    reasonable amount of gifts

    in 2015

    Posted

    I agree with the others, try to let the younger girls open in private OR if anyone makes a big deal about it, tell them they are adults and to GTFU....sorry for the language but give me a break. with all that is going on in the world, this is what they want to fight about?????

    Black Friday as family time?

    in 2015

    Posted

    I think its great! My family is large and we live very close together, so we see our family very often. We get together at Nanny's on Wednesday night, decide who is bringing what, show up at noon on Thursday, go over our final lists and then head out!!! its so much fun and we love it!!

    Ideas for a very picky 16 year old girl

    in 2015

    Posted

    My daughter is now 19 (20 in Jan.) she doesn't like coffee! I am surprised at how many young kids drink coffee! LOL!    

     

    Some things she liked @ that age:

    make-up and make-up brushes

    DVD's of her fave shows/movies

    New bedspread or comforter

    earrings (she doesn't wear much jewelry, Lacrosse player)

    Nike Sports Bras

    Books-any new book series OR Kindle Fires are now like $49 bucks this year! That is an awesome gift, I love mine!!!

    Finger nail polish and manicure set (usually real cheap!)

    soft PJ's

    board games-big hit with her and her brother

    Photo albums-we always have loose pictures around that need to be put in albums! 

    any type of accessories for their phones!

     

    and my daughter loves school supplies! New pens, paper notebooks, folders, stapler, electric pencil sharpener

     

    Now that she is off at college, some of this stuff has really come in handy! 

    Where do you find Angel Trees at?

    in 2015

    Posted

    Our Kroger's has a tree and my place of employment does one for our own employees/families that may need extra help.  My office also sponsors local foster children. I am sure your Chamber of Commerce in your area could help your find someone in need.

    Our paper has a "supplemental" paper that goes out each Wednesday with sales papers, well today, it had the sales papers for BF:

    Kohls

    Lowes

    Tractor Supply

    Rite Aid

    WalMart

    Kmart

    and I already got Belk and Bass Pro shop in the mail, I guess because I have those store credit cards. (I also have a Kohl's card but no sales ad was mailed to me)

    My daughter took German in high school as her foreign language, and the teacher told them about this tradition. I have seen many pickle ornaments over the years, but never knew exactly what they were! LOL

    chrismas morning .. dig in tree or organized

    in 2014

    Posted

    When I grew up, (only child) All presents were opened Christmas Eve, and then I got a SANTA gift and stocking on Christmas morning! Everything is wrapped.  My DH said that they always had different wrapping paper from Santa (which had Santa on it, always) but he also opened the majority of gifts on Christmas Eve.  We do an organized opening, where each person opens all their gifts. Any way is good!!! 

    Favorite Holiday Commercials

    in 2014

    Posted

    I love all of those! But I guess my favorite was Ronald at the skating rink, that one was from my youth, so it has stuck with me too.  I also love the Publix Thanksgiving commercials with the salt and pepper shakers! 

    Has anyone purchased tires on Black Friday before?

    in 2014

    Posted

    Ok that scares me, my Jeep needs new tires, and I was hoping to pay a bit less. Can I ask where you're getting your tires from?

    I am getting them from a local Goodyear dealership. I could have paid less if I shopped around, but not by much. For some reason, Jeep tires are so expensive!!

    You have no idea what an arm and a leg is if you're getting 4 tires and an alignment for $675....I run 35" tires on my truck...they're about $400 each!!!  LOL

    UGG! I could not stand it!!!

    Real or Fake tree?

    in 2014

    Posted

    Real - just because when I built my house I demanded hard wood floors (we have dogs) and I always said if I have wood floors, no more fake trees!  It may not look the best, but we love it!

    Older kids

    My DS is 14 and he has asked for clothing, a new PS3 controller, and a bigger TV for his room.  They do get harder to buy for when they get older. I will probably pick up a gift certificate to the local movie theater.
