This post is mainly for a free (pretty frugal, eh?) event in Arlington, MA to benefit homeless pets.

Don’t live in the Boston area but still want to give a gift? Please consider dropping off some of the suggested items (list below) at your local shelter, making a donation to the ASPCA or, if this just isn’t your cup o’tea and you need a birthday, Valentine’s, housewarming or some other type of present, visit one of my older posts for some great gift ideas or hire me for special sleuthing services! (Pssst! Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it!!!)

New Year, New Gifts! I am working on a little project and I don’t quite want to blog about it in it’s entirety yet because some people I know personally who visit the blog might be on the receiving end of said project. So, I’m just going to put some clues throughout this post and if you have any ideas about what my project is you can leave a comment on the board.

And, if you guessed that I’m knitting cardigans for everyone I know on my knitting board – I’m not that fancy yet!

Curious? Good! Come back to the blog to see what I’ve done. (posted next Sleuthing Sunday)

Happy gifting!

Happy New Year!!!

I hope that everyone has a really wonderful and safe New Year’s celebration!!! Please start the New Year out right – if you celebrate with alcohol, please don’t drive.

I am looking forward to making this blog better, day by day, throughout the New Year and I hope that you will come back again and again each and every time you need a gift for someone special in your life.

Happy New Year and Happy Gifting!
