Christmas $100 grab bag help please!



Recommended Posts

Okay so my family has decided to do a grab bag this christmas just so everyone receives a gift. The spending limit is $100-$110 I have no idea what to write down on my slip. I don't want clothes because im very picky with my fits, same goes with shoes. I don't want restaurant gift cards because I've steered clear of them for over a year now and I don't want to start going back anytime soon. I don't really neeeed anything, so I'm really stumped. Please please pleaseeeeee give me some ideas I'm literally drawing a blank.

AMEX or Visa gift cards. spend them on what you want, where you want.

Or, start a new collection of something that interests you.

Or maybe supplies for a hobby you have been wanting to try?

Fancy cosmetics?

Something for your house---new sheets, quilt, etc.?

Donate your gift to a special charity?

Pampering, spa, fancy bath products

hair styling tools (I have my eye on the InStlyer...that's why I mentioned it)

Body care products: Clairsonic, electric toothbrush, foot massager, nono shaver

$100-$110 will get you a full hour massage at most of the nicer spas in the city. I can never bring myself to buy a massage for myself, but if I get a GC for one, I redeem it immediately!

Is there anything "big" you've been wanting to get? A new bicycle, a flat panel TV, a WII fit, an upgraded computer? How about a girls weekend with some friends? Ask them to pitch in toward that.

Have fun!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
