I went into Pat's Cards & Gifts last week to buy circus tickets for my little granddaughter and me. While I was in there I took notes on all the cute things she carries.

There were some seasonal things like jingle bell earrings, my baby sings the song to go with them " Ginko Bells, Ginko Bells"!! Ya gotta love it! There were letters to Santa...we used to have to make our own! Plus, lots of little gift ideas...perfect for stocking stuffers. Calendars, cute picture frames, guest books, and foot notes, they were note pads that looked like flip-flops.

There were baby tooth fairy boxes for boy or girl for $3.59. Wedding gifts, toasting glasses, and ring pillows. Sassy sachets that look like tiny dresses on tiny hangers, $7.99. Screw drivers and hammers for the woman who gets things done! In bright fun prints $6.99 and $11.99. Signs, now this is good---Never try to outsmart your Mother! Framed prints with clever sayings for Mom or Daughter.

Cute, fat, cappuccino cups that stood on four legs complete with the udders in spotted black and white. Stuffed olive candles, 99 cents. Welcome signs and tropical coasters. Decorated tiles for notes.Boutique charms purrfect for your favorite feline or coddled canine's collars only $2.59. Dog bones with a place for a picture of your dog. Key clip ons or eye catching jeweled magnets of flip-flops or martini glasses. Lots n' lots of angels. Religious things. Napkins and plates for the holidays, gift wrap and ribbon. Maxine...my favorite....A picture frame with Maxine looking down from the top saying "Don't cha wish you looked this good!! " A whole section of Maxine...a check book cover that says "I'm about 60% sure there is money in this account!" Old Geezer briefs that say "He's fallen and he can't get up!!!" Playing cards that say "Estro-Ginny."
