Got a mother-in-law on your holiday shopping list?

They can be tough to buy for, huh? Well, I think I have just the thing...

You know I'm a fan of the SmartTalk Series, as I've blogged about it quite a bit in the past. The cruddy thing was that you could never get single tickets before. You had to shell out your hard-earned money for the whole kit and kaboodle.

But not any more. I just heard from the event organizers that they are putting single and 3-pack tickets on sale this season. Tremendous! And just in time for holiday shopping...

Now if the entire series appeals to you, you are in super duper luck because DesMoinesFamilies.com readers have been given a whopping 20 percent discount on selected seats.

To take advantage of the discount, call 515-246-2300 and give them the code SANTA when ordering. You can also do this in person at the Civic Center Box Office downtown. (Sorry, the code isn't available with online orders...).

Happy shopping!
