the essence

How fabulous is this Black Friday site?

Let me back up for anyone who isn't clear on the terminology. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving & a HUGE day for shopping. Which also means it's a day for huge crowds in the stores.

I will admit that I have been one of the crazy people getting up before dawn in order to make it to a store for a good deal and/or free gifts. For a few years my family had a tradition of making hot chocolate before we left home & then we'd wait in line outside of Stein Mart waiting for them to open so we could get our free gift certificates.

Anyway, if you prefer not to go out in the crowds but still want to take part in some of the deals you should definitely check out the Black Friday website. I was incredibily pleased that on the front page of their site I saw a link for Ikea deals in Orlando. I absolutely LOVE Ikea and the new store in Orlando is just opening & it's the closest Ikea to my home.

For any of my family & friends living in the Orlando area you can check out the link on the Black Friday website & print out the form to win a $1000 gift certificate to Ikea!

If you don't feel like taking part in Black Friday you can try cyber monday. Happy shopping!
