Santa's Helper (pictures behind the cut)

Yesterday I made it out to pick up Christmas gifts for Sierra.  Small stuff mostly, but I tried to wrap them nice - she gets as excited about that as she does the actual gifts.  My mom and dad sent each of us a $100 Amazon.com gift certificate - I donated mine to Sierra and kicked in another $80 on my cc so she could order the Xbox 360 Pro gift bundle - it should be here by Christmas Eve.  This means I already have a good idea for a birthday gift to get for her in February:  Halo 3  (I'm headed to the poor house - I tell you) :-)

I enjoyed the chore - put on the Christmas music station on Last.FM and made some Mocha.

All my gift wrapping supplies came from the end of season sale last year - 75% off
 


I didn't have much of a budget, but I know she'll like some of the things I got.  The wart remover, athlete's foot spray, odor reducing foot insoles, and foam ear plugs are a joke!  The small things will go in her stocking.  The plastic bins are "boxes" she can use later - I put the makeup and skincare products in them.



Here they are all wrapped up and ready to put under the tree!



Here is the stocking all filled and "decorated"



and finally - here are the gifts under the tree

She is going to be so pleased! The gifts are beautifully wrapped and look so pretty under that fabulous tree *woot*

Well done you! She's a very lucky girl xx

You make an excellent elf!

I hope as much thought and love flows to you as well!

*hugs and heaps of love*

Looking good. I have presents yet to wrap. I think the house may be empty Christmas Eve afternoon so I can spread out and do a half decent job. That's the trouble with living in such a small house.

My house is really small too. I've always lived in either small houses or condominiums, so I'm used to it :-)

I hope my friends post holiday pictures! (hint hint) :)

Good job! You're such a thoughtful mom - the tree and prezzies look great. :)
