The Sewing Mom

So, Christmas has come and gone and I hope everyone was able to enjoy a relaxing day with family and friends. Did you get up early to hit the stores this morning? Are you out there making those returns this morning? I have one I have to make, I’m heading out later today, hopefully missing the big rush.

This was what we in our house called “a light Christmas”. There were definitely far fewer gifts under the tree and my husband and I didn’t exchange gifts. That was okay with me. We focused in on the one main gift our daughter wanted and the joy on her face when she opened that gift was worth everything we gave up to get it for her. My husband did have a hard time not buying me anything, he wound up buying me some piece of electronic equipment that I don’t even understand what it is or why I would need it. That’s the item I’ll be returning today! I do appreciate his efforts, but…

I tried to tell him that he could go to get last minute gifts from Kmart and he more than likely would have found a perfect gift for me, or anyone else for that matter. In fact, he knew that I’ve been unable to find our candle holders that I use to decorate the mantle for the holidays, and Kmart carries the Martha Stewart Everyday tall nickel pillar candleholders for under $25. In fact, they carry a lot of gifts for under $25 including Leapfrog brand for kids and Craftsman tools for adults. There are over 25,000 gifts at Kmart for under $25, that’s a great place to shop! He could have even shopped online at Kmart.com.

Well, Christmas day may be gone, but I still would like those candle holders! How about you? What could you get at Kmart?
