First, I should say it is *usually* just placemats & something seasonally appropriate in the center!

Right now, however!:

Priority mail envelopes (oops, too late now!)
Christmas bows
Tape
Tealight candles
Gift bag
2 Empty boxes that may come in handy!
Papers from E.R. visit for a middle-of-the-night earache (nice filing going on here this week, I know!)
A gift of a gold LED Christmas candle set
Assorted cute goodie bags waiting to be filled
Stocking stuffers!
Gloves
A wallet
Curl ribbon
A half-pilfered box of goodies that came by Priority mail!
A few receipts
More tape
Packaging tape
A few stray pieces of mail
...and a clump of dried flowers my cat chewed off of an arrangement!

Plus the nice placemats and a few seasonal items in the center...somewhere! Ha. :)
