Seriously?

The other day, I was wandering through Target. Was surprised to see the store was still stocking items for Valentine's Day considering Christmas items were out at Halloween.

I turn down one of the aisles, and I see these empty,shoe-sized boxes with a slit in the top. Boxes for children to decorate as valentine mailboxes. Seriously? The kids have to have special boxes to decorate for Valentine's Day? What a grand, waste of money.

What's wrong with recycling or up-cycling or plain, old-fashioned decorating a tissue box? or shoe box? or decorating a brown paper, lunch bag?

I must be getting old.

  2. Ugh......everywhere you turn they want you to spend money you don't have on things you don't need! (The definition of marketing.) :(
