Brian and I hit up HomeGoods on Sunday to parooze the holiday schwag. I really wanted to get a wreath, but for some reason spending $25-30 for plastic-y and somewhat dorky (fake plastic Christmas birds?!) decor was too much for me to handle. And sparkly holiday snow squirted all over that plastic dorkiness?? Hmmm not so much.
We left HG empty handed in terms of a wreath, but we did manage to snatch up some other goodies (You'll have to wait for my obligatory X-mas decor post for more on that). We headed over to Target (love!) to pick up a few other things and to check out their wreath selection. More crap there. I usually love all things Target, but the wreath selection was definitely lacking. But THEN I had a complete lightbulb moment. I could just buy one of those crappy plastic-y wreaths and cover it with Christmas bulbs and other fun non-dorky plastic-y things!! So we snatched up a large $14 piece of plastic-y goodness and lots of cute little bulbs. The thing is already looking better than its cheap-o cousins. Observe:
It's still a little sparse, but definitely much better than something like this, in my opinion:
Christmas threw up on this poor little wreath
In other news, I have decided NOT to post about T-Giving. I am totally T-Giving-ed out. I read lots-o-blogs and I'm totally done reading about turkeys and pies and gourds and Black Friday. And besides, it is December now and the OCD in me can't possibly post a T-Giving post in December. Anyways, I had a FABULOUS time with the fam in OBX, but I just can't bring myself to look at another picture of T-Giving food. For the record, I planned the entire menu and basically served as kitchen dictator for the meal. My kitchen better watch out; I swear I'm turning into a cooking machine.
Just found your blog - it's fabulous! You have a new follower :)
ReplyDeleteHow about a big red bow for the wreath, but does it go on top or on the bottom?
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that wreath should be on "Hoarders!"
