Jewelry Tree

For sometime now I have been wanting something decent to hang my necklaces on. I had one of those metal bodice things, but it wasn't really cutting the mustard, and was a bit short for my necklaces.

I had seen these timber trees in stores and liked them, but always baulked at the $150 price tag. I liked them, but not that much!!! Then one day I was browsing online and saw them for $60 at Myer. Bingo!

As luck would have it, the day I went to Myer they had 30% off christmas stock, so it came at just over $40.

I do love a bargain!

Bonus Thankful 26: Boxing Day Sales

Bonus round of thankfuls, because how on earth did I forget about boxing day sales???

I normally avoid the shops on Boxing Day, just because I don't like chaos that much (I get enough chaos from my family on Christmas Day). But I do like to go a few days later.

This year I am actually heading into Melbourne to catch up with a friend and do a spot of retail therapy. Should be a good day, especially considering I am taking the train down, so I don't have to bother with the traffic!

On my hit list:
* A star for the top of our Christmas Tree
* Undies for the boy. He loves these particular pair of undies, so when they come on special I buy up big on them. Unfortuantly for me, they only seem to come on special in the post Christmas sales.
* Maybe some more Christmas decorations. Turns out I didnt really have as many as I thought I did.
* A toy of some sort for my nephew's birthday. I am thinking of a Tonka Truck or something along those lines (am open to suggestions on what to buy a 1 year old boy)
* Some new sheets. I brought 1000tc ones last year, and whilst they are good, they give me the shits when ironing them, so am thinking of getting 500tc ones this year.
* Clothes. My wardrobe is so bare that the husband has more clothes than I do, and it has got to the stage where I wear the same three outfits to work all the time. I need variety.

That should do me I suppose. Unless of course I find something else I "need" along the way...

Oroton Sale

I love a good online sale. It means I can shop from home (or in this instance, from my desk whilst I eat chinese takeout). So when I recieved the email from Oroton about their christmas sale, I ditched the email, and hot-footed it over there to pick up a few items.

I can't show you the major item I brought, as its for the Mister for our anniversary in February, but I can show you the pretty little present that 'Style Santa' is putting under the tree for me

Now, because I am the sharing kind, and everyone needs a little christmas present from 'Style Santa', here is how I got to save 25% off all accessories. Go to Oroton and sign up to their O-List. Go into their store, either online or in person, and in the checkout type in the promo code of " XMAS25 ".

Last year I brought this handbag

, and saved a whopping $250 off the regular price, thanks to this sale, so it is well worth it. And to justify the expense of the suitcase that I call a handbag, it is the only handbag I have carried all year, whereas in the past I would go through 4 a year!
