Holiday shopping 2022

Some of Oprah’s Favorite Things are half off on the Good Morning America web page.

Thank you for posting this! There is also a “classic” capsule calendar in addition to the Vertuo one.

I just ordered advent calendars for D1, D1’s fiance and D2. D1 will get the classic Nespresso calendar, D1’s fiance is getting the Lego Guardians of the Galaxy calendar and D2 is getting the Sephora calendar. I think they will all enjoy these as the lead up to Christmas.

My WS advent calendar finally arrived! A month late but at least it’s here.

Got the Aldi advent wine box today, but they had already sold out of the cheese calendar and won’t get any more. Win some, lose some…

I bought the Play-Doh calendar for both households of grandkids. Lots of good ideas in the CNN post from @BunsenBurner. Personally, I would like to buy the L’Occitane calendar for me, but I just bought a new light fixture for my entry, so I’ll pass for now :smiley:

I like The Kindness Tree calendar from @BunsenBurner’s link. I think it is a nice reminder to help create the peace, love, hope, and joy that are associated with the season.

I think we are giving our household a central A/C, so not too much else.

Really haven’t seen much to tempt me. I will spend on experiences when the kids are visiting and fiancée.

Honestly, can’t think of anything anyone needs or wants. Very thankful to have needs met.

Haven’t bought anyone anything and don’t plan to.
We typically buy what they need/want (within reason) throughout the year.

Actually….May order some fresh cut wreaths for in-laws and mom. A friend with a 5th grader headed to DC is selling them for a fundraiser.

I’m just planning on getting another waxed amaryllis bulb from Trader Joe’s - or maybe two of them. Last year I bought mine on the day after Thanksgiving and it did beautifully.

I bought the three pack of waxed amaryllis bulbs from Costco today. They were a big hit with my kids last year–beautiful plant that was zero maintenance!

I loved those last year but have not seen them yet at Costco this year. Will add to my list to hunt for the next time I am in there. Thanks for the reminder.

I might do an escape room for the sons and wives. We’ll babysit some Sunday afternoon while they go.
