Blogmas Day 18: Stocking Stuffer Sunday- Random Fun Stuff

So since I already mentioned movies and candy... here are some fun toys and other things!

First thing I want to mention is the Elf popper, they have penguin ones too... its basically a Nerf Gun that looks like an Elf or Penguin or something spitting out balls. It's a lot of fun. My mom got them a few years ago for my sister and brother in law and I... and it was fun. Yes... we're all grown ups... but it was fun! We got this at Hallmark!

Books are always fun! A lot of times if you go to Barnes and Noble... or even Hallmark maybe, they have tiny books that you can get as gifts. The LOLDogs and LOLCats used to be really big. I like the "I Can Has Cheeseburger" one... but there are a bunch. They might have some christmas ones or religious ones, if you wanted to give something like that. They have things like 642 little things to draw or write about... which is always a fun gift. Wreck This Journal would probably be a lot of fun too and that would fit in a stocking. All good stuff.

Gift cards are always good. Somewhere like Target or Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts are good. In New Jersey it was actually made illegal to have expiration dates on gift cards... but Target is one that never expires anywhere... so that is especially good. Gift cards to favorite restaurants or anything would be good too. Or Amazon or something is good.

Ornaments are always good. My favorites are the Frosty Friends ornaments from Hallmark... but Disney Store also has a lot of cute ones that I think are on sale right now. Dollar Tree even had some cute ones and decorations. Target has a lot too... Targets are a little odd. I mentioned a cute set in my 12 days of Christmas Gift Guide. Ohhh and 5 Below had really cute ornaments.

Headphones are always useful. A few years ago my parents found a really cute winter-y pair. I like that a lot! I used headphones all the time then... so that was really good.

Phone cases too. I got the one I have now from Target's Dollar Spot and I'm super happy with it. I'm not one for having a million cutesy cases... but I like this one.

And portable phone chargers... always handy!

I think that is everything! Can't believe this is the last Stocking Stuffer Sunday and it'll be Christmas in just a week!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
