Sometimes you have those people who don't really want or need anything and they can be so hard to buy for... just like me. I always appreciate a gift card, especially when it is for something that I wouldn't buy for myself or to a store that I normally go to anyway. Here are a few of the interesting cards I've found today (many of them can be sent via email to make it easy to reach those far away or if you waited until the last minute):

It’s true, our little house on the pond is a wreck and I don’t know where we will put all of our guests that are coming tomorrow. Anybody else feel the same way right now?

The past couple of weeks have been super crazy. I guess everyone has been trying to fit everything in before the holiday season. Then we had the time change which is always so much fun around here… can you hear the sarcasm?

How To Properly Set a Table

Luscious Four Layer Pumpkin Cake

Published on November 17, 2017September 19, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog13 Comments

This is a reblog of one of my favorite holiday recipes…. I love this cake and I am determined to make it this year… I may even make it before Thanksgiving as I really want to enjoy it. It’s kind of hard to enjoy something so yummy when you are stuffed from all that turkey and other goodies from a big dinner.

Maybe this year we will kind of stretch out Thanksgiving a bit and have a few of our favorites throughout the Thanksgiving/Christmas season so we can enjoy them even more.
