Guest Blogger of the Week: Lisa Cocuzza of Itsaglamthing.com




Guest blogging season has begun here in the bargain zone! We'll start off with the Diva of Glam, herself, Lisa Cocuzza of itsaglamthing.com to kick off this new and exciting prelude to holiday shopping with her personal insights on gift giving, both past and present. Thank you, Lisa for the following contribution!


What is the best gift you ever received and why?

I received a lovely oak jewelry armoire for my birthday this year. I accessorize with jewelry so much more now as my jewelry is readily available and easy viewed. I discovered that I had more jewelry than I imagined. I took jewelry out of boxes, bags, small jewelry boxes, dresser drawers & more. I laid it all out on my bed and then organized it all into the armoire. I enjoyed rediscovering so many beautiful pieces that I forgot I had!

What is your favorite gift to give and why?

I love to give spa gift certificates. I always include a small gift with them, something to match the spa theme like a candle or a relaxing music CD. I enjoy giving a gift of some precious "me" time to the recipient.

Where are your favorite places to shop when no one else is looking?

I love spending a lazy Saturday afternoon walking the aisles of TJ Maxx!

Can you recommend a "must have" gift for women this season? If so, what is it and where can we buy it?

Reusable shopping totes. You can find some great designs at http://www.ecobags.com/ . They come in sets. You can separate the sets for more than one gift or give the entire set to one person on your gift list. I like the ECOBAGS Classic Color String Market Bags. They come in Red, Blue, Green, Purple & Black. The set of 5 is $32.50.
