The holidays aren’t here yet, but springtime is still ripe for gift-giving! And who knew I could be so lucky to get all the gifts I need over the next few months at Goodwill! Another thrill of the hunt and success story for me.  I was perusing the Goodwill on south Broadway and Archer and although I wasn’t really looking for gifts at the time, it turned out to be a bonus day for me and the gifts I needed to get.

My cousin’s two nieces are graduating from high school this month and luckily enough I found an unused hobo bag, and an unused shirt made by Mossimo.  If they were purchased new, you could look at about $15.00 each.

I also remembered my friends shower is coming up and I actually found brand new baby clothes: what perfect timing for the little boy!  I also found the cutest little set of baby toys for playing with in the sand. These would have cost me at least $15.00 all together if I had purchased them in a department store.

I was on a roll and remembered my girlfriend, who is also starring in the baby shower has a birthday coming up. She is an enormous Elvis fan, so when I tripped across Elvis Presley alarm clock memorabilia I was thrilled. But, right as I was about to reach out and grab it, someone else took it!  I watched in anticipation as he played with it for a while, drooling over the fact that I wanted the perfect gift.  He eventually put it down and walked away, completely unaware of the girl standing off to the side, just waiting to jump on her prey. The clock probably cost $20-$40 new.

My bill came to $35.00.  This purchase got me 4 gifts, not to mention the dress, a fabulous pair of Kenneth Cole pale blue-grey suede shoes and a  great travel hobo bag! What a big win for me!  There is nothing more satisfying than knowing the cost for this bill would have been well over $100, and I paid a little over a third of that. Goodwill is a perfect one-stop shop for all of my gift giving needs this spring!

If you are like MILLIONS who don’t know what to get or what to do to show their deep appreciation for all their dear mothers’ have done for them, this is definitely something that could work for you.  By the way, Mother’s Day is THIS SUNDAY!

I checked out this site: Flora 2000, which is much like Flowers.com, but what I liked about it was the reviews.  I’ve not seen anything but one comment on customer service and delivery that didn’t show they went above expectations.  Plus, their boquets are nice, they have some different varieties of things that would be great for Mom!

Now, you best order early, as to avoid the mad rush, I’ve had to pay the price for expeditious delivery!

Regardless if you remember Saturday Night Live’s stint on Schwettyballs, it’s a name/word that definitely sticks in your mind.  This lighthearted website is great for someone who has it all, and likes a little “roast” on their birthday, or for any other celebration for that matter. 

If you go to Schwettyballs and click on the “shop now” tab and that is where I found this funny gift where you can get a case of golfballs, a cap and a polo shirt for about $40, which is a pretty good price for all of the items.  Plus, if you wanted, you could even personalize all of the items! 

I have that particular someone who I never know what to get them for their birthday or Christmas, and this was a unique and specific idea that I found ingenious!
