Decemblog! 10/31 – Shopping Spree

Today Max and I had our Medical Anthropology Final, which just so happened to be my final…final. Hooray for I am done. Now all I have to worry about is sending out Christamas cards and getting the house clean.

Looking back, I think I did alright. Definitely better than last year, though I think I could have done a bit better if I tried a little harder. I will make sure I do not make the same mistake next term.

I realize that it is getting a bit late to buy Christmas presents online, but just in case you are in need of some last minute gifts, I thought I would post some of my favorite online stores.

• Threadless (www.threadless.com) This is one of the coolest place to get t-shirts. There are TONS of designs made by real people, and the prices are great. Even better, they are having a sale right now with t-shirts selling for $5, $10, and $15. Oh and shipping is free if you spend over $50. Shop here for your friends, and for yourself.
• Moo (www.moo.com) This is a fantastic printing company that lets you upload your own photos to print on stickers, business cards, postcards, and the like. They also have a huge library of stock photos that look brilliant. It is dirt cheap for what you get ($10 for a stickerbook of 90 stickers). They also have Christmas cards available. This is perfect for the adults in your life, a sentimental twist to the basic Christmas gift.
• UncommonGoods (www.uncommongoods.com) This has always been one of my favorite web stores. Some of the best gifts I have gotten for my friends have been from UncommonGoods and the gift wrapping is so pretty. They have a wide range of products and prices, and everything has its own unique twist. Shop here when you don’t know what to get someone.

So there you have it, some of my favorite places to shop when I have a holiday or a birthday coming. I find it easier to rely on an online store than to buy something in person and ship it myself, especially when I am buying gifts for my friends and family in the states. (Less hastle with the mail)
