Ah yes, December 1st: the official start of the Christmas season. I cannot believe that it’s already December. I mean, it feels like just yesterday it was November, right? Seriously though, I’ve been hinting about the imminent holiday season, and I don’t think anyone has been paying attention. You probably think that there’s tons of time to get your Christmas shopping done, right? There’s really not. Most of us are too busy working to go shopping during the week, which just leaves weekends. And guess what? There’s only three weekends left before the big jolly guy graces us with his presence. And you’ll inevitably be busy for two out of those three weekends, which means that you’ll be squeezing a season’s worth of shopping into one, maybe two, days. Doesn’t sound too fun, does it? Don’t fret, all’s not lost. You can get a jump start on your shopping the lazy way, by shopping online. We’ll go through a whole host of possibly gifts for the special people in your life, and you won’t even have to leave the confines of your house to get the perfect gift.
Alright, so first up on the list is the child in your life (or the child at heart) who is going to love the Snowman Refrigerator Magnet (Miles Kimball, $11.99). You’d have to be a real Grinch not to enjoy something as simple, but uplifting as a magnetic snowman. Ok, so maybe it’s just me, but I love turning an ordinary object into a festive one. I won’t even be swayed by the fact that my fridge is black instead of snowman white. I’ll just cut snowman shapes out of white paper and stick them on the fridge with these heavy duty vinyl magnets. They’re even fade resistant so you can put them up at the start of the holiday season (today) and leave them up until the end of the month. Heck, you could even go all out and leave that snowman up there until springtime.
Seriously, how could you not smile with a giant snowman stuck to your fridge? It’s freaking impossible.
4 out of 5 stars.
