I discovered a new flavor of chips. The chips are curry flavored and they are baked, so they have the consistency of Baked Lays. They are made by Archer Farms and I bought them at Target.

The best part, the girls hate them, so I only have to share with Jeff.

Curried chips...mmmmmmmmmm!

Mustn't run right over to Target!

If I keep reminding myself that I don't want to set foot in the mall until Christmas shopping season is over, I think I can resist!

I had to read this twice to get that you didn't mean baking chips - like milk chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter etc. It was really gross to me.

How do you do your Christmas shopping?

Mmmmm curried chocolate chip cookies. I'm sure if I baked them, few would enjoy them.

What's that?

No, I confess that I will enter a mall at some point this month...but not willingly.

MarleysNephew was quite willing to tell us that all the things on his list are very expensive, so he's quite willing to accept cash, to be applied thereto. A chip off the old block, he is!

Grocery stores in our area carry gift cards to various stores, which include Gap, Barnes and Noble, Bath and Body Works, Sears, Bass Pro Shops and various restaurants. I bought a few last year as last minute gifts.

On of these years, I am going to just go the grocery store and just pick out gift cards rather than shopping. It saves on wrapping.*

* I just wanted to mention that Jeff has been wrapping all of our gifts this year, something that I really appreciate. He is better at wrapping than I am and I just give him a pile of gifts with stickers and he watches a movie and handles it. He is even deliberately obedient when I ask him to color code the girls' gifts. (Color coding makes it easier for me to find stuff under the tree.)

These sound pretty good to me.

Gift cards can be a great idea, but be careful, too. There's been a scam going around for a while where nefarious sorts take pix of gift cards to get the number, wait around for them to be activated and then spend all the money on them.
