Store Review: I was lucky enough to be personally invited to the store this morning  for a a shopping experience and I was highly impressed :-)  Take a look for yourself...

 Absolute Bargains is an independent retail outlet specializing in closeouts, buyouts and open box merchandise.

Don't miss the Christmas bargains's section, it's full of reasonable and well made merchandise! 

You'll never know what you'll find. 10 person tent only $160

Any of you who know me personally know my love for shopping is second to none, so I was AWESOMELY excited to hear that Hamilont has a BRAND NEW retail outlet store!!!  And I was not disappointed!!  You will not believe all the bargains, you can find at this awesome new store! Everything from high end bedding, Lego Tables, Kid's Toys, Scooters, Wagons, Tools, Electronic Equipment, Housewares, etc. The staff is super-friendly and helpful.

I don't know if I've metioned it or not, but I suffer from chronic OCD and I can't handle messy or dirty places, especially if I'm trying to get my shop on, but my first impression of this outlet store was: "Wow this store is amazingly neat and organized, especially for being such a new place!!

 The prices are great and DEEPLY discounted, especially on the high-end items.  I saw cashmere blankets for only $50!!!  It's a Cash-miracle!!! I strongly urge everyone to check this place out before the holidays and after!

MORE Pros:

• It's a huge store with the possibility of finding a lot of great items, but make sure you give yourself a good 1 hour minimum to go through the merchandise in the various departments.
• The store has a good layout and a wide variety of items for all family members
• Again, I can't stress the importance of a neat and organized store, which makes for a happy shopping experience.

Introducing..... Baker's BakeShop! Our newest and yummiest sponsor!

Are you still looking for a thoughtful gift for your neighbor, child's teacher or bus driver?  How about your co-workers, the postal worker, paper delivery guy or your hard working and under appreciated garbage man?  Baker's BakeShop has two terrific and inexpensive options exclusive to Erin's readers that will make those folks (and your wallet) feel treasured.  

For this Holiday Season;

• $5 cookie sampler; classic holiday flavors and our best selling cookies!  Each box includes two beautifully packaged cookie snack bags (six cookies total).  Three Chewy Molasses and the three Old Fashioned Peanut Butter.  The cellophane wrapped cookies are nestled in paper and wrapped in a 5" square box sealed with a hand tied ribbon.

• $10 gift box; includes both the Chewy Molasses and Peanut Butter Cookies along with a loaf of her award winning pumpkin bread.  All traditional winter flavors that pair great with a hot cup of coffee on a cold winter morning!  These items are also beautifully packaged together and tied up with a bow.

Fresh and 100% made from scratch.  Baker's BakeShop is a cottage food bakery that was born out of one Mom's desire to create tasty treats for her family free of all the weird ingredients you can't pronounce in store bought cakes and cookies.  After receiving so many compliments and offers to buy her naturally fat free & dairy free Angel Food cakes, she opened a shop (run out of her home) and now offers a variety of desserts made from premium fresh ingredients (no fillers or preservatives  & you can pronounce everything on the label)! 

If you mention Erin's blog when you place your order, you can receive a free Cookie snack bag for yourself!  As another bonus the order minimum for our readers has also been reduced to just $20.

Product Review: Hands down, the yummiest product review EVER!!!  Jennifer was kind enough to give me a delicious assortment of cookies and pumpkin bread for review, and there is only one word to describe them: YUMMO.  

Everything came beautifully packaged and the cookies tasted fresh and soft and scrumptious!  You won't be able to eat just one.  I sliced the pumpkin bread and served to the family for an after school and work snack, and there wasn't a single crumb left on anyone's plate! If you don't have time to bake over the holidays (or anytime :-) ) I HIGHLY recommend you check out Baker's Bakeshop for all your sweet tooth needs today! They would also make very easy gifts to bring to an event or bake sale!  I loved them!!! FIVE STARS FROM ERIN's LIST!!!!

*** Tarts are 2 for $1.00*** All are hand poured and VERY HEAVILY SCENTED.  To order please send me a private message, it is much easier for me to keep up with them that way. Thank You!!!!

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Scents-By-Dawn/126981744124810?fref=ts

Dawn was kind enough to gift me with a few tarts to try out in my own home, and I can guarantee, I will be ordering a LOT more!! I am using the pumpkin spice in my kitchen and the cranberry in the upstairs bedrooms and the entire home smells good enough to eat! These would make great stocking stuffers or gift for that hard-to-buy member of the family! Her prices are GREAT as well.  Thanks Dawn for sharing your product with us here at Erin's List!

Introducing...Jennifer Duncan-Dole with At Your Door!

