What a day Mom and I had yesterday! We headed down with our rolling cart and credit cards in tow, and boy the Bizarre did not disappoint this year. I am completely finished with all of my Christmas shopping!! I even found something for my big brother, and the Bazaar isn't exactly geared toward men:) Mom and I arrived at 11:00 and we didn't leave until 6:45 the doors closed at 7! We took two quick breaks for caffeine and gobbled down some lunch but we were two girls on a mission, and we made out like bandits! We made two trips to the car (yes even with a huge rolling bag) and the parking attendants could not believe we kept going back in for more!
Here is a big picture of all the goodies I picked up, my mom took all of her stuff home but she got tons of adorable stuff as well! I stuck to my budget (well sorta!) and came away with everything I needed!
Little closer view of some items
And the other half
A mini list of the following boutiques i bought from, I got cards from everyone to let you girls know and you have specific questions, send me a comment and I will find out where you can get the item!Lisa's Unique Creations (we get tons of stuff from her every year)
-Big reusable bag in Houndstooth (maybe you know a Bama fan?) they had tons of colors and patterns
-Monogrammed Hot pink, green & black wine stopper-They monogrammed it for me while I shopped
-Nutcracker Hot Cocoa Mug-They also personalized this for us while we shopped
-Stretch large pearl necklace (My mom got a few as well, I have one and they are so cute to wear with everything-and they were so cheap!!)
-Stretch Silver necklace-this one looks so cute on
Grace Oliver First year we ever found anything from them and we cannot wait to get more!
-Beautiful two strand amber and gold necklace
-Missoni inspired scarf (I should have bought like 10 of these) they were so soft and really well made, plus they looked sooooo cute on
-Adorable wooden hand made & painted key chain balls! ( I got two!)

** She will customize anything for you in specific colors, I picked some up in Hokie colors, but these would make really really cute stocking stuffers or bridesmaids gifts-you could have her make you some in your wedding colors!!
-Precious little doggie Christmas cookies!
-I dont have any puppies but we have a couple puppy stockings to fill for family so I could only get a few things, but if I had a dog I absolutely would have bought everything! They even had mini chocolates:)
-I have a pair of Ugg slippers and these may very well be softer!
-I got a pair of Men's slippers and they are unreal! It is the softest sheepskin I have ever felt!
Truly Yours -I have never been able to find a website for her! I forgot to ask yesterday because her booth is always completely swamped!
-Four Ruffle Pashmina's-I bought a black one last year, and This year got my SIL and my mom a red one and I got mom another Camel one-They are soooo cute and they go with anything! I was in meetings last year in a conference room and this was the only thing that saved me!
-I have never seen anything like this around here so if anyone knows where to find them or what there proper name is please let me know!!
-The best smelling bags for your bath ever! It is like tea for your tub! You let them steep in a Hot bath and they release amazing relaxing aromas and tension relieving salts!!
-Mom picked up like 50 of the bar soaps in all scents!
-The Mango Tango "foamer" soap smells incredible and left my hand soo soft!
-Mom and I booked it to her booth for our first stop, because she always sells out!
-Fat Free peppermint sticks-Unreal! They melt in your mouth, are perfect for hot chocolate, you can stick them in oranges or lemons for decoration or to "minty" up your citrus for water or a festive cocktail, we give them out to everyone and people love them!
-3 kitchen srubbers-they are eco-friendly, biodegradable and they actually hold less bacteria than a kitchen sponge because of the natural fiber!
-A grill set with a Huge Wooden handle Virginia Tech "VT" on the spatula and the tongs
-For any college football team or tailgater you know this would make an amazing gift!
Whew... I am exhausted from so much shopping but happy to be finished:) I just have to wrap and bake and relax until Christmas!
