(ended) Countdown Contest: 23 Days Until Christmas

Merry Cyber Monday! I hope all of you have your deals picked out and are ready to shop. While you're online today, I need your help. I still need to get Tricia a gift for Christmas, but I have no idea what to buy. It needs to be something special that she will love. To enter today's contest, post a gift idea for me. Think about her favorite things and help me make her Christmas one to remember. I will randomly choose one winner at contest's end at midnight tonight.

Standard rules apply:

One of my most treasured items is a silver bracelet my best friend gave me, so I think this would make a nice gift for Tricia:

I had so many ideas...she being such a great person and your best friend.

I decided on something fun...a memory...something to bring a smile.

I found a great picture frame that the words can be made into "best friends" and both your names...Tricia and Angie.. through it.

Then put a fantastic picture of the two of you. A day to remember or just all your fun you have together!

from Personalization Mall.com

The picture frame is $24.95. There are some coupons also.

and then you could always get your picture from snapfish...or any of the other picture places.

Okay, I was gonna post the same gift idea as Sunni. I guess great minds think alike.

That picture frame would be awesome. And today there's free shipping from GiftsForYouNow.

I am a Gift Card Person, especially for clothes. I know it don't seem personal for a boss, but after Christmas there are so many great bargains and it is fun to shop with a gift card at her favorite "clothing store".

PersonalizationMall.com ... Making Memories? Personalized Collage Frame I got this for one of best friends and she totally loves it and it is very unique, you could maybe put sunshine instead of a last name.

What about a photo book from Snapfish? You could scan a bunch of pics from your childhood/teen years/now and make a book out of them! I made one for my MIL and I REALLY like the way it turned out.

Pretty positive Tricia LOVES her Mrs Prindables!! How about getting her this 12 Days of Christmas Petite Gift Assortment? If you order it today, she could probably get it in time to start the 12 day countdown! Plenty of options to share (w/you when you come over to help her w/something SR related) or w/her family!

I think she'll LOVE it!! ;)

Ahhh, Jen....you stole my idea! You KNOW that is what I was going to propose!

I would get her Mrs. P's, but maybe also from Personal Creations, the cute best friends snowbuddies. I got that for my best friend. We always exchange Christmas ornaments every year.

just a side note on the Tamara of Boston bags........I have one sitting right next to me at the moment...my sister bought me one a few years ago (she somehow knows the woman who makes them. They are so nice!!!!!

I'm going with some chick flicks from deepdiscount and some wine from mywinesdirect.

Who better to share some bubbly and girlie movies with! :)

How about a gift basket from Jelly Belly!! Yum! With enough to share of course.... :love:

You all had such good ideas. I don't know if it helped or just made it harder, LOL! Now I want to buy her everything!!

I did get a big kick out of the suggestion that I buy her a Colts sweatshirt--remember now that Tricia is a diehard Steelers fan. :rotfl:
I'd love nothing more than to turn her into a Colts fan, but it just isn't going to happen! Oh well, maybe I'll get that one for myself.

Thanks for your help--the winner for Day 23 is post #11 disney girl.

Congrats! Open a trouble ticket to verify your mailing address.

Yay!!! I won!! Thank you so much!!!

I did enjoy reading through everyone's suggestions! You can tell that a lot of us really thought about something that Tricia likes or would enjoy!!:sunshine:

I don't know if it is funny or scary how well some of you know me. I have actually either 1) purchased some of these things already myself, or 2) circled them in catalogs as gift ideas for SunshineGuy to get me!!
