What is it? Have you tried online? Like Amazon, or if it's a toy, Toys R Us, or Target, etc. all have online. Course, you'd have to pay for expedited shipping running this close to Xmas.
Good luck  IP: Logged |

LOL - well i was done with my shopping 2weeks ago. Only because my love and i are heading outta state for the holidays and we were to do a pre-xmas celebration with my family prior to leaving. But at the last minute i changed my mind on a present to give someone and ended up doing last minute shopping on this last Saturday. So we did our celebration yesterday and my shopping is all done. I am an early, yearly shopper. If i see something tomorrow for a friend or something i will buy it and hold on to it till xmas or their birthday or just because. See, for me its easier to buy for someone else than for myself. I almost feel guilty buying something for myself. SO i buy for others often. And i give gifts for no particular reason as well. I usually have all my shopping done at the least, 2 weeks before xmas. I cant stand the maddness in the stores as the holiday draws near. Its just a flippin zoo out there. I'm gonna echo what Nephthys said and tell ya to check online. Its gotta be out there somewhere. Ebay is great as well. *fingers crossed* that you dont drive yourself insane looking for this and it eventually finds you!! Ang- IP: Logged |

It is a special type of chocolate liquer, that is only available at a specific shop. I have been to 3 of these shops and they are all sold out.

Yang, have you tried substitute liqueurs?For example Carolans irish cream is a good substitute for Baileys... Here are some options: http://shopping.kelkoo.co.uk/b/a/ss_chocolate_liqueur.html IP: Logged |

and you've looked online? What is it called?you could make them a rain check and tell them it's sold out, but you will get this for them as soon as it is re-stocked. IP: Logged |
