@BornToShop Hi, good to hear from you. I'm ready to get going with CIJ. Bring it on. Yes, we have been through a lot of these shows AND bought a lot too. I hope to stick with a few special pieces this time around if they have some that I just have to have.
@lucymo, your attempt to “just have to have” will be my hope as well! Based on the past CIJ’s, we all know what will happen, lol. I made sure I wasn’t working that weekend. I usually set my alarm to watch the midnight on shows. Not sure if I will this year! Who am I kidding?!?!?

@BornToShop I won't be able to watch much tomorrow as we have an event at church. It seems everything is working against me watching CIJ. I'm thinking that's an omen. lol. Did you notice there were no Reindeer in the sneak peek? Valerie always brings Reindeer but unless she's holding them back, not this time.

Just remember if you miss the BIG CIJ shows this Sunday -- for the next 6 months you still see it everyday on Q (except for whatever sells out, of course) and for a few dollars more as the CIJ prices are rarely a big price cut.

I did see the pre-sale for the big nutcracker TSV -- yes $30 off but $25.97 to ship -- ridiculous (would be nice if the CIJ tsv kick-off could be free s/h) Then add on tax another $10.00 or so -- where is the savings???

I will tune in later in the day but I'm forcing myself not to "impulse" buy anymore home or holiday decor!

Enjoy

I will add that I got the oversized nutcracker dude in gold/ivory last year, and I must have ordered and cancelled it ten times trying to make up my mind. My mom finally said get it and she paid for it for my Christmas present.

I really love it (even better than the one they are showing this year), but the shipping on it changed over the course of the season.

The shipping on last year's was high like this, and at times, it (shipping) went way down. So there is always the possibility (and it happens often at QVC) that if you can wait, the price may be higher, but the shipping deal better, and it is actually cheaper to get the item to your door, than it was for the TSV.

Now I need uplifting prayers for strength please.

I saw the new snowman this year, in the gold/ivory, and though I have no place or need for him, I WANT HIM!!!!!

Just say no. Just say no. Just say no.

Somebody here buy him, and I'll store him for you! LOL

@Mominohio LOL. You'll store him on your front porch. lol. I hope we can all be strong and resist buying what we already have too much of. I didn't see a thing in Valerie's sneak peek that I need or even want. It's nice but I have most of what I like already.

I heard her say that she was going to Maine and wouldn't be back to the Q till August so maybe she will have something later this year.

@Gran Gran of two Oh, Valerie will have plenty of stuff between now and Christmas. But, she will have Harvest shows next, I think.

@lucymo I saw reindeer in the sneak peak, just not listed for sale, and it looked as if there was a cardinal on the back of the one that I could see well.

@lucymo I think when she comes back in two weeks, that will be Christmas.

@mousiegirl I like the more elegant ones. I do have some witrh animals but don't need too many of them.

@mousiegirl I was replying to her post that Valerie would back in August and I think by August it should be Harvest. I may get to watch Valerie's evening show today. I saw the listings and nothing that I need or want, so far.

Hi All. Was wondering if any of you bought the Bethlehem Lights Touch pillar candles last year??? I see they are onsale and was considering them for a holiday decoration that needs a candle. Several years ago, I bought holiday colors in the Mirage candles. They only lasted 2 seasons (and I only used them during the holidays) and then last year they died out on me. The BL ones got some mixed reviews but they are relatively inexpensive as far as flameless candles so thought they might be a good replacement since they are mostly seasonal use for me. Does anyone have any input??

Other than that, I really haven't seen much I'm overly interested in yet. Like most of you, I suspect the bulk of the interest will come in two weeks. Will be watching on and off today anyway as I'm cleaning the house just to see what's introduced.

I am really loving the Kringle Express Oversized, and especially that they are battery operated! I just don't have room. Maybe I'll get the smaller sized.
