This list of the Top 10 most shoplifted items of the season was compiled by Yahoo! and based on info from AdWeek. Yahoo says that “one in every 11 people walks out the door with at least one item they didn’t pay for.” That is truly shocking. More stats:
- Shoplifting is up 6% this year

Maureen has a pressing question that I’m sure many of you share!

I hope you get to blog on it soon, our party is next week!
Maureen’s ideas are snazzy. I might even use the battery one myself! Here are a few more ideas that I found online of what to give and where to find a great white elephant gift.

Cleanest shave my hubby's had sinse the salon!
I accidentally threw out my husband’s razor shortly after moving in with him. Opps! It is a testament to his calm demeanor that he was disappointed, not angry. Ever since then, he’s dreaded shaving his head with my electric razor because mine isn’t tough enough.
Then I got an email from Jodi at Philips Norelco asking if we wanted to test out a new men’s shaver and trimmer for the Bargain Babe Hot Holiday Gift Guide. Yes, please!

I love presents! I love waking up on Christmas morning to a tree drowning in presents. My family spends the day opening presents, watching movies, eating good food and talking to friends and relatives on the phone. Heavenly.
However, creating that pile of presents without breaking the budget and without gathering ANY credit card debt is a trick. A trick that I have pulled off for many years, by the way.
