I had bought a considerable amount there a couple of weeks before Christmas but I hit one of their huge sales and got 17 presents for 200 dollars and then they gave me the 40 kohl's bucks.

My husband and I had a Groupon for some mall pretzels so we had to walk through Macy's to get the stand. I didn't feel like I was missing anything.

It's not terrible, but... Also I kind of want to change to totally reusable cloth gift bags, but I don't know how that will happen as I seem to still have the same gift bags I had 6 years ago when we moved into the house. I don't know how that happens as I use them to wrap things for other people who do not live in my house. Somehow the pile remains the same size.<br /><br />How nice that there was just exactly enough space in the budget for that Godiva chocolate.
