Are you still doing Christmas shopping for others and for yourself? Now you can do good and save money at the same time (I love that combination). I just learned that Banana Republic and Goodwill have teamed up for a special--bring in a gently used sweater to BR from 12/6 to 12/12 (next Wednesday) and you can get 30% off BR merchandise, excluding 100% cashmere items. The sweaters you give will be sold in Goodwill stores.
I'm seriously behind on my Christmas shopping...chalk it up to poor planning this year. Things are just not as easy to schedule when you're working long hours. Makes for an interesting write-up on shopping strategy, though.

Mission Statement
Monetary conservation and purchasing decisions are not exact sciences, and neither is "Style," but there are theoretical underpinnings. I'll try to express them as best as I can.

Wow, that's an amazing deal for very little effort on the consumers part. I always have a donations bag at the ready (keeps things from getting cluttered), I'll have to dig through and see if I find anything that'll fit this description.
Thanks for the heads up.
You are always shopping for presents huh...
Hope you'll find something from your donation bag, Ambika.
Eli--I feel like I'm shopping all the time but finding nothing. Grrr...
