Christmas is fast approaching. Have you already completed your list of holiday gifts? What are you planning to wrap for your family? Some, for sure, have completed their list of holiday gifts already and are busy rushing to any department stores right now to buy everything on the list. This is one thing I haven’t done for I can’t figure out what to buy for my loved-ones yet. I am more concerned on buying gifts for my family. Gifts for them should be something meaningful and useful.
While thinking on what to buy for my dear family and loved-ones, I came across Pier 1. Pier 1 has everything you need when it comes to gifts for everyone especially this Yuletide season. It has awesome lists of holiday gifts such as toys, accessories and home decors at very affordable prices. If you are troubled on what to get as gifts for your family and friends, Pier 1 will help you decide as it has impressive gift ideas you can prefer. I checked on their thoughtful gift ideas and it really helped me a lot to finalize my list. I am pointing at Picasso serving pieces for mom. I am sure she'll like it since she cares a lot about home decors and stuffs.
If someone will buy a gift for me, my gift idea for mom is a clue. I wish to receive any home decors this Christmas too. This Picasso serving pieces is just one of the many. There are a lot more you can choose at Pier with prices too light in the pocket. Pier 1 can surely make your holiday gift shopping easy and comfortable on the budget. Check it out now!
When you're done shopping for gifts and you still have some blessings left in your pocket, it would be nice to share that blessings this Yuletide season by dropping off cash donations and/or unwrapped toys at the register to show your support for Toys for Tots. You can as well extend you support by liking Pier 1 Imports on Facebook. Your "like" will be counted as $1 donation to Toys for Tots. Come on, share your blessings!

Bad Santa is a 2003 comedy film starring Billy Bob Thornton, who, obviously portrayed the role of a bad, real bad Santa who robbed department stores right on the Christmas eve together with his little helper played by the ever cute Tony Cox. But along the way, they meet a boy who taught them what Christmas really is. This movie is really nice for there are lessons to be learned but this is not quite advisable for kids to watch though because of its sexual contents and foul words. But I am telling you, you can have some good laugh with this movie.

Every part of our body needs care, even our crowning glory. Many that I know of have hair problems such as hair fall, itchy scalp, and dry and damaged hair. These few of hair problems happen to both men and women. It means not only women should fear these hair problems but also men. I personally suffer some of these hair problems that are only making me feel perturbed. Therefore we must take extra care and use the right hair care. I heard about Alcina, a brand of hair care that gives utmost hair and scalp protection against negative influences and at the same time keeps your hair healthy and maintains its beautiful glow. You might want to try it!

I just noticed today the campaign that was posted on Facebook:
To show my support for the campaign, I put up a Hello Kitty photo on my profile.Change your facebook profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. Until monday there should be no human faces on facebook, but an invasion of memories. This is to STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN.
I was a fan of Hello Kitty. I used to collect cheap hello kitty stuffs when I was young since cheap stuffs were all that I could afford. To name the few that I've collected were memo pads, ball pens, pencil cases, notebooks, stationaries, key chains, fancy cards and stickers.
Back to the campaign, putting a cartoon as our profile picture on Facebook is the least that we can do to support the campaign to stop violence against children. The deadline of putting up a cartoon to replace your profile picture on Facebook is until the 6th of December, Monday. By Monday, there should be no human faces. So, I am encouraging everyone to do what is asked to show your support. This task in not too much to ask and is very easy to do.

- Shoes; a Gibi to be specific. Oh really the top in the list? I love shoes most especially the beautiful ones for beautiful shoes take you to beautiful places. Hmn, where did I snatch that line from? Oh from Boys Over Flowers (a Korean Drama)!
- A new mobile phone. I really need a new phone not because mine is way too obsolete compared to those models displayed on the shelves but because mine is malfunctioning. I cannot use it to call anymore. I can’t blame it. Being under my careless care, I really can’t blame my phone for malfunctioning. Although I have a spare phone, a cheaper one, I do hope not to clutter my purse with phones. Here is the harsh part – I accept any of the two: BB or Ip. Wink baby!
- New specs for my higher grade. I need new specs. I am not talking about upgrading my eyeglass’ lens but getting a whole new eyeglasses. Using the same old eyeglasses for 3 years is no longer exciting.
