what gifts(items) did you buy from other wahm for Christmas gifts this year? I am going to be finishing up my shopping this weekend and hoping to get some ideas :) Thanks

More like what gifts did I buy from myself this year for gifts! LOL

I will be buying from a few wahm friends...as soon as commissions come in! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

Lets see...

I did a barter with a Mary Kay Gal to get some cologne for my hubby.

I bought 3 childrens DVD's from a gal who reps for Nest Family Entertainment for my nephews.

I purchased for MYSELF a necklace from a gal who sells Morgan Dane Jewelry...needed to reward myself too.

I bought alot of stuff from Avon to use as stocking stuffers (lip balms, eye shadows, bubble baths, etc)

I bought the cutest homemade zipper close change purses from a girl named Julie at www.julie-marie.com (http://www.julie-marie.com) I purchased them as I wanted a unique way to present some gift cards that I had purchased...the gift cards fit right inside the change purses!

I purchased some Mia Bella Mia Melts...some for myself and some to give as a gift.

I ordered something from Discovery Toys for my god son for Christmas, a game.

I purchased 2 cosmetic items from Arbonne that my daughter wanted.

I bought some doggie biscuits & treats from a rep who represents the Gourmet Dog Bakery...http://www.TheGourmetDogBakery.com
I ordered the Puppermint Dog Treats for our grandpuppies stocking.

I also purchased some mineral make up from http://www.affordablemineralmakeup.com/
I got the cutest pots of mineral eye shadow to put in my daughter Jenelles stocking...we both love mineral make up so I am sure we will fight over them!

I was at a craft show 2 weekends ago and there was a Creative Memories Consultant there and I purchased a pack of CM scrapbooking markers for my sister....she loves scrapbooking and had new markers on her holiday list.

Hmmm, I am sure I will think of more!

OOOOOO Shelly. I have to go check out the Julie Marie site. Sounds like a cool idea!
As per another recent post, I have, and will continue to buy, some Christmas presents from WAHM (and some from my businesses).

Just keep in mind, for MOST of us, next week is basically the last time frame to order and get our goodies in with "regular" shipping. My company's cut-off's are the 12th (NAW) and the 11th (TT) unless someone wants to pay for expedited shipping.Edited by: thatspagirl

She did a custom printed one for me in a pink ribbon print. My one doctor is an oncologist...so I bought her a Gift Card to the Olive Garden...she loves the O.G. and Julie made up a change purse for me in the pink ribbon fabric!

I also got a few in the pink cabbage rose print too....I wanted something to put the gift cards in...you know a little tangible something!

From the Mary Kay girl I got the Velocity Mens Cologne (hubby loves it) and I got some mascara.

Oh yeah...got a cute holiday pin from a gal with Lia Sophia too!

If you want to do some bartering, let me know. I bartered with Shay last year.
I have wonderful bath products, skincare, makeup and more!!!!

Oh I have another one....geesh, I have purchased a slew of stuff for the holidays from various wahm's so if I forget anyone, I do apologize!

I purchased some holiday themed cello bags from a cello in a box rep too! I got the apple kit from cell too! I do alot of holiday baking and candy making so I needed some holiday themed cello bags and they have the cutest bags!

I bought from:

Discovery Toys

A gal who makes her own beaded jewelry www.pandemoniumbeads.etsy.com (http://www.pandemoniumbeads.etsy.com)

Silpada

Tastefully Simple - to use when I entertain

Tomboy Tools

Barefoot Books - they have some great books with CD's that my kids like. I bought a whole bunch of stuff months ago and saved some.

I also purchased a publishing coupon from Cherish Bound to make a scrapbook.

And of course plenty of stuff from myself http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

Hmmm, I bartered a candle with a Tupperware gal for one of the children's play dish sets for my daughter.

I also purchased two sets of the Tupperware kids tumblers for my daughter because she likes to drink from cups now (at 14 mos., she thinks she's a big girl!)

I bought a windchime set from a friend who was with Big Yello Box for my nieces.

I purchased some Holiday cello bags from a Cello in a Box rep and I liked them so much I became a rep too!

I just ordered a stuffable puppy dog from a Stuff-n-Snuggle rep for my daughter.

I got some Mexican Meatloaf mixes from Gourmet Cupboard for hubby.

And I will also be doing some gift baskets for family and friends with a mix of foods, car freshers, and spa products from my own companies, and some will be wrapped in Cello products :) And I got a Dog Biscuit baking kit from Cello for my neices also.
