A great idea

My friend Mara turned me onto this site and I think it's such a good idea, I had to share it!!

Each year I have some version of this conversation with my mother....
Mom - "So any ideas of what you or Chris want for Christmas this year?"
Me - "oh mom, it's so far off...I dunno."
Mom - "well, don't wait too long, you know I like to get shopping done early."
-- two months later --
Me - "Hey, I thought of something that's a great idea for Christmas -"
Mom - "It's December 4th Tamara. I asked for your list months ago. Your gifts are pretty much bought."
Me - Sigh. "I know, I know..."

The answer to this dilemma and many more.... Ta Da!!

It's an online registry system/wish list. You can start a list for your birthday, your kids, a shower, Christmas or Hannukah. It's not tied to one store and you can add or take stuff off whenever you want! When you see an item you want, just add it to your list so that you don't forget about it!

It's a great idea for your boyfriend, spouse, mother, brother, etc to be able to check in and see what you might like without having to ruin a surprise by asking you!

Check it out peeps!

I agree that this is a fabulous idea! However, unexpectedly, my blog achieved the same end-result this week. I posted about my *dream* first day of work outfit -- and today the dress pictured in the blog showed up at the house, thanks to my daddy!! WooHooo!
