Cyber Monday is just around the corner, and everyone is prepared and excited! Hundreds of articles online are telling people what to buy and what not to buy—home decor, kitchenware, furniture, gadgets, and of course, Christmas ornaments. But as helpful as these articles are, anyone knows that a great deal can make you re-think all that decision-making! I know this all too well. Every year I stop myself from splurging on almost everything, but I end up going home with more than what I can carry! But every year I find that there are still so many things I didn't get to buy.
