Todd and I have found a way to make neighborhood convenience store owners very, very uncomfortable. Go into their stores and snap pictures of their products to post on a blog. I guess they haven’t heard of the term “free publicity,” because they acted like we were robbing them blind. Do they think a photo can steal the soul of a bag of chips?
Anyway, I wanted to do a post to make Christmas very, very easy, especially if you haven’t started yet. Simply stop in at the convenience store near your home (or near ours) and check off everyone on your list. Done and done!!!
I originally thought this post would be called “Christmas Shopping, Man-Style,” but I decided it was a little close-minded to think that lovely ladies couldn’t stock up at the convenience store, too. So here you have it, the easiest Christmas shopping you will EVER do!
We tried to shoot at 3 different stores. Our neighbors at the E-Z Mart on 600 N and 200 W in SLC were very nice and welcoming. However, folks at the Chevron on 300 W and 600 N were a little more skittish, they insisted on calling a manager for permission and only allowed us to shoot the side of the store with the porn, bongs and knives. Wonder why the Mountain Dew, Corn Nutz and Zingers were off limits? Kinda makes you think something illegal is afoot. And then we got full-force kicked out of the ABC Market on 1st Ave and around 200 E.
We’ve divided the items into several gift baskets. Everything you need to please your kids, mom, lover, friends and maybe even your boss.

Another good gift option is the automotive pieces and parts at the Chevron. Who couldn’t use a little washer fluid or a tire gauge? I’ll tell ya, if Santa gets me windshield wiper blades and a gas gift card, I’m a happy camper. Keep in mind that our E-Z Mart is open most holidays if you need a B-Double-E-Double-R-U-N. Happy holidays!
