I want a stick vacuum for my 8x11 office. It has hardwood floors and gets super dusty. I am also lazy and am tired of sweeping the floor constantly.

Will I regret getting something like this? It really won't be in the budget to get something high end for a while. www.amazon.com/dp/B002KCO96C/ref=psdc_3743521_t1_B00450U7V8

I'm pretty sure I'm going to by a Lo & Sons OMG bag before the sale ends tomorrow. I got H the Cambridge one for Christmas and now I am jealous.

I can't decide on the color. I really hate black bags because they just look so heavy and somber and boring. But I don't have a good black tote, and I'm a little worried the other colors might look cheap.

I have the plum one and I don't think it looks cheap.  It looks better IRL than in the photos.

I want to buy a new sectional sofa. But we have some credit cards to pay off from our vacation and Christmas and the dog needs surgery. I also don't know what our monthly income will be next year as I am waiting on a job offer.

Good to know! That's one of the colors I've been eyeing. Or the navy.

ESF -- I have navy and it looks ... Like a nylon bag. Not necessarily cheap but not fancy. I would say it looks at least slightly nicer in the photos because in the photos it is not overstuffed and dirty. If I were buying today I'd be going for heather, which to me looks like a nicer fabric anyway.

But also, if I were going to buy it today, I'd get an OG. I will always maintain that the OG is a really big bag and maybe would look ridiculous carried by a short person like me, but my OMG is a bit smaller than it needs to be to be super useful to be (as a personal item when traveling -- I don't use it as an every day bag).

So I mentioned in the other thread that DH bought me an Apple Watch for Christmas. I didn't necessarily want one, but I sure like it now. So I have decided to embrace it and make it part of my wardrobe, which means I need some new bands for it!

This is the one I really like:
Band

I just can't justify paying that kind of money for essentially a bracelet.

New duvet



Monogrammed quilted ornament holder (holds 54 ornaments)




LV Epi Neverfull (although I really wish the hardware came in gold instead of silver)



Laptop

I have been reading reviews for over a month and still have no idea what to get, so I don't have a picture.

[crashgizmo]

sfy I love that duvet, but my dog/DH would ruin it in about 12 seconds. How would you keep it so clean?

No pets, no small kids, a H who finally mostly feeds into my insanity and my best friend, Clorox Ultimate Care (yeah, yeah, yeah, bleach is bad lol).

This year was first time buying non white bedding in at least 10 years (although much some of it is still white) and it's been alright, but I miss white.  I like when my bed looks like a hotel bed.  I find it very comforting.

I bought that EXACT one for the cat litter in the upstairs hallway. I hate sweeping, which is totally useless IMO. The vac is not strong but definitely better than sweeping. How dusty are your floors? I can test mine and see how it does for that; not sure what kind of strength you'd need.

I like the quilted ornament holder! But the monogram seems over the top. Can you find a similar but cheaper one elsewhere?

Am I a moron?  Because I don't care about the monogram and I honestly never thought about looking elsewhere.  Thank you for this.  Don't judge me as much as I am right now lol.

This bag. My Amex has $100 off $500 online, so I'd get some sort of savings.

I love mine! I have the black one with lavender interior.  (heart)

OMG I totally thought you were being snarky at first with the GIF and was at my computer thinking, "DAMN. The claws are out!" I was very glad to see you weren't lol.

I've pretty much talked myself into it already, but these dishes. 

I wanted to register for them when we got married 5 years ago, and still visit them at the store. The price of 8 place settings is $0.02 less than my Christmas money. My coworker's daughter needs dishes for her college apartment (she could have my old dishes). 

It's fate, right?

I really, really want a sofa. I'm hoping to get one with our tax refund (don't judge me).

[hamster]

Yeah right, last time we played this game we went and bought a truck!

[raangoli]

spunkarella .02 cents for dishes is a bargain!

This is fun!
I really want this set:
www.mauvielusa.com/M-150s-Copper-Stainless-Steel-Cookware-Set-10-pieces-cast-stainless-steel-handles-1-5mm-plu6100.11.html



I know operagirl would approve.

I might "save" and just get the 7 piece set.
www.mauvielusa.com/M-150s-Copper-Stainless-Steel-Cookware-Set-7-pieces-cast-stainless-steel-handles-wooden-crate-plu6100.02wc.html

Because I make soup, like, NEVER. But the 10 piece set is sooooo pretty.  [ETA: And on sur-la-table I could get a similar price AND ebates.....so....yeah.]

[Deleted]

spunkarella, if you're still visiting them in the store you need them! Also, if your Christmas money will cover them, then DO IT!

Mr. GT needs wants a new car to replace his 1997 Honda Accord. The Accord still runs, but it is in the shop every couple of months and I am the one who takes it in cause the shop is across the street from my office.

I am a master enabler, no explanations needed. Get all the things!

If anyone is trying to decide if they want a Philips Airfryer, you should definitely get one. I got the Avana version for Christmas, and I love it.
