What Makes Your Feel Warm and Fuzzy?

Wow -- I just found out about a great campaign that I thought you all might like!! 1-800-FLOWERS is kicking off their "Warm Fuzzy Feeling" campaign! I am a big fan of flowers. They are very appropriate for so many people and gift giving occasions!!

There are so many things about this time of year that can bring on the warm and fuzzies...everything from Christmas music to going out of your way to get that extra special gift.

Here are a few things this past week that have made me feel all warm and fuzzy:

E's K-3 Christmas Program.

The continued buying of others meals in the restaurant.

Spending the day with Hubby "Santa" shopping.

Hubby making sure that 2 kids from the local youth shelter have Christmas
presents.


Watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas" with the kids.







1-800-FLOWERS.COM has made it easy to share that warm fuzzy feeling this holiday season with their Holiday Gift Center!!


You can get in the spirit by sharing your warm fuzzy holiday stories online (Here),
by entering the Warm Fuzzy Holiday Family Vacation sweepstakes (Here),
by sending a Secret Santa on Facebook (Here),
or by sending a mobile greeting on your iPhone (this can be downloaded from the
holiday gift center).


After checking out 1-800-FLOWERS.com -- I just have to say-- OH MY Good Gravy-- they have some very cute Christmas arrangements!!


These are 3 of my favorites!!









As a part of recognizing Getting all my Ducks in a Row - I was given this cute badge for my blog





and the chance to send flowers to one of my loved ones. I chose to send an arrangement to Hubby's Step Grandmother -- She is one of the sweetest little ladies!! Since she lives all the way out in Las Vegas we don't get to see her as often as we would like and I really thought that she would get a kick out of something special just for her!!


1-800-FLOWERS would like to help you give someone that Warm and Fuzzy feeling too!!

They are offering my readers 15% off their next purchase through January 31st!!

Just use the Promo Code "WARMFUZZY"



I was not compensated in anyway for this post other than the ways that I have already described. All opinions are mine and mine alone!
