helix...Hello!
I noticed that thing about the people, too. I don't like that.
A long time ago, I used to hit the "after Christmas sales" to pick up "little things" that I kept handy for gifts for teachers and other PTA parents. I put all the things in a box and pulled them out when needed, making myself look like the "always prepared nice person" I wanted to look like.
It was a lot easier to look that way if your "Thank You" card was attached to a bath set worth $20 bucks originally that you got for $2 on an after Christmas clearance.
I saw on the "Today Show" this morning that a lot of people hitting the sales are carrying gift cards they got for Christmas. I'd forgotten those when I put the poll up. I don't give gift cards often as gifts. The only exception used to be the Blockbuster gift cards I'd give my kids so they could pick out their own movies to rent during the year.
