Give a Christmas gift to your least favorite body part

I just wracked up the savings at Macy's One-Day Sale.

Almost everything is 50 percent off or seriously reduced in price. On top of that, I saved $15 off my purchases with Wow Passes I got from several recent Enterprise papers. Grab some of your back issues and get going!

While you're there, don't forget to pick up a little something for yourself. This week, I read a great tip in Melina Gerosa Bellows' "The Fun Book for Christmas." Bellows writes: Give a Christmas gift to your least favorite body part.

Hmmm, that means some slimming jeans for me!

What are you getting yourself?
