Bargain Hunting

I am hoping to finish my Christmas shopping early this year and I started by getting the gift for close friends and my boyfriend's parents. I bought 6 sets of these postcards and I am going to get nice frames to frame them.

I am really not buying many expensive items online, however I do like purchasing smaller items (3-5 dollars) that catch my eye. My most expensive purchase lately was my wallet. I have been looking for a wallet for two months, so when I saw the perfect one I went for it.

I am waiting on the following things:

i) An Alice in Wonderland pencil, in purple my favourite colour.

ii) An Alice in Wonderland pencil case from eBay, which I have been eying for a while. Shaped as a shoe, with white canvas and silhouettes done in black and white of Alice and many other things from the story.

iii) Kawaiijapanshop order, two sticker sacks

iv) Xmas postcards, 6 sets

v) Charm to make a key chain for my school bag.

I have to stop myself from buying the last set from the Fairy Tale World stickers that I need as they are on sale. But, I have a budget I need to stick to. Anyways all those items were under 5 dollars except the postcards (16 dollars for 18 postcards) and the pencil case (9 dollars).

I was bidding on a game on eBay for my boyfriend. I actually forgot about it when I was out that night. Before I left for the night I raised my maximum bid to what I was absolutely willing to pay. I was outbid and I am completely fine with that. Someone else was willing to pay more then me and the total they had to pay was quite high. One day I'll find it for a good price. I always say when I loose an opportunity to buy something at a cheap price I eventually find a good deal on something else I am looking for.
