Girlawhirl can hardly believe it, but it's already that time of year again: graduation season. The Class of 2008 is about to toss their caps in the air and enter the “real world” for the first time, so Girlawhirl is going to welcome them the best way she knows how, by shopping for gifts designed to make their transition a little easier...

Even though Girlawhirl and her sisters feel fully prepared for Mother's Day this year, she's still seeing so may great deals that she can't stop adding to the stack of presents for her mother. And she's happy to share these last minute deals and sales with Super Pals stuck in an 11^th hour bind...

With their customized gift in the works, now all Girlawhirl and her sisters need to do is find a few extras for Mom this year, some trinkets or other indulgences that they know she'll love, but would never splurge on for herself…

With Mother's Day not too far away, Girlawhirl's decided to slow down for a few minutes and check out some gift options for her mother that require a little bit of time now, in order for them to be ready when the big day rolls around. She's pulled together a few ideas to discuss with her sisters this week. Once they narrow it down, they'll each take a portion of the project to execute...

Girlawhirl's always the one who gets the “what should I buy - insert Super Pal's name here - for - insert upcoming holiday?” calls. And while she'd rather not field such a call in the midst of her Monday morning meeting, she loves that almost everyone in her circle of friends, including their significant others, asks for her assistance in the matter of gift giving. She can't think of anything she'd rather be ‘known for'…

Before her Super Pals start asking for suggestions, Girlawhirl's making notes and pulling together a list of guy-gifts for Valentine's Day. Some are fun - ok funny - and others are tasty treats sure to put a smile on any fella's face…

Bottom line: Girlawhirl spends more time with her co-workers than she does with her friends and family! And while this might not be her choice, it's a fact of life. Unless she works from home or manages to figure out that elusive flex-time deal, she might as well have some fun in the office. So this year, she's planning on showing her Valentine's Day love with treats all around…
