is definitely a keeper!
If you are looking for a special candy my Brooklyn kids always buy us “No Chewing Allowed…” they are chocolate truffles to die for, they have a website, but are a popular popup store in NYC during the holidays!
Have a great day,
Char ❤

Holy chocolate planet balls Batman! What a great idea. I can’t believe they’re so inexpensive. Especially considering the price of Mercury these days. Good idea for next year’s trick or treaters.
And those suit pajamas…meeooooow. I’m glad I still believe in Santa. I’m gonna have to put those on my list.
Great post Jodi.
