Clever Posts Of The Week – December 12th

December 12, 2014

Happy Fa, La, La, La, Friday my Clever Friends. I’m fully in the Christmas spirit and have been taking some nice bites out of my shopping.  All online of course as per my shopping challenge.  Here are the things that I purchased this week (shhhhh, nobody tell my family this is online!):

  • Pendant and Necklace with Swarovski crystal Elements for my wife through something called SweetJack – which kind of a groupon, deal site.
  • SnuggBuds earbuds for my son
  • Computer Desk from Ikea

I’ve got more ideas and more ordering to do this weekend! I have yet to step into a brick and mortar store for my shopping.  Maybe that’s why I’m in such a great mood?

Speaking of greatness, here are my favorite posts of the week.  Maybe they will get you in a money saving mood for your gift shopping. May the odds be forever in your favor!

    Thank you so much for including my gift guide! I really appreciate it :). And, way to go on no store shopping yet! I’m in the same boat and am hoping to make it the whole season! Hope you have a great weekend.

    Hey Brock, thanks for including Robert’s post. Yep, I’m loving the whole online shopping thing now too. Can’t imagine having to brave the crowds again. I do still enjoy a good outdoor market though!

    Hope you have a good weekend and thanks again! 🙂

    @Adam – I agree….once the madness of the season is over, I’ll brave the elements outdoors again. Thanks for reading!
