ThingsAmongMany

Growing up I remember looking forward to the HUGE Toys ‘R Us circular that would come in the morning paper after Thanksgiving.  I would go through it marking anything and everything I wanted. Unfortunately I also had to face the reality that my parents would not get me EVERYTHING, so I would guide them through my holiday wish list with a key.  It had these categories:

1. Want 2. Need 3. Want but don’t Need.   4. Need but can live with out.   5.  Need and cannot live without. 6. Absolutely have to have and cannot live without.

This season I don’t need these Paige Cuff Frye Boots, but I want them badly.

You can deposit money into my paypal account if you’d like to make a contribution (e-mail me and I can set that up for you). Or you can go here.. and check out my Urban Outfitters holiday wishlist.

Feel free to add your wishlist in the comments section. Who knows, maybe Santa reads this blog.

Despite my rather cynical bashing of the ideals of Cyber Monday over at BrandsAmongMany, I did get a kick out of this email from Urban Outfitters this morning. Titled simply “typecasting”, I of course assumed that it would be an attempt to shuffle more of their enamel letters out the door (which I happen to be a fan of). So when what I found turned out to be a far more tongue-in-cheek interpretation of “type”…

I immediately clicked through to see what I could find. Pick the type of person you want to shop for and UO has put together a selection gift ideas that fit their personality. Of course, I’m not sure if I should agree with their decision to put those enamel letters in the “narcissist” section, but that’s where they are…

Who do you need to shop for this season? What can you find for them under their given moniker?

Well, its officialy. There’s carols playing, trees decorated, and windows being revealed across the city. Call me bitter, call me Scrooge, but I’m just not ready for the holiday onslaught yet. I’d be much happier if it would wait until after Thanksgiving (or at least the week-of).

But since I’ll clearly have little effect on the situation, I might as well embrace it right? And what better way to embrace the holidays than by planning to do all of my shopping online?

To make that a little easier, the crew over at NotCot has kicked things off with a holiday coupon book. The range of coupons covers a variety of brands from Hard Graft (I still prefer “Working Class Heroes”) to Hulger to WeJetSet. There’s definitely enough there to ensure you’ll be able to find something for everyone on your list. Yeah, some of the discounts are better than others, but that’s to be expected. Shop smart and you could score as much as 25% off!

Let us know what some of your best finds are!
