My boyfriend’s mom is always jealous of the cool goodies I pick up from Trader Joe’s, but I know she is never going to shop there. So I had the idea of putting together a Trader Joe gift “basket,” filled with my favorite TJ finds (well, and things I think she’d like). I’m going to put it in a reusable Trader Joe’s shopping bag.

As far as things I’d like…I would love a new laptop or a new camera, but I don’t think that’s happening! Or a GPS for my car…guess I’m into electronics this year!

That is a great list!!! You gave me some definite gift ideas – THANKS!!!

» Quix said: { Dec 10, 2009 - 09:12:32 }

Great ideas! Love the mug, I might have to go pick that up for my Zliten. He is actually in need of a clever coffee mug since he started his new job. :) I want the garmin but it’s really expensive – I’ll hold off until it comes down in price unless someone just wants to randomly give me one hehe.

Good luck with the rest of the paper writing! You have to be close to done, right? :)

Cool ideas & cool pic! We are keeping everything to a minimum this year & other years too! With 7 grandkids, it is hard.. 1 gift for each this year & my hubby’s bday is the 23rd!

What do I want, I still want some friggin magazine I read to think I am worth being a reader model! I have been trying for so long & I am not a person that looks great in pics so I assume I am just not what the camera likes but isn’t this about fitness & I am 52 years old! I have been trying for at least 3 years +++

I am hoping that I will win the bake off on Friday at work…that would surely mean world peace is next on my agenda…it needs to pop! I was thinking something in individual little likor glasses, like a pumpkin trifle or flourless chocolate ganache….do you have ideas?

LOVE THIS. and love this year that we do hanukkah and totally roll gift free.
I know as my daughter gets older we will need to do SOME sort of exchange but for now we just made her dad a necklace :) and are DONE!
