It's An 80's Christmas!

Of course Christmas is almost here, and I thought what better way to celebrate it than to transport back to 1985 (like my best Christmas ever!) when I was 10 years old and list the things I got that year. Maybe you can relate, or just make fun of my old ass, or add a few toys and gadgets that you got or that I left off the list. This should be fun! 

Sidenote: Hey old heads, do you remember the JC Penney Wish Book that would come in the mail? You would circle what you wanted and give it to your parents. LOL. Those were the days!

Teddy Ruxpin was the ish! He talked and moved and I thought he was the best. Of course my favorite gift was a toss up between my Atari (I got Centipede, Ms. Pac Man, and Android with the console), and my Cabbage Patch who, legend tells me, my mother fought three women for and was booked on assault charges and put on probation. Also the Barbie dream house was a close favorite too. No one on the block had one. The Optiumus Prime Transformer was a gift my dad bought me. LOL. He always wanted a boy.

Great Gift Idea- For The Sweet Tooth Person In Your Life (Under $25)

...and you can feel free to put this under my tree. LOL. I get in my little sweet tooth moods sometimes and this is the perfect way to satisfy those "sweet" urges. Sold for just $24.99 by Secret Spoon Treats, these yummy caramel apples can be topped off with nuts, chocolate chips, and more. The price includes 2 giant sized apples and express shipping is available.

Great Gift Idea- For Male Co-Worker (Under $25)

Everytime we have secret santa at work, I always randomly pick the name of a male co-worker. (aka get stuck---LOL) Anyway, this year if that happens, I found the perfect gift that is appropriate and fiscally responsible.

The Emerson electric wine bottle opener is the perfect gift not only for a male co-worker, but for the guy who has everything and likes interesting gadgets and electronic items. Priced at $19.99 and available at Target, this practical gift will sure be put to use and is much better than a damn fruit cake. 

Great Gift Idea- For The Practical One In Your Life (Under $30)

I don't know about you guys out there in the Internets, but weather plays a big factor in my life when it comes to planning my activities, travel, etc. What better way to make it easier (instead of flipping to the Weather Channel and waiting for the prospective city to pop up....LOL) than to give the gift of a Personal Weather Station by Honeywell? It automatically sets to the US Atomic clock, can serve as an alarm with a snooze function, programmable ice alarm, and more! This dandy invention can be found on Amazon and retails for a mere $26.67. Now you can't beat that with a bat.

Use at the office, or at home, or carry with you when you travel to ensure that you know what to expect when you land! Interested? Check it out HERE.

Great Gift Idea- For Her (Under $30)

I am sticking with the underwear thing folks. Here are a great 3-pack of Vicky's Secret bling'ed out hipster panties that are great for her to wearing under her fave jeans, or just simply chillaxin'  around the house Sundays while she watches football with you (Go Bears!). And they come in a cute little gift box which will make her say....awwww. $28.50 at Victoria's Secret. Nice little stocking stuffer wouldn't you say?

Seen @ Victoria's Secret.

Great Gift Idea- For Him (Under $25)

What man couldn't use some more boxers? And these just aren't any boxers, these are thrifty boxers created by Marc Jacobs (can you say Fab?) And priced at just $10 bones and sold in a handy package (for his handy "package"....LOL) it's sure to make your man smile. 

Gift idea snagged by the wonderment that is Oprah Winfrey's O Magazine.
