Got Stocking Stuffers?

I am WAY behind on my Christmas shopping. But today I made some headway,with just one visit to Beat Street on Green Bay Road in Hubbard Woods. This store is packed to the gills with literally thousands of items for sale, most of which are for kids and most of which are small and inexpensive. In other words, perfect stocking stuffers.

I bought my daughter a psychedelic fleece throw with multicolored peace signs, a spy case, a voice changer, a Bronx Cheer noisemaker, a little sparkly jewelry box,  a tarantula that expands about 1000% when immersed in water and miscellaneous other items.  I was tempted to buy the remote control giant scorpion but I decided enough is enough.

One hour and $97 later, I finally dragged myself out of there.

So, if you’re still shopping for stocking stuffers or other unusual gifts, beat it over to Beat Street.
