Last Minute Gift Ideas...

Here are a few FABULESS, last minute, and super easy peasy, gift ideas for you!!


Amazon Gift Cards - What I love about these is that they have a ton of designs to choose from, AND you can personalize them too! Print them out if you want, or send them to your recipient via email (save on postage!). (This is what I'm asking for... I'm saving up to purchase a TV since the only one that works is our small 9" kitchen one!).

Another FAB idea....
"Date Night in a Box"
...a dinner gift certificate, along with movie tickets!!

Here is an easy way to do it:

Buy Fandango Bucks gift certificates!

AND THEN...



Buy Restaurant.com Gift Certificates!... super cheap (TWO BUCKS right now!), and the gift is valued at $25! Read the FAQ's and check out the pictorial. Then get yourself some cheap dining!!

Simply enter code SANTA at check out to get the 80% discount!




And of course, you could always treat your mother, or your sister, or YOURSELF to one of these beauties:


And guess what local ladies - you don't have to order online and pay shipping! Simply call Celena (867-7655) or Chris (440-2404) to place your order or schedule your very own private shopping experience! (hooray for no lines, and no traffic!)

FREE Photo Calendar!!

For years, I would make my parents a custom photo calendar for Christmas. Back in High School (early 90's - yes I'm THAT old), I would find pictures, take them to Kinkos, make color copies, and glue them onto pages of a spiral bound calendar. Then Kinkos started making custom calendars, and I did that (man it was expensive!). THEN, after being married and having my own children, I discovered Shutterfly. Not only did I make a calendar for my parents, I was making some for myself as well. But THEN I discovered Google Calendar (which I love to pieces) and stopped making calendars, because I simply wasn't using the cute photo calendar and didn't want to spend the $ on something I wouldn't use. Sad, isnt' it?

But I'm BACK AT IT this year! Because I've found that VISTA PRINT, where I can design AND print my custom photo calendar FREE!!! I like all the options they give you for the design and layout. I'm excited to create and order one! I'm thinking of making one for my 10 year old daughter and use pictures of her over the past years. She'll love it!

ALSO - If you haven't ordered your custom photo cards yet, you still have time!! The 75% off offer is STILL going!!
