i hear those cash registers ringing and online clicking....

For many errand running, purchasing obsessive consumers, the holiday shopping season can be a tedious but oddly satisfying time. Finding that perfect gift may take endless shopping trips, time consuming cross-referencing pins with competitor website pricings and possibly a lot of last minute purchasing, but at long last at the end of the day when you have it all laid out on your catch all table in my case the multi use dining room table, there’s an abundant feeling of satisfaction and an emptiness lifted away at the same time. And then of course you’re off to the best part, putting all that pretty holiday wrapping paper and accessorizing bows to use that have been patiently waiting to be curled and taped and strategically placed. Ahh if only it was December 23.

Back to what doesn't have to be such a dread, I've put together some gift guides to be posted over the next few days, for some of the special people on my to-buy lists. Maybe it will help you out too. Hope you find everything you are looking for, 35 days to go! Now let the Christmas music begin.
