Over at the Lifestyles channel, they have put together a Virtual Mall with lots of great shopping ideas. Maybe I can talk my family into looking at the list of gifts for quilters and fabric artists on Quilting and Patchwork.
The Splendicity (Beauty and Style) channel will give you plenty of inspiration in its holiday gift-giving [...]
Today is Black Friday. The official start of the holiday shopping season. Some are predicting a dismal season. Lots of bargains will be available, I predict. But should all of us rush out and spend money or not?
