Hi, my name is Darcy and I'm addicted to HomeGoods! I said, I'm an addict. That is the first step, right? I went to HomeGoods the other day on my lunch break looking to feed my husband's disturbing addiction to candles. It's my secret place to find Village and Yankee candles at a fraction of the cost. I entered the store and was on a mission. I forced myself to only look for candles and nothing else. I wanted to fill our home with the lovely Christmas scents that we both adore this time of year. Damn, no good ones left. I turned and proceeded to head straight for the exit. I get literally 6 feet from the sliding door to lead me to my car when an aura surrounds a shelf at the front of the store. I'm immediately drawn to what is a display of nothing but baby stuff. There it is, the perfect present for Bryan from our Love Fern (aka baby). It's a gift set of a onesie, beanie and little socks all looking like a football. Look at the price and it's only $8 (reaffirming my love affair with this store). SOLD! Grab the 0-6 months and head directly to check-out. I immediately envision the note that will be placed inside the packaging:
Dear Daddy,
Doesn't matter if I'm pink or blue
I'll wear this outfit just for you!
I put it on the front seat of my car and proceed back to work. I get home and forget that I left it on the floor of the front seat. DH comes home and has to run back out. He grabs my keys and says he's taking my car instead of his truck. As soon as I hear my car start, panic strikes! SHIT...the bag's in the car. I know he would look as soon as he saw the store (thinking it was a candle). He heads to his dad's and then comes home. I immediately ask if he looked in the bag and he says yes. He even showed it to his dad!
One week to go and now the hunt is on again for something from our love fern.
What an adorable gift and the poem you were going to put with it is completely precious! He must have liked it if he showed it to his dad! What a pain that you have to go shopping again though.
