After-Christmas Shopping!

by @dm1n

I went to our local mall today and did a ton of shopping with the Christmas gifts friends and relatives gave me. How, you may ask? With gift cards and coupons! I got a ton of them for Christmas and for New Years, and I haven’t had the time to use them up until now. Such is the life of the busy designer and waitress. Oh my!

To the local mall, I went. In search of amazing goodies. I bought a lot of things at Best Buy, but not anything amazing. I wanted a 3DS and an iPad, but I definitely don’t have enough money for that. I’m hoping to get a credit card soon, though! That will help. I went into other stores where I had gift cards and coupons, like to Hot Topic with a gift card and Guess with my guess coupons. I purchased some clothes and cheap bead necklaces. I’m feeling like a fancy pants!

Thanks to everyone who gave me amazing Christmas gifts like the gift cards and coupons. I prefer getting those, than getting a gift that you aren’t sure I’ll like. At least this way I’m able to buy what I want from a particular store or outlet, so it works.


Personalized Picture Frames

by @dm1n

I’ve been hard pressed to find a gift for my friend who is going to move to England for schooling. She’s dreamt about going to England to study since she was a kid, and now that she’s going, she’s been very nervous! I wanted to give her a cute, and unique gift, but something that would help her remember her dearest friends.

It was brought to my attention on Facebook that http://personalcreations.com has some lovely stuff for gifts. And indeed, they do! I fell in love with some of Personal Creations frames. I have to say that these are beautiful and unique frames! I’m not much for photos, well being in them. And since she’s a photography student, I have to say that some of these are perfect!

For example, the “I heart photo collages” one is super cute. Not to mention how wickedly cool the “Large photo vase” is! You can keep your photos *and* your flowers in them!

I’m sure Courtney will love some of these as going away presents. Time to start ordering!
