    Most unusual Santa requests

    in 2016

    Posted

    Ah, so that's why you're looking for a Christmas tree :).  Does she want a small one for in her room, then?

     

    I love it that she's asked for office supplies.  She'll be the boss of us all one of these days.

    Yep! That's why! She wants a full size one! And I'm happy to get it!--All my ornaments have been relegated to the back of the tree! 

    DD wants a guitar pick. She is 6. She owns a low-end hello kitty basic guitar. She picks it up and plays it for 5 minutes every 2 weeks. No one else we know plays the guitar.

     

    ...I have no idea

    I love it when kids ask for things like guitar picks! lol! Easy! Inexpensive! Kids have no idea the possibilities! ;) 

    Any gift ideas for a 9 year old girl?

    I feel your pain-- I'm buying for a 10 and 12 year old I don't know. But, I do know not all girls are girly. 

    I'd 2nd the m3p/ personal cd player posts.

    Experiment kits and spy gear.

    Sports equipment-- rollerblades

    Books- Serafina and the Black Cloak is worth checking out.

    Diaries and art supplies.

     

    I think I'm going to split my $ for each into 3 parts: gc to someplace like Target, a science/art/craft kit, and a book of games or board game. One of those has got to be a winner!?

    Black Friday Stocking Stuffers

    in 2015

    I try to buy stocking stuffers all year. I have 10 people to buy stuffers for and its easier to buy all year. I still have a lot to buy for stockings on BF though. I get so caught up buying gifts though that I don't as many stocking stuffers on BF as I would like.

    I totally agree! I have a little bin for DD and DH and I slowly fill them all year. When they're full, I know the stocking will be too....though, that doesn't always stop me! Stockings are the best part! :)

    Black Friday Stocking Stuffers

    My mom always put an orange in the toe of our stocking and a comic book. We had to peel and eat the orange and read the comic (and trade comics with each other) before we were allowed to wake her up! That tradition continues.
    There is always underware in the stocking. DD thinks it's hysterical. What is Santa thinking!?

     

    Like many of you, I stalk stocking stuffers all year long and stash them in a special container: Hair doodads, a book or magazine, a boo baby, gardening things (for DH). hand/foot warmers. Balsa wood airplanes. Gel pens. Eos lip eggs. gc for starbucks, barnes and noble, and target (usually the ones i've earned during the year or online deal ones). A video (that i cash Disney points in for). Rubics cube or small game (Spot It, travel sizes.) DD loves office supplies. Lego people. 

     

    I love stockings. :) I don't even mind doing my own! :) (Though, DH and DD each always put one thing in it.)

     

    I also love The Great November Purge. :) Which I impose on my family to make room for the Xmas (and birthday) stuff that will come. Getting rid of things you no longer LOVE is almost as nice as getting something you're looking forward to.

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    i can't find our elf. 

    he doesn't usually appear until next week--after dd's birthday...but i've looked in all my normal hiding spots and he's not  there. oh no!

    i think i need to buy a new one. if he doesn't appear next week, it'll be horrible. :(  

    (this is a reason not to start this tradition but that boat has sailed.)

     

    anyone see the elf on sale?

     

    the lowest price i can figure is 20% off the full price $29.99 at bedbath. yikes!
