Holiday shopping 2022


I can’t edit my earlier post, but this is what the 12 days of Christmas set looks like and the price was $13.99 for 11 jars of jam and 1 of honey.

ETA: Had to clear up some funky changes that happened while typing on my phone.

Bonne Maman CLEARLY saw the profit in their advent/12 days/sample gifts last year and is FULL ON for this holiday season!

I grabbed this one a month ago when I saw it. I haven’t been down that aisle since to see if they still have it in stock.

The Lindt advent calendars were in this week, so I had to grab those also. Didn’t see the Lego ones.

Just came from Petsmart. Tons of cat and dog advent calendars!! Picked up a cat one for our friends who treat their kitty like a child. :slight_smile:

Disappointed that one of the spreads has chestnuts as an ingredient. I was looking for a nut-free advent calendar.

For anyone who’s interested, since this seems to be a popular topic:

Look at the variety of advent calendars from Williams Sonoma - Dolly Parton, booze, Harry Potter, etc. https://www.williams-sonoma.com/search/results.html?words=advent

I saw somebody last year taking this one apart - you actually get a lot for your money

Heads up about the Sonoma advent calendars - I ordered one 5 weeks ago and I keep getting notifications that they are pushing out the delivery date because they are back ordered. They are now saying the end of October but every few days I’ve getting an email pushing it back. I’m worried that the order is going to get cancelled.

2 questions -

Has anyone found a cocktail making/mixes kind of thing that was very well received? Needs to be “fun” cocktails, and not whiskey/bourbon I know.

Belgian waffle maker recommendation that isn’t too expensive? (Likely won’t be used a lot)

Don’t know if you would consider this too expensive, but here is one on sale:

@1214mom - Do you have any cocktail type stores near you? We have a cute cocktail shop near where D1 and her fiance live. I have purchased some cute gifts from there. I have some flavored passion fruit syrup that I add a little to margaritas that is really good. I also bought very good grenadine from this store. Both of these are from Liber & Co.

Thanks everyone! I’m heading to World Market today (It’s not close to us so I don’t go very often, but I’ve got multiple errands in that direction). That’s where I’ll get the Mike’s Hot Honey, other stocking stuffers, and will look for mixers there too.

This is the one I got a couple of years ago. I had a non-flipping one from Walmart beforehand until it got old. I like this one much better. It cooks the waffles in ~1:30 each. My old one took 4 minutes! This one has slightly smaller waffles than the old one though.
