Yes, I miss those things too! But I can appreciate them far more when my shopping is mostly done and I'm not stressed.
I miss the little gift shops that were packed with unique gifts- they never stay too long.

Those are nice. They even have some that are set up in the mall as well. The shopping I do online are only those things that I cannot obtain directly from a store. I love giving the local merchants my time and money instead...

It is an unfortunate reality these days. Sometimes I think the world is getting a bit to convenient.
I did hit Hobby Lobby on the 26th. We have recycled our bows for so long, that they needed a break... lol

I've thought the same thing about everything being too convenient now.It is an unfortunate reality these days. Sometimes I think the world is getting a bit to convenient.

I went to a few stores shortly before Christmas and pretty much all the Christmas stuff had been swept away for Valentine's Day- no good finds for me this year.

Same here. I guess I was a bit too late for the great sales...
