shopping mom

I do wrap stocking stuff for the adults, but I do not for the kids. My husband likes to see what the kids are getting in their stockings so I buy it and he stuffs them.

To my mom and dad. My parents are missionaries in Bolivia SA, but they have been home for Christmas the last two years. They adopted a boy and wanted get his US citizenship. They are going back in July 2006. So I won't see them for 2 years guess I'll have to start mailing again.

If any one is looking for a Smart Pot Kohls has them for 27.00 reg 44.00. Plus they re doing the extra 15%, 20%,or 30% if you use their charge ( I'll use it and come home a pay it online.) I amMonday to get my moms

I went to costal edge yesterday and bought my brother a pair of Tennis Shoes. The ones he wanted were 103.00 on sale for 52. but they also gave me $25 towards my next 50 dollar purchase.( I think you get 25 for every 50 you spend toward a future purchase) They have a lot of skateboard shoes for teens, clothes jewelry,and skateboards. The 25 is not good until Nov.27, but I still think I will use it. I do not know if they are on-line but maybe.

Their list are really to long to type but here are some of the basic things they have asked for Son #1- jeans, work boots, a portable basketball system Son #2- GB with games, car stereo, leather coat Son#3- board games, kitchen appliances(he just moved in with the other 2) a vacumn, and a printer for his laptop Son #4- Ankle weights, medicine ball, chin up bar, computer game and joy stick, watch, PS2 memory card, basketball, and clothes Daughter 1- ipod,(I wish) things for her car, clothes, shoes, jewelry, car stereo, and a volleyball Daughter 2- Magic glow doodle bear, check-up elmo, a kitchen, a desk, a bike story reader with books, blocks, a tape player with tapes, and maybe the Little Tikes piano on sale at TRU

I found quite a few things I am willing to go to Office Max for, but I am going to price match at Walmart first. Thanks for getting the ads. It has been a lot of fun to dream and plan what to get so far.

Maybe Dicks Sporting Goods or Sports Authority will have something when they come out, if you have those in your area.

I not only do the kids stockings but our parents as well. Anything goes in a stocking and I am always looking for bargins. Target had a bunch of stuff for 25 cents the other day and I really stocked up. Toothbrushes are traditional now, and favorite types of candy. I usually will put one nice gift with the stocking. My 20 year old was teasing me about never buying him an etch-a-sketch so there will be one in his stocking this year.

I have never been to Hecht's on BF, but through out the year they have great clearances. I was there yesterday and the 20GB ipod was 249. They had a sign up saying 20% off if you used your charge but of course the ipod was excluded. (I hate those words) I was hoping to get it for 199 which would be in budget, So read the small print on your coupons to be sure you will save the money you think you will.

My mom thought I was nuts too, until I convinced her to go one year. But now she is as excited about our big shopping day as I am. They are suppose to have company that week but she has already told them you can come if you want or stay at the house but she and my dad will be in a line somewhere early on BF. My boys call me crazy but they donot mind looking at the ads and making list.

I am still hoping someone will have a kitchen (not Dora), or an art desk by little tikes or step 2. If one of these goes on sale I will finally know what to get the 2 year old.

Will this machine be available on line? My mom wants a fax for her brother but we do not live near a Staples. Is this like the All in one at Walmart but with a fax?

I want the check up elmo, and the Gameboy advance for sure I would also like the appliances by proctor silex.

Since you seem to know where to find the BB bucks and coupons I will be around after BF is over.

I like Kohls the best, but Target is a close second. To bad the ads are not out yet it would be so much easier to choose. No matter which one you choose it will still be fun to spend it.

I probably have 15 rolls of wrap;no themes here. The tree is a collection of ornaments that have been in the family since who knows when, homemade and gifts from the kids. Most of the time I do not put names on the packages, but will write something like To the one who..... and name an accomplishment or a feature or a like or dislike. The have always loved figuring it out. I did make all the tags a color one year, that way they could not guess what was in them.

I have a dial up service. I am trying to get the 10% of Target Purchase but it will not display. I tried going to Targets web site but could not find the coupon there. Any suggestions??

I went to Sears today and found the kitchen they are advertising. It is for Barbies and dolls that size, not what I am looking for at all. I think the price today (24.99) is the same as the BF price.

The closest Staples is in Richmond, VA!! Will I be able to get these deals online? I have made my shopping list.

My dad went to Best Buy last year and was able to get two. The kids still love them and we have had no problems with them.

I am glad you worked it out. I wish my husband would take me shopping, but in his book that is nothing short of torture. Oh well, he has alot of good point so I'll forgive him that one.

There are some things I want there so I may go for it just not sure yet. I want to see all the ads

I am still laughing. I liked #13 the best.

In the ads I see three brands of the all in one printer scanner copiers, all at different prices. Which is really the better deal, when it comes to ink refills?? I have heard that some inks can be really expensive.

I noticed that Sear's ad for BF listed a First Kenmore Kitchen. I tried to find it on the web site and in the online wish book. No success. Has anyone seen this? Is it worth the money or should I go For Little Tykes? It is for a 2 1/2 year old. I can not get the ads to run for me.
