Thank you for the welcome, chiroptera and Lasciel! 🙂 Ho Ho Ho, I must be falling ill aka getting a little Christmas spirit-y Just saw these little felt totes on HSN and I think they’re _gasp_ cute. Marlo showed them for a sec, and they looked cute on TV, at least. Think I’ll order a couple sets for kid gifts. Now I will just have to find some little kids to give them to…lol 😉 Only 9.99 +1.99 S/H for the set of 5! Thought I’d share for those that might need some inexpensive kiddie gifts.

> [@Beauty\_Taint](#): > > Friedbaloney, good to know it turned up easily with a google. Hoping others will do that as well.

But, Honey, that is why you get a bib! And then you can keep it on when you have your LobsterGram. Sort of like a two-fer! ---

> [@Honey](#): > > That’s a steal at $2 each and $1.99 shipping.!!..And they’re adorable. I know, right?! You can hardly get gift bags for that price. I’m ordering 3 sets. At first I was like “I don’t know that many little kids anymore, who would I give them to?” Now I’m like, “So what? For that price, I’ll throw them in the schoolyard at the local elementary and let the little buggers duke it out.” 😃 But really, I’ve got a couple three kids I know that I can give one to. I’ll donate the rest to my local toy drive, with maybe a little something something non-xmassy in them, too. ---

> [@Luvyameanit](#): > > Beauty, you are really feeling Christmasy. Still no decorating? Well, truth be told, I _do_ decorate a _little_ for Christmas. I’ve got a couple Yankee Candles in “Ice Crystals” scent, that smell exactly like my childhood Christmases to me somehow. I usually light those up during December. BOOM. Decorating. Done! 😃 **Cat Whisperer** thanks for the welcome! You should try a little snark watching and join in. The shopping channels might not really be that great for actual shopping most of the time, but the are rife with unintentional comedy. 😃 Glad to see some of the regulars from TOP are making their way over here. ---
