I have a hard time too because I hate spending my $$, on little crap. Any suggestions for stuff that isn't a waste of $$.

Sorry, if this is in the wrong place! I am looking for any coupons, for build-a-bear. I have seen the $5 off any animal...but we just need clothes and accessories. Hopefully someone has seen something!! Thanks guys.....

HeeHee...guess we were typing at the same time!!! Great minds think alike...:D:D

Just Google target toy coupons. I think it is the first one that pops up. Click and go to Hasbro toy offer. (Mattel is there too but only a couple of games.) Now go straight up, to where it says media maniacs and click. Then you can pick which one you want to print. I also found a peelie while I was at Target too. It is for a rebate for games. So I will get another $7 back by mail! For that price I think I may get some more for b-day party gifts!!

Hi guys!! Was going to post this in the Target thread...but if you are not a regular reader, you might miss out!! This week Target has a bunch of board games on sale. There are also $5 coupons on their website. I got Guess Who extra...and Littlest Pet Shop Monoploly for $10.99 each!!!! These are both at W-Mart:yuck: for $24.97 each!!! (I think Guess Who looks so fun!! Can't wait until Christmas day!)

Thanks for trying anyway jellybeansss....I know we all can't wait!! All I can say is who are of these RUDE newbies. Chill out people....an honest mistake!!! Good grief.

We are a Gap family. Their snowsuits, snowpants, winter boots, hats....and everything else. I have only been disappointed once, with a pair of winter boots DD9 had...they didn't hold up. DS5 loves the pants because they don't have snaps and he can do them up at school himself.

I think there are about 15 of us this year!!!:D We all start usually in the same spot..but then branch off and then meet for breakfast. We discuss our deals and then head off again!! The area we are shopping in, has everything in a 2 block radius...so we are basically just back and forth across the road. We will shop til' about 4pm, get a hotel and head of in the am, for another 2 days of shopping, in a different area. Can't wait........

I have seen these blankets done and they are really cute. Do you just place the fleece one on top of the other....fringe them and then tie the fringe together?? The fleece will stay in place? Or do you have to stitch across the whole blanket a couple of times? Do you understand what I mean:rolleyes:??

My DD9 has hundreds and has been collecting since they first came out. They always have sales between now and Christmas. BUT just go early...they sell quickly when they are on sale. Good luck...they are sooo cute!!!

Thanks so much!! This is just what I was looking for!!

Even if you don't get them on sale, they are worth the $10-$12 that you pay for them. They are awesome, IMO. I would however, like to find a sale on the accessories!

Exactly. I know you hide him, around your house....but can someone please help? I know I read about it somewhere...but I can't remember! Thanks guys!

I got really cute personalized tags off of e-bay if you are interested!! They are waterproof and whimsicial!

I just checked out their website...and I am soo jealous! We don't have one near us either!!

My DD9 has several...but the Panda is her fav. too! His name is Noah and he goes everywhere with us. Eats breakfast, has a bath, gets dressed (in his own Webkinz clothes).....drives me crazy sometimes!!!

Oh...I like that too! If anyone finds anything like this (for less than $400) please post it!!! I want it for me...

I LOVE Christmas. But I think, adult gifts are kind of silly. Of course, I buy for my parents and my husband...but I think most adults, have more fun watching kids open stuff!

I wonder if anyone could make you one. It can't be that complicated....basically a box with 2hinged doors? Is any of your family handy??

What about a dart board cabinet? Instead of the dart board, you could put a cork board on one side and screw some small rubbermaid type bins in it. You could even paint the outside with chalkboard paint.

School supplies still 30% at several Mich. stores today. LOTS of clearance in every aisle....but it was all only 30%.

I was going to make the hot chocolate last year. By the time I added up all the ingredients it was less expensive to buy two super large containers already made at Costco or Sam's. We put the HC...layer of chocolate chips and then the mini marshmallows. We tied it with some raffia and put a little ornament with a little string tag with directions. They were really cute!!:D:D

The kids and I, made these last year, for both of their classes. We used regular rectangle shaped bags and folded each corner up onto the back and just attached a bit of clear tape. I was looking for the cone bags too and couldn't find them. So, I had these bags from another project and they worked great!!! Just make sure you don't buy the type with the gusset. They were a huge hit. They had hot chocolate, chocolate chips (white and choc.) and marshmallows....and a snowman ornament tied to the outside!

I always like to give items that they can keep at school too. This year I ordered personalized notepads, off of e-bay. They are sooo cute and were $3.50 each. Great deal...they have a little cartoon pic of the teachers head, and they say "A Note from Mrs. Smith". Super cute and a unique gift. I also got a blank notebook to put with it from Target. It is covered with buttons and was really funky. Just something they can keep in their purse for grocery lists, or whatever!

We had ours for a season and a half. We were so careful not to poke a hole in it, then it ended up getting "broken" down by the sun. The interior plastic cracked and broke up. Ours was only $149, it was the first year they came out and they really only offered, the basic model. There are some really fun looking ones now. BUT that sucker got used, daily, by every kid that came near the house!! Well worth the money, as a matter of fact, we bought a new one as soon as the old one broke!
