The evening of Black Friday I made a quick trip to Target and bought 25 bags of Lindt truffles (IVE NEVER SHOPPED FOR CANDY ON BLACK FRIDAY OMG!!) They had $7.99 bags for $2.99 or something
I got 25 of those to hand to the presswala, dhobi of this country, from garbage guy, mail man, school teachers piano teacher, tennis coach, violin teacher, 15 school teachers in all, the janitor at work, the receptionist at my office so ran through the 25 boxes before the end of the week after Thanksgiving
I have two neighbors, the ones on the sides, one family is retired couple from LAX, in their 70s, he is a very nice guy always helps out, so I did a assortment bag for them from TJ maxx, Chai, honey from Belgium, Jam from France, olives from Italy, Biscotti from Britain I think, basically 5 or 6 things for $20
Our really close friends at work got such $20 assortment bags too, so three more of those
The other neighbors weve had them for 10 years, they are wonderful
They usually do $100 in gift cards for us, along with chocolates
So yesterday I had to go to the Apple store at the Mall to see if they will fix my teen's phone, he threw it in the washer accidentally
So anyway I got a See's candy one pound box, 10 mins ago went to Target got $20 Subway, Target, X Box and Starbucks cards and sent it over with my 7 year old
They sent back $50 movie gift card and a $50 arcade gift card
Phew!!!
I am happy we didnt "under gift"
They are great people
Theyve helped me a lot in the last year during difficult times.
So we go above and beyond and they do also
One of my 7 year old's sitter and her Mom were here I am told, when I was at Target, to hand a jar of fudge
SOOO YUMMY
Its like I cant say anything decent about it
Its creamy and soft and sweet
SIGH!!
Or----ic
Anyway I have to go buy for her, I forgot
For not being Christian we spend $300 on gifts this time
