Stress of Shopping

Christmas time is nearly here and besides the usual presents, which I have not even begun to think about, I have to pick out and purchase items for our promotion at work. That would be 528 gifts ranging from $15 to $1500. Sounds like fun? It can be but try finding items that are gender neutral, fit the budget and will not be a pain in the ass the lug to 4 different locations and set up in a display but at the same time look nice and worth winning. Want a PS3? You have to pre-order the games before you can even pre-order the system. HUH? That eliminated that one. Plasma tv's, GPS systems, stereos, chocolate fondue fountains? I am getting tired of shopping already and I haven't even purchased anything. Why can't we just give away yarn? That we be an ever enjoyable shopping experience!

BTW- I finished the ball band washcloth in my car this morning, waiting for an appt. Love the portable knitting.
