" Real men put off shopping until Dec. 24"
That's where the deals are.

If my hubby HAS to wait until the last minute to buy me a gift, diamonds would be work just fine!

One of my daughters who is patiently waiting for "the big question" would love to know this. Although I would have to say a diamond with a WalMart tag probably wouldn't quite cut it, ya know?

LOL!
Hubby is not like this, he is actually finished before me this year. I just hope I can get done.
My job really makes me hate December every year. I think I need a new job.
Merry Christmas AD! Your posts are always enjoyed by me.

If only women were goal oriented shoppers...
I go shopping and usually know exactly what I want to get before I get there. If they don't have it I'm usually lost. In fact, I get a dazed look on my face and wander around trying to wrap my mind around the fact that the store is out of stock of the one thing I drove all the way out to get.
Oh well.. At least most malls have a nice bar or two as a Plan B. ;-)

As a girl who is also awaiting the big question, don't ask for diamonds. If you ask for a colored gemstone, such as a ruby or sapphire (which I'm sure is what I'm getting), You can get a bigger rock for less money, and have that much more money to spend on te honeymoon, or wedding, or setting up a house.

3:30 Christmas eve? Most specials haven't even started yet.
I don't believe in diamonds though. What a waste of money. DeBears isn't the only one that hopes for ignorant shoppers, but they'll never have any of my money.

Hey!!
I HATE shopping. I would buy everything online if I could.
Amazon made a killing on me this year....of course, I made a killing with sales and free shipping. :)

All I gotta say is, Thank God for Zircons and Walmart. Make sure you pull the tag.

Real men are not spazzes; therefore, panicking at the last minute is not an option. Panicking is in the realm of pooftas.

Girlie men shop online or visit the mall in November, wrap their presents and stash them in the closet. I do not shop in malls, but I guess I'm a "girlie man" on account of my doing a lot of online purchases and special ordering a custom piece of jewelry for my wife the day before Thanksgiving.
I just refuse to buy any jewelry for my wife that any other guy could buy for his. My wife is too good for mass-produced trinkets.
