Winter Can't Stop Us!

Chicago was blessed with about a TON of snow this past weekend! It was the first big snow of the season, but it didn't stop Chica's from hitting up State Street and Michigan Ave. for some semi-last minute holiday shopping. I even found myself having some hot flashes in Macy's after coming in from the snow and getting a wee bit overheated while trying to fight the crowds in my goose down coat. After Macy's I headed down to H&M to pick up a few good trinkets for some folks who have made my "nice" list for the year. They had some fly gift boxes and bags, gratis, to take that sometimes arduous task of gift wrapping off your shoulders this year . What's even better is the comprehensive list that one of our favorite ChicaGoGetter's, Astin, pulled together. She has compiled the contact info and locations of area businesses that just may have the perfect gift for someone on your list (I personally reccomend checking out Solemates and Soul Salon Spa for great gifts and gift certificates!

XOXO,
