shopping mom

I was looking at TRU Big Book today and saw two of the kitchens you mentioned. Thanks for the tips.

If you have a hard one to diguise a Dora wrapped gift might keep him from shaking the package when your not home.

I use both paper and bags, but I like the paper best. I always buy it after Christmas for the next year, bows and tags too. I like a variety of colors and themes and just pick what I think is pretty.

I want one or two of these also. Thanks for the tip I will be looking as well. Has any one seen the Fisher price zoo Walmart is offering on BF?

My 17 year old wants an ipod too. I talk to one of the workers at Best Buy and he said they would not go on sale. Does he really know?? If they do I will be one happy mom ( As long as I get one)

My 2 year old got a my first leap pad last year for Christmas and it is a great product. I researched the one listed at Wal-mart by reading the parent reviews on the Toys-R-Us site, and it got bad reviews. I would still stick to leap pad products.

I usually watch the first one on Black Friday afteer I get home and I am to tired to do anything else.

Our oldest 5 kids are 21,20,18,17, and almost 15. The youngest will be 3 in March. It is really a lot of fun to be able to toy shop again!! Whenever we shop she wants to see the Magic Glow Doodle Bear, a bike, a shopping cart, and blocks. She has a MY First Leap Pad and plays with it every day. I am thinking about get her a kitchen. Any Recommendations?

My kids know that I do all the Christmas shopping, except for 1 gift. On Christmas Eve they get a gift from their dad. He goes shopping (which he hates) and even wraps it himself . The kids always look forward to that gift. Our oldest is 21 and asked me the other day if dad was still going to get him a Christmas Eve gift.

My favorite is the older version of Miracle on 34th Street

I do stocking fr our parents and I wrap those, but I do not wrap the kids stocking stuffers

We usually put themout as they are wrapped, but we leave one gift unwrapped next to their stocking. As the kids got older they began to be able to shake the packages and could guess what was in them. The grandmas and I did not want any pre-guessing so one year we assigned each child a color and wrote the color on the package instead of a name. The kids found it funny, no one knew their color until christmas morning.

A fews year ago my daughter and I were at Best Buy. We had found most of the things we wanted and had gotten in line. About 20 minutes later we found out the line we were in went no where. how it got started I'll never know but my daughter and I always remind each other to be sure we are in a line that goes somewhere
