Christmas: Can't Find Series

I can't believe how close Christmas is getting now! Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away which means...Black Friday sales coming up! I highly doubt I'll get to hit any! :)

This series is for you to post things that you are looking for as Christmas presents that you can't find. Let the other readers help track down a tricky item for you! They've been wonderfully great about ideas for me so far!

I don't have a particular item I'm looking for this week but I do have a question for all of you. What is your favorite kitchen appliance/gadget/item that you can't live without? I'm kind of looking to expand my cooking/baking world here and I thought I might put a new gadget on my list this year.

Leave a comment or a link to your blog of your favorite item.

Christmas: Can't Find Series

Less than two months until Christmas now. It didn't seem quite real until the weather dropped yesterday and we actually saw some snow flurries. SNOW! I feel like I was just gardening yesterday. Time sure is flying by!

Well, I don't have any specific items I am looking for for Christmas. But I am stuck on ideas for the Nanas. So if you have any great ideas or some fantastic homemade gifts that will touch their hearts, PLEASE let me know.

For those of you new to this series, I usually post this on Monday/Tuesday as a place for you to ask all the readers for help in finding a Christmas item/idea. So feel free to leave a comment or a blog link.

Christmas: Can't Find Series

Believe it or not, aside from a few gift cards and 1 PSP game I have to pick up...I am all done Christmas shopping. They just need to be wrapped. I know that sounds absolutely sickening to you but it's the way it has to be this year with the baby coming so late in the season. I'll have my hands full juggling the two of them so I didn't want to worry about who I still needed to buy for!

But, I will continue to post this series, hopefully on each Monday for you. I know once it gets closer to Christmas, more of you will be looking for help finding items!

As a switch today, not only am I opening up the links to items you can't find BUT...if you have a great Christmas gift idea or a great crafty item that would make a wonderful gift, please leave your blog link or a comment. Call me old-fashioned but I truly love the homemade gifts better than the store-bought ones, overall.

Hoping to hear some great ideas from you this week! Your idea might just make my Top 5 on Friday! :)

Christmas: Can't Find Series

So here is this week's posting for the Can't Finds series. If you have any items that you are needing for Christmas presents that you are having a hard time finding, please feel free to leave your blog or a comment and we'll help you out.

This week, I am looking for something to actually put on my list. For my first Mother's Day last year, Rich surprised me with a Dell laptop computer! Since then, it's "home" has been a small wooden TV tray, which has worked until recently. I'd actually like a very small desk for it. Just something that has enough room for a mousepad and a place to set a pencil/folder holder. I haven't been able to find one that is small and under $ 70. And I don't want one more expensive than that.

Have you seen anything online or at a store that might fit this need?

Thank you to Dani and Darlene for their children's cutlery findings last week!

Make sure and post your "Can't Finds" so we can help you out, too!

Christmas: Can't Find Series

The most frustrating thing about Christmas shopping can be knowing EXACTLY what you want to buy someone and not being able to find it or not being able to find a good deal on it!

So I thought I'd start up a weekly series called, "Christmas: Can't Finds" until the holidays are over. This is just a place for you to seek help from all of us on something you...well...can't find. :)

Here's mine:

When we were growing up, my mother had this miniture fork/knife/spoon set that we all loved using during mealtimes. I really wanted Nathan to have one of his own and all I can find are the ones with the plastic ends. I'd really like to get him a set he can pass down to his family later. So if any of you can recommend a set or know of somewhere that has a good one, please let me know!

Please leave your "can't finds" under Mr. Linky or in the comments field for help. Next week, if I see some unresolved, I'll put them directly in the main posting.

Happy Shopping! And Thanks for the Help!
