personalized embosser

Williams-Sonoma sells this nifty difty personalized embosser that you can use with stickers and foil tags, both of which come in several nifty difty colors. It's $40 for the embosser, $8.50 for 100 stickers, and $15 for 24 tags. I'm reaallyyy tempted to buy the "kitchen of ...." one because I think it would add a totally classy feel to any gifts that I give to people.

Culinary students get a 20% off discount in-store, but because they only sell this embosser online/via catalog, I tried calling headquarters and asking for the discount. I was desperate, even to the point of "if I buy it online and bring in the receipt to the store, can they give me money back?" They told me to try asking the retail store, which I did... The lady was super nice and said that although they've never done it before, I could try coming into the store and ordering through their computer system, which had that 20% off discount option... I would still have to pay for shipping.

In any case, this whole situation reminds me of the time that I spent hours and hours and days and days daydreaming and trying to get that Martha Stewart craft punch (which lemme tell ya, was TOTALLY worth it. I love it so much...)

But yes. I want this. Really badly.

OK. I realize that I sound kinda crazy caring that much about getting my 20% off discount, even if it only turns out to be $10. Really, it's the principle of the matter. If I can get a discount in-store, why shouldn't I be able to get it with products I purchase online?! Besides, if I get it for cheaper, I won't feel as guilty about buying it . . . =]
