Need a Christmas gift at 3am? No problem!

Typically around Christmas most stores have extended holiday hours. . .opening at 7am and closing at midnight. This year Macy's is taking it to a whole new level by staying open 24 hours a day, Friday, December 19 until Christmas Eve! While I'm not so keen on the idea of shopping in the wee hours of the morning, this would be a great way to avoid the holiday crowds.

Call your local Macy's to make sure that they are one of the stores participating in the 24 hour schedule before showing up at 3am ready to shop!

While you're at Macy's check out some of these great gift ideas for last minute gifts at a fabulous price!

For your Brother, Boyfriend or Husband:

Alfani Men's Coat

For your Dad:

Panasonic Noise Canceling Headphones

For your Mom:

KitchenAid Martha Stewart Collection

For your Sister/Friend:

Style and Co Ankle Boots

I want it, and I want it delivered!!!

I just stumbled across the most amazing game at Shop Intuition: The Fashion Rule's Game. Created by the Margaret Maldonado Agency, The Fashion Rules Game tests the players knowledge about what is happening, past and present, in the world of fashion, celebrity and design.  This very well could be the Monopoly for fashionistas! Hopefully Santa will bring me this for Christmas! 

According to Shop Intuition's website: " This fashion trivia board game will delight fashionistas and style tyros alike. Fashion rules is a unique, fast paced, smart board game built around the love of all things relating to style. The board game tests player's knowledge what's happening, past and present, in the world of fashion, celebrity, design. Fashion Rules was created by the Margaret Maldonado Agency - the West Coast's most esteemed agency for wardrobe stylists, hair stylists, makeup artists, photographers, and up-and-coming designers. Includes four shopping bags, collectible high heels, scissors, sunglasses, mirror figurines and golden dice."

Of course the game comes with the semi-hefty price tag of $100. . . and as of yet I could not find it available on Amazon.com. I hope the game doesn't disappoint!