Our newest sponsor is Jennifer Duncan-Dole with At Your Door!!!

Do you want to give a personal, handmade gift to your friend or family member? At Your Door can create wreaths customized for your loved one. Each wreath is wrapped by hand and adorned with buttons, felt flowers, argyle patterns or your team's logo.

Says Jennifer,

"I started creating these handmade wreaths as gifts for my family members who already seem to have everything.  Because they are handmade, they are each unique and customized for the recipient.  Each straw wreath form is hand-wrapped with yarn then adorned with felt flowers, argyle patterns, buttons or a team logo.  Pricing will reflect the fact that they do take many hours to create but can be available for Christmas if orders are placed soon. "

 

$40 for 12 inch wreath, $50 for $14 inch wreath, $75 for 18" wreaths.

 

If interested in a wreath, please email atyourdoorgifts@gmail.com to request yours. Also, check out her  Facebook Page at:

New Sponsor, Heavenly Designs :-)

Welcome to blog Shawna and Gail with Heavenly Designs!  Here is some info about their business....

Heavenly Designs is a family home business that creates personalized gifts for your special someone. We specialize in handpainted wooden Christmas ornaments and themed Christmas trees. Please browse our items and if you don't see what you are looking for please contact us. We love creating special orders and helping you make that one-of-a-kind personalized gift! 


Christmas ornament making began over 40 years ago when Grandma Idabelle and Mom Gail began making roll out clay handpainted ornaments. The process improved to wooden ornaments over the years to allow more durable ornaments that will last many years to become family favorites. The ornaments begin as blank cutouts and proceed through a many step process to end up the beautiful handpainted ornaments. Gail's artistic talent allows each cutout to be painted with great detail. Shawna and Rona add creative ideas and help paint whenever possible.

Product Review -- Shawna and Gail sent me the cutest ornament which is hanging front and center on my Christmas tree :-)  These would make great stocking stuffers and/or could be attached to gifts in lieu of a gift tag.  They are unique and affordable and well made.  I LOVE the sports themed ornaments, as well as the Disney ones.  Here are some examples of their products, which they will be advertising on the FB wall as well....

Another Christmas Sponsor, Suzanne Alice with Wine Bottle Snowman :-)

Our newest blog sponsor makes the coolest, most unique Christmas decor I have seen in a while....It's a WINE BOTTLE Snowman :-) This brilliant creation combines two of my favorite things, wine and Christmas!!!

Says Suzanne,

"The wine bottle is painted with acrylic paint and the cap is made out of felt. The cap comes off and you can enjoy the wine :-) The wine comes in Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet, Chardonnay and the cap can be done in any color felt or college or sports fabric. Once you have finished the wine, you can keep the bottle as a great holiday decoration. It is only $12 for the paint bottle and wine and it is $8 for an snowman bottle with no wine. Anyone interested can get ahold of me through Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=7727780

They are great to take to a party, give as a gift or just to have at home. The wine comes in Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet, and Pinot grigio. You can request any color for the snowman hat or even a sports team fabric and whichever wine you would like.! Please message me, if you are interested!!!"

Product Review -- This Santa went over HUGE at my house!!  This would be an awesome hostess gift for those going to holiday parties this year.   Ours is on our mantel and looks fantastic.  The best thing about it is that it's more of a winter decoration than a Christmas one, so even after the holidays you can keep it up for a few months.  I love this decoration because of it's one-of-a-kind style and it's use of recycled materials.  Order yours today for the holiday season :-)

Product Review:

Heather came over this week to photograph my daughter for our upcoming Christmas card.  I was blown away not only by her photography talent but also by how wonderfully she interacted with my VERY active 3-year-old.  Heather was very professional and time-efficient and it was so convenient that she brought her entire portable studio RIGHT to our home!!   She had a "sneak peak" preview of my pictures available less than TWELVE hours later!!  She is an incredibly talented photographer who produces beautiful work.  Here are some examples...

Product Review

I think this picture says it all.....

My daughter LOST HER MIND when she saw this zebra hat!!  It is VERY soft and well-made and I love all the detail she put into it with the braided ties and stylish flower on the top!  And besides looking fashionable and over-the-top cute, this little hat will keep her little ears toasty warm on chilly Autumn and Winter days. If you are looking for a perfect gift, or even a cute accessory for your child to wear in his or her Christmas card picture, call JoAnna!!! As you can see, my little one wore hers on Halloween and got TONS of compliments!!!  JoAnna's prices are FANTASTIC too. I paid TRIPLE what she charges for a similar hat when my daughter was an infant.  I give her products 5/5 stars!!!  Get yours today!
