Gift Cards, by Bratprince

Everybody complains that gift cards are impersonal and tragic Christmas gifts.  Screw that.....give me a gift card any day.  Frankly, I hate almost any gift someone gives me.  I have particular taste and I don't want most things people offer me.  Even Gary doesn't choose my gifts.  I pick them out and he gets what I want. 

I LOVE gift cards.  Give them to me any time.  Fortunately, Gary's family did what I preferred and ganged up and gave me $150 in Amazon.com gift cards.  I know my way around Amazon.  USED is good.  You can get great things that have barely been touched if you know how to read the descriptions.  I just had as much fun as I did on Christmas buying all sorts of things I wanted!!!  All used...but gently.  I only spent $100 of my gift cards...so I still have $50 to spend on my beloved KINDLE.  Trust me...you want a KINDLE...you can buy one right here on my site...just scroll down on the right!!!

Just look at all the goodies I got for $100 on some one else's dime!!!

1:)  KD Lang's album Watershed!
2:)  Book:  The Romanov Legacy: The Palaces of St. Petersburg
3:) A respected biography of Edith Wharton
4:) An out of print biography of Marie Fedorovna (Nicholas II mother and the Dowager Empress of Russia .....I've wanted this one forever!
5:)  The White House: Historic Furniture and the First Families
6:) Fortune Hunters:  Dazzling Women and the Men they Married
7:)  Kylie Minogues album; Aphrodite
8:)  The Memoirs of Russian Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrov
9:)  GIANT..the three disc set from the movie
10:)  The movie; 'That Hamilton Woman' with Lawrence Oliver and Vivien Leigh
11:)  Standing Next to History:  A bio from a secret service man that served three presidents.

I'm happier than I was at Christmas.  I love gift cards.  You get what you want and these are things I wanted...silly or not!!! 

Yours, Bratprince
