Christmas Favorites
Since I have already been opening a few gifts for Christmas I will let you know a few of my favorites!
-Clinique (Black Honey) Almost Lipstick
-Penguin Beanie Pillow
-Red and White Spirit Scarf
-$$$for phone cards$$$
I have not bought a lot of gifts for Christmas, but instead have been sending tea sets and novelty gifts when I get a chance for family and friends. I do not have access to items and/or the postal service but a few hours a week. (And if I am out of the FOB that day or during their hours it is even less!) We are blessed with free regular mail and can ship a cd or cd weight object for free. I have sent most of my family Christmas cards and most friends eCards.
I have shopped the most for William online as we both have ample access to all the haji gifts. I am going to list a few APO friendly sites in honor of full filling my shopping itch and being able to send gifts to the middle east and some for free even!Victoria's Secret, Zappos, Kodak, Drugstore!
I was shopping on the Polo store, but had issues with the transaction and I think by the time I ordered either they were out of what I was asking for or they had a glitch in their system. Maybe I will get him some Valentine's Day stuff from there!?!?!? One thing I got for both of us was a mug from Kodak gallery with pictures of us from his visit on it! They sent one mug to us both that made us look like aliens, then another with the appropriate head size. I was really discusted with them for their mistake before I got the right one. I wrote them a really nasty letter on how I had thought they were the top of the photo image producing agencies and I was very disappointed a) with the quality b)that someone didn't catch that mistake c)why the heck someone would send it if they did know that we looked like aliens. William told me he was too embarrassed to drink out of it b/c we had such stretched heads. I told him just to break it b/c the shipping would be too much of a bother for me to send it back. Anway, they fixed it and sent properly proportioned mugs that are cute and perfect and no one would be ashamed to drink out of :)
My in-laws have sent me tons of pecans, fudges, and homemade cookies! They did a good job. I also got a fair amount of Alabama spirit wear to make sure everyone knows where I'm from -- Sweet Home Alabama!
Have you already bought gifts? Have you already opened any gifts?
What did you buy? Where did you shop?
*I miss the hustle and bustle of shopping and fighting over the last gift!*

Black Honey Almost Lipstick is the best! I get to open my first gifts on Thursday.
I love the Black Honey Almost Lipstick! It's been a part of my makeup set since high school :o)
I'm 95% done w/ shopping and just have to go to Lowe's and pick up a shopvac for Dad and then by the grocery store to pick up the stuff to make Mr. G his stuff.
My mom is getting a heating blanket, K's bro-cedar cooking slats from Sur La Table, bro's fiance-necklace and bracelet from Overstock.com, K's mom-oil candle thing from overstock, and Kyle - well, he's getting lots of things. Last year he got one very expensive give - Johnny Walker Blue Label Whiskey. This year he's getting lots of things instead of one big thing. So far - crock pot, new calendar, can crusher, cook book (A Man, A Can, A Plan), xbox game, dvds, Me ;)
