I have been refusing to purchase something online because of the price of shipping. It's $26 shipping for stickers. They are from the UK, so this isn't outrageous, it is just more than I have wanted to spend. I decided to gift myself these Love from Lizi stickers for Christmas. I also decided to purchase a $1 month Patreon subscription since I have been spending a lot more time at home in the last 9 months. I spend more on one month of car washes than I would for a year of Patreon.
What are you getting yourself for Christmas this year? Did Covid make you want to spend more or has it made you more thrifty?

I have a couple of pre-orders from ACOT that should be arriving in December. That's probably going to be it for me.

I thought Love from Lizzy sometimes had shipping specials. I've been watching pretty carefully for the last 6 months. I haven't given up quite yet. Maybe a Christmas/Black Friday special? Does the UK even do Black Friday? One of the YouTubers I watch gets them and it has made me want the stickers. I'd even be good with $10 off shipping!

Ohh share a link! www.lovefromlizi.com/products/peel-offs.htmlThey are just very thin stickers (think of glitter washi tape 1/32 inch thick). I have seen a few layouts using the sparkly white ones or the holographic ones and it just puts a little something extra on the page. I have used very thin glitter washi tape to get almost the same effect, but the peel offs have some different edge patterns that I like.

Still trying to figure out if we owe money to the government or not. We have some extra income until December 30 and if we do have to pay everything, we'll still come out a little ahead.
I want to get photos printed and plan scrapbook pages, and buy more adhesive. I'll make notes of items I'm low on or to buy for my pages. I'm trying to be more mindful about my purchases. I've been scrapping since 1995. I could probably not buy anything and be fine. It would also require me getting really creative. Sometimes I just want a cute sticker or diecut and not take a lot of time to make one stinking embellishment.

Is it 26 dollars for shipping stickers only?

If it worked out cheaper, I’d be happy for them to be sent to me, and I would forward them to you.

Does the UK even do Black Friday? Most of Europe do Black Friday these days, mostly due to it being imported by the different national Amazon websites. However, not all small, independent retailers follow it.

I've upped my Patreon amounts this year for some podcasts I follow but I don't consider those a "gift" to myself as much as giving extra support to these creators.
Besides that, I've not changed my spending habits much due to the pandemic. I'm just cruising along with my semi-minimalist principles, trying not to buy out of boredom or "treat yourself" attitude. I don't consider that I deserve something but focus more on whether I need it and whether there are better ways to spend that money right now.
My one Black Friday purchase for myself is a cute backpack and that's it. I'll see if there is anything I need from Kelly Purkey's BF sale but otherwise, I'm good for now.

For Christmas I want the best guillotine trimmer that I can find... still doing some research. I have been virtual schooling my kindergartener due to Covid and have spent too much this year! I will try my best not to get anything for Black Friday sales.

I will try my best not to get anything for Black Friday sales. So many different options and opinions on these. My current favorite is my Crafter's Companion trimmer. It slices perfectly every time. It is also accurate. I have had several others that sliced well but weren't accurate for measuring. I have heard that the Tim Holtz one was also good, but opted for this one after watching a video on how it was created. I found mine on Amazon and got it for free using my credit card points, so that was a bonus too.

I think a friend of mine also wants some, so we'll split it. Thank you for the offer though! I haven't sent things internationally, so I don't know how much it should cost but $26 seemed high.

Yep Kristie uses them every time steakgoddess uses them too. I won’t even entertain them with that shipping cost! Yes, I do use them! They are fun! I subscribe to her card kit and one arrives each month. I don’t make cards with the kit though. I scrapbook with it! She does do random free worldwide shipping on peel offs only sales randomly.

I’m buying myself new Gemini plates for Christmas. Mine warped and then it cracked last night. I need to do the Jennifer McGuire system to see if that works better.
Plus I think I read the Junior plates for in the regular if you turn them. Need to double check that because I might go that way.

Plus I think I read the Junior plates for in the regular if you turn them. Need to double check that because I might go that way. I use sizzix plates in both my Gemini( it was a gift) and in the Junior too. It works great!! I'm using the Hobby Lobby brand self healing mat and a chipboard pice for shim. I have been using the same plates for 2 years and no warping what so ever. I change the self-healing mat about every 6 months. If you buy it on sale its only $2.50 and you don't have to cut it for the Gemini, for the Junior you have to cut about an inch of.

Plus, you can add on whatever you want and it gets thrown in the box as well for no added shipping.
