I was trying to think of what my teenage daughter would enjoy in a care package while she’s away at camp… prank kits, blow up balls and puzzles no longer seem to capture her fancy. So, I dropped into Cost Plus World Market and I think I hit the jackpot. I found her sarongs for wearing or decorating her room, a cloth fan {cool way to stay cool}, an exotic looking string of lanterns, some funky monkies, jewelry, a bag, and bindis….
I love bindis, while they were traditionally worn to signify the marital status of Indian women, they can now be worn by anyone who desires an extra bit of embellishment. I always check for them at Cost Plus, and I especially love what I found on this visit.
I like to bring them to parties to bejewel the foreheads of my girlfriends of all ages.
I was also pleased to find this great bag for myself, I am heading off to a warmer climate and this bag struck me as the perfect companion. Usually when I travel, I hope to find a beachbag and hat upon arrival, but this bag is the perfect color scheme for the clothes I’ve been packing and that chic tribal look is perfect for my destination. The price was very reasonable, so I figure if I find something I like more, I could get that too…
Psssst, guess what? I just checked and the bag is now on sale for $17.99 on line, click here to order.
This one is cute too, it’s on sale for $13.99, click on the name below the image to find out more.
