Hallmark Holiday Gifting - Appetizer Plate Set

Ho, ho, ho-ly mackerel! There are only two weeks left until Christmas and I still have much to do to get ready. Okay, I will never be ready just like I have never been ready for Christmas since I'm such a procrastinator. Leaving things to the last minute has always been a fault of mine. I guess that's why I loved childhood so much. It was my parents' job to worry about getting ready for Christmas while all I had to worry about was begging them to let me open just one gift on Christmas Eve. Golly, those were the days! Now, I need to make sure that I have enough gifts for everyone, all the decorations are up and the house has had a good cleaning before hosting dinner guests next weekend. At least I've had some help with one of those items on my to-do list thanks to Hallmark Canada.

Hallmark Holiday Gifting - The Perfect Tree Snowman Plush

The Perfect Tree Snowman Plush by Hallmark - $29.95

For a special little one on my shopping list, I will be gifting the adorable Perfect Tree Snowman Plush that has a sign that lights up as the snowmen sway.

It also coordinates with "There's Snowbody Like You!" storybook, sold separately.

Hallmark Holiday Gifting - Rudolph Push and Play Techno Plush

Also available: Clarice, the reindeer and Bumble, the abominable snow monster.
