Glade You Had Gifts

Unexpected people always seem to find a way of ending up on your Christmas gift giving list. Not that you don't love and appreciate this people, but they didn't exist at this time last year. You know who I'm talking about: mom of the boyfriend you recently started dating; teacher who gets your daughter off the preschool bus and walks her to her classroom; the new lunch lady who just started working at your work cafeteria.

But what do you give these people? They're not your BFFs -- and there's a chance [[breakup, kindergarten, new job]] you won't see these people next Christmas. So you go to the gift stockpile, attach a bow, and you're set.

This week [[ending 09/05]] you can add another gift to that stockpile box -- and a couple bucks to your ecb stash.

The Fragrance Collection by Glade items are $6.99 at CVS this week and giving back $6.99, so it's free. But, if you head over to Red Plum's site, you can print a $3 coupon for The Fragrance Collection. Yup, you just made three bucks.

There are these giant soy candles that you can buy ... but they're not as nice to give away as a present. You can also pick up a reed diffuser, which is pretty much the perfect "I want to let you know you're appreciated but I don't quite know you all that well yet" gift. It's like body lotion -- just completely not lame.
