Shopping the post-Christmas sales is a bit of a guilty pleasure for many. I mean, after opening a bonanza of brightly wrapped boxes the day before, who can really claim they need to buy anything? Now, if your holiday cache consists mostly of those thin plastic squares known as gift cards, then you can be forgiven. (However, the person who gave them to you will not be. Talk about thoughtless.)
This year, I decided to shop online on Dec. 26 at one of my fave retail sites: crateandbarrel.com. I sneakily thought this would allow me to get an early start since the sale would likely hit the site at 12:01 a.m. I loaded up my cart with goodies and waited for the witching hour. It came and went with no sale. I foolishly went to bed and when I checked the site the next morning just about every item in my cart was "no longer available" online.
This is the price of greed.
I ended up at the mall, where I was able to fight off the crazies and score several rolls of the Marimekko gift wrap.
