Hahaha 

Do you have a Crumbs near you? I just tried the Baba Booey cupcake yesterday and it was AMAZING. Thought of you, my cake friend.

I keep telling my fiance extras don't count towards the total, I love shopping, and when shopping for others I feel less guilty than when buying for myself. I have a box full of extra goodies for my SS.

I've got a stash of "stocking stuffers" for my gift buddy. Not counting them towards the total because they are the little fun add ons vs a gift, but wrapping each and every thing.

I have posted my SS wishlist and link is in the sig box.

To my SS, TIA! I know you are awesome! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Have fun everyone! This is gonna be a great one!

That's awesome. Stocking's are my favorite part of X-mas.  I strong-armed my boyfriend (we live together) into doing stockings because I love opening them (and shopping for others) for them so much!

I don't have a Crumbs near me! *tears* I've never even heard of Crumbs, actually, but I've heard of Sprinkles! don't have one of those around me either. Sigh. We did, however, just get a Panera Bread about 2 months ago, and I am IN LOVE.

I'm so torn.  I want to order my SS some stuff online.  I feel like you get better deals especially with products from Sephora and when I can use Ebates.  However, I am going to the mall Thursday to get a couple things for SS gift anyway so I feel like I should wait to look at the products in person.  But then I think, "They might be sold out of it!!! Then I would be so sad and have to order it online anyway!"  I am a mess!

I'm so far behind on this thread but I do have a lot posted in my wish list stuff....   the shopping part has me a bit stressed because my santee is super sweet and I really hope I do her justice.  I'm already over budget (who isn't) but thank god for being a bb point hoarder /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  just placed a $50 bb order for free mostly for my santee /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> yay

I feel your pain! Except..I already went ahead and ordered some stuff online and I'm going to my SiJCP tomorrow to pick up something for my mom's gift...but I KNOW I'm going to find stuff for my SS. They have a whole little area set up by the register of 'stocking stuffers' that is just calling to me...

Hooray Birchbox points! 

 

[yousoldtheworld]

That so makes me wish I had some BB points to spend! I unsubbed for a few months and just resubbed this month, so no points to splurge with yet. No matter, she's still getting plenty of goodies. My lone worry is that she has listed brands and a few specific items she wants to try, all makeup...but no indication as to whether she likes brights, neutrals, a mix...so she's getting a mix. Hope she loves it! I figure, if she felt really strongly or only wore one or the other, she'd note it, right?!?!

Yeah, you'd think things like that would be noted. 

For the record, Secret Santa, I love neutrals and color! 

 I work third shift and usually just wear sweatshirts and yoga pants to work and don't really bother doing anything fancy with my makeup. BUT outside of work I like to experiment with all sorts of color and glitter and whatnot!

 I am actively stalking one of you, making a list and checking it twice!

 

[yousoldtheworld]

I can't tell you how m any times, while reading this thread, I have found myself singing "I always feel like somebody's waaaaaatchin' meeeeee....."

BEAR CLAW!!! It has a little bit of marzripan somewhere in it but it's awesome... so are their cookies. I worked at a Panera once. We broke up after one month. It was a mutual acceptance that we were not right for each other, but Panera always has a place in my heart~

I don't think I've been to a Sprinkles but it sounds familiar. Crumbs has like Costco sized muffin cupcakes. 

I want to go to Louisiana only because you make it sound like the most delicious foods are waiting for me there. Food adventures!!!

OMG.  Panera's bear claws are so good!

 I hope whoever has my name isn't stressing, I hope she has fun with it!

Oooh.  I don't think I'll have any BB points though again by the time it's ready to ship.. I used all of them (like.. 500 points?) on my mom's Christmas present.  I know some of you are like "duh it's the Folle de Joie" cause I'm pretty sure I've posted it eight times.  BUT I'M SO PROUD OF THAT BUY.

And whatever.. I've kind of decided that money that's spent on Christmas gifts isn't real money.. it's fake.  I have no guilt buying things for others, but when it comes to myself I'm amazed that I spent $30 this weekend to get things that I needed.. like bras.  I spent the same amount of money on food today and have no qualms.  Thank god for leftovers so that I can eat something all week long and not spend my regular $5 on Jimmy John's every day.  Lunch is riveting, folks.

Oh gooood...can you be my SS and send me some Jimmy John's? I used to live next door to one, but I moved and now there is not one nearby...I miss it so much, it's been years!

Bear claws there are so yummy!

@ writing a note to santee explaining my present, I had plan to do this a while back and hope too that I do her gift justice. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

WHY ISNT JIMMY JOHNS OPEN RIGHT NOW. Ugh, that sounds so good. 

And ditto on the 'fake' money. That's totally how I feel. None of this counts!
