My brother showed me the Eiffel Tower. 10.000 pieces and cost about $1000. Needless to say Santa will not be putting it under the tree.Did they recommend anything fun? I'm looking for something for Vic and Sophia for Christmas. If they work on a project together, they won't fight!
I was looking at the same thing for DS and DDIL but they said no. It's about $7000 here
Stopped at Hobby Lobby at the other day and scored a few christmas gifts, gotta love a good clearance sale.
I didn’t realize that legos could get that expensive. That qualifies them as big boy toys!
My son is really into hot sauce and likes to cook. So I’ve decided to get him hot sauce making supplies. So far Ive ordered a few hot sauce books and bottles. Once the new crop of hot peppers are available I’ll order dry peppers. Have a few more supplies on my list for him.

Just bought a Lego gingerbread house.
I've bought four Christmas themed Lego kits (small ones!) To go in the Christmas Eve box. I blame this thread!

A few more stocking fillers today. Breath mints, Gatorade and I got some jars of whole garlic cloves in brine. I had not seen them before and these will be good for in DB and DSIL stockings as they both like to cook.
When to indigo book store and they had 5Qt stoneware casseroles on for a third of their regular price so one is now sitting in my gift close. Will use it in place of a basket for a food gift. Still deciding on what kind of food basket.
I was able to buy some books on a site I found WOB.com. It's probably been around awhile, but I was able to mark some books off my list that I know my daughter wanted and my grandaughter. You can get them in VERY good condition or Good condition. All of mine looked good, with no writing. Going second hand on some of those is such an affordable way to get books these days.
I always admire all of you for buying ahead. I'm not so good at it. My people don't start thinking about Christmas ahead of time, so I never have ideas from them of what they want. I have picked up a few items along the way. I put some books in my Amazon cart today. We all love how-to books...we're nerds!
We have a lot of fall birthdays. So when trying to figure out what to get for birthdays I think about what to get for Christmas. Birthdays are done except for dgd(9) want me to take her shopping for her gift. So will do that a little early for her birthday since she will be here in a couple of weeks and her birthday is 8/29.
I’m into second hand books for gifts too. Have my favorite thrift shop and used book store I shop at. Some books have never been cracked open.
Talked to my husband about a few more gifts ideas for him. He said he already gave me a lengthly list- didn’t need or want anything else- so does that mean I’m done shopping for him? There’s one more item on that list I need to order and I found a ar15 Christmas ornament on Etsy. Ill take care of that tonight and consider him done.
Always a plus when they can give you some ideas.
I asked DH yesterday to start thinking of what he may like so that I can get that before too much longer.
I just pulled out my "gift closet" boxes and went through everything. They are all items I purchased at the day after Christmas sales last year. I'd forgotten how much I picked up - I remember TJ Maxx was my best haul!
The treasures I rediscovered include kitchen towel sets, oven mitts, baking sheet sets, spoon rests, Santa salt and pepper shakers, dogs toys galore, French and Italian soaps, cosmetics and Philosophy body washes
I also recently purchased a small metal sign for one of my closest friends - I think she is going to LOVE it! It says "A woman cannot survive on wine alone....she also needs giraffes"

Wow! What a haul!!!
Framing some photos for my husband (yes, another gift, lol). Got a frame, not sure it’s the look I’m going for. Will look a little more before I actually do the framing.

AJ, love that sign.
As part of my CIJ projects I pulled out all the boxes in the GC and double checked stocking fillers and gifts. I am doing well on the stocking fillers but need a few more gift ideas for everyone.

Picked up a simple black makeup pouch that says "#lashaddict" on it for a friend - and a tumbler for another friend that says "She Believed She Could But She Was Tired So She Didn’t"
