Mom Don’t Read This

10 Dec

Mom, don’t read this post.

It will spoil your Christmas.

I’m warning you.

If you are my mother, you’d better not be reading this.

Okay, so I’m doing the 12 Days of Christmas for my mother this year. She’ll open a present every day beginning December 14 so that she will open the last present on December 25.

I love this idea for Snuggle. Isn’t that a cute, practical gift? I wish I’d seen it earlier. I only need one more gift.

Mom wants eye primer. You know, the stuff that keeps your eyeshadow from creasing? Does anyone have a good (cheap) eye primer they could recommend?

Here’s what I’ve got.

Hand warmers (My mother is always cold!), mascara, hand scrub, a nail buffer…
12 days
And these “Swanky Hankies”. Aren’t they cute?

This one’s a family joke. My mother does not like salmon, but for years a relative gave her cans of salmon for Christmas. I’m not really sure why.

Are you finished with your Christmas shopping?

    My mom swears by Mary Kay’s eye primer. I don’t know how much it runs, but she says it is the best. :) Sweet idea.

    I LOVE this idea! I hope your mom doesn’t read it!
    We are totally done shopping, not done wrapping yet.
    Have a good day…

    I tried Clinique’s eye primer and I did NOT think it worked too well, so don’t get that one. :)

    Very cute idea- I’m nowhere near organized to do a 12 days of Christmas. I’m sure your mom will love all of the gifts!

    I just got the eyelid primer from E.L.F. cosmetics for just a $1!!!!! so smooth…I love it. some retail stores (Meijer and Target) carry limited ELF products–but otherwise you have to order. Sorry, it may be too late!

    Great idea! I’m totally stealing it! Love the Swankie Hankies . . .
