I've cashed out since march for gifts- shoes under, $25 gc bath & body works and bath & body tote bag, $25 Visa gift card. X-mas always sneaks up on me and I am always short moola when it comes around, I have a high medical bill I need to pay so I am doing my shopping now,lol..

THANKS!! 6|4|Great idea, I only have a crowded closet in my office to store things right now, very cramped in there as I have all my sons things, bed etc...|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|21:34:17|05/03/2012|
All stored in my office closet and my office space. Hoping he will find a apt this month so this stuff will get cleared out and I will have some room. I don't have any stockpiles of gifts for b-days etc... I end up rushing to finish hand made items to give or just give money, but it would be nice to have gifts on hand for those moments.
