IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN, CHRISTMAS! I PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF THINGS I LOVE OR WOULD LOVE TO GIVE OR WOULD LOVE TO GET!!
I’VE WORKED HARD ON THIS LIST, ACTUALLY VERY HARD! I ENLISTED MY BEST FRIEND, LISA, TO HELP ME BECAUSE SHE IS A GRADUATE STUDENT OF THE COLLEGE OF INTERNET SHOPPING LISTS.
I TRIED TO PICK OUT SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, BUT I’LL ADMIT THERE’S NOT MUCH FOR LITTLE BOYS OR BIG BOYS!!
STILL, ENJOY THE LIST IF NOTHING MORE THAN TO SEE WHAT I LOVE AND RECOMMEND! IT WAS FUN TO PUT THE LIST TOGETHER AND DREAM THAT SANTA CLAUS OR HANUKKAH HARRY MIGHT GIFT MY FAMILY & FRIENDS WITH A THING OR TWO.
I STILL LOVE THE TINY DIAMOND TREND. MAKES A NICE GIFT FOR YOUNGER OR OLDER WOMEN OR EVEN TEENS. ETSY HAS A LOT OF THE SMALL DIAMONDS AT EXTREMELY REASONABLE PRICES. HERE

THE SALAD PLATE IS ESPECIALLY DARLING AND I LOVE THE MUG. THE DINNER PLATE IS SO HEAVY.
AND IT’S ALL SOOOOOO CHEAP!!!!
IT’S A GOOD FAKE JULISKA OR SO I TELL MYSELF.
WELL, AMAZON IS NOW OUT OF THEM, BUT THEY ARE HERE ON EBAY. HERE AND HERE
I’M TAKING THE PLUNGE WITH A ROBOT VACUUM CLEANER – OR A ROBOVAC. OUR DOGS ARE HAIRY THINGS AND AFTER I SAW “ELEVEN GABLES” HERE RAVING ABOUT HER ROOMBA, I STARTED STUDYING THEM.
MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE NOISE. WHENEVER MY HOUSEKEEPER VACUUMS, I WANT TO ESCAPE FROM THE NOISE. THIS ROBOVAC THAT I CHOSE IS RATED THE QUIETEST ON THE MARKET WITH A STRONG SUCTION AND A LOW PROFILE SO IT CAN GO UNDER A LOT OF FURNITURE. PLUS IT’S PRICED VERY VERY GOOD. (CHEAP, NOT LUXE!!) IT WAS RATED VERY HIGH ON A FEW LISTS – ON ONE, IT WAS RATED HIGHEST. HERE
THE CUTEST! FROM UGGS WITH HAT FOR BABY GIRL HERE

I KNOW YOU HAVE SEEN THIS COMMERCIAL A MILLION TIMES. SO, I ACTUALLY BOUGHT IT FOR MY WRINKLES.
