  1. I don't see them online at Walmart. They did have them in our store (Farmville VA) a few weeks ago.

    Maybe this explains why:

    According to an article at Forbes.com on 5/08/12 retailers CAN sell in store but NOT online. "Amazon, like Apple, sets the price and doesn’t allow retailers like Walmart to discount the product, undercutting Amazon’s retail store in much the same manner it undercuts those same retailers selling the Kindle. But it can bundle the device. At the time Target was kicking out the Kindle, Walmart was selling the basic eReader for $79 with $30 gift card incentive."

    Free - 2 Pack Mini Portable Amplified Speaker for iPods, MP3s and Media Devices. You pay shipping (approx. $4.99).

     

    Headphones don’t always do the trick. While it’s nice to sometimes listen to music in your ears, great music requires a loud booming sound that will annoy anyone within your radius, and force them to involuntarily tap their feet along to the beat. With these portable mini-speakers, you can transform any place you might find yourself trapped in, be it a doctor’s waiting room, a crowded car, or an awkward family dinner. Just plug these portable mini speakers into the standard audio jack at the top of your iPod, CD, or DVD player, and instantly upgrade your living and listening experience.

     

    The speakers operate on AAA batteries, providing a clear, amplified signal wherever your travels take you.

     

    Features include:

     

    Convenient take-anywhere size

    AAA battery amplification

    Standard 1/8" (3.5mm) audio jack works on most media devices

     

    1 Year warranty

  3. We have a similar situation. HARD to not be generous during the holidays but truly this is but one day out of the year. My kids are grown but have young grandkids and young neices and nephews. We've tried the kids buy for kids, grown ups have a bring a universal gift we draw numbers choose gift from pile etc. We are a close family but it's still very hard to get a gift for kids they really want and be reasonable in price. ($200 per kid...CAN I GET ON YOUR LIST??? hehehe) We're trying for the last couple of years to have a family gathering no gifts since we don't get to see each other frequently. Some are fine with it, some are not. I make sure I remember all the kids (neices & nephews) on their birthdays with gift or money, which most in the family do not do, so in my mind they are remembered on their special day and Christmas is for family sharing time and not gifts. Not a perfect solution and some are not exactly happy with it but it's as "fair" as I can do. Of course our at home family gathering (our kids, grandkids, spouses) all get gifts from us just not the extended family who we do not see on Christmas day.

     

    I sure do wish for a better way.
