I don't have a white elephant exchange this year, but I saw some great things at TJ Maxx for if I did! One was a balloon animal kit. It was $7.99 so I picked it up just because I thought it was funny. My husband and I played with it for hours! I plan to take it to my grandparents house for Christmas eve. I also found a great book called "Things Zombies Hate." The artwork is great! It's been on my desk at work for a few weeks and everyone loves to thumb through it.

I'm excited to give my brother George Strait tickets. He's been wanting to see him forever and I tried 2 different days to get tickets for him when they went on sale. He thinks it was a bust but I bought tickets from the secondary market!

I bought the camera and they've already shipped it! They're on top of things. Those that got it last year, how do you like it?

My local malls list Victoria's Secret as opening at midnight.

Does anyone know about Sephora in JC Penny? Will they have the same sales? JCP opens 4 hours earlier!

Got my eye on that Rebecca Minkoff bag coming up later today!

The stuff on sale at Victoria's Secret wasn't even their regular stuff. It's stuff made especially for Black Friday and it's much cheaper quality.

Each person has 15 minutes to order, then you have 3 minutes to add it to your cart if you are on the waitlist and another 15 minutes to check out once you add it. That's potentially 18 minutes per person so it can take a loooong time to go through everyone! Good Luck!

FINALLY got the Kinect Star Wars game. I waited ALL week for that thing! I also haven't been able to find it on sale anywhere else.

Finally got my Samsung Galaxy S 3 45 minutes later! Sprint's site was SLOOOOOOW. I had to abandon one Firefox session when it got stuck and wouldn't let me hit the "continue" button. I finally got it to load on Google Chrome and got it ordered.

Are you clicking the button that pops up? It has to be that button to get the discounted price.

Darn! It's the whole system plus the game. Definitely don't need that!

Hoping this Star Wars thing coming up is Star Wars Kinect! I don't want to have to worry about getting it tomorrow.

I went to Gap the other day and they gave me a flyer for their sale. This store will be open on Thanksgiving day from 2-6pm! The other one in the area will not be though, so it looks like only certain stores.

I love both of my Naked palettes! They are definitely worth the $50. Nothing else compares.

I just got the $329 Dell laptop! Getting it for my mother in law for Christmas. I clicked right when it popped up and it waitlisted me. I was #65 so don't get discouraged if you get waitlisted! After a few minutes a button popped up under it to add to cart. I think I had 3-4 minutes to add it and then 10-15 to check out. I don't remember exactly!

I remember people saying last year from about 3-6am Target was dead. Looks like they're trying to get people to come back a second time. They are also offering a $10 giftcard when you spend so much on clothing, home, and something else and it's only available after 4am.

I love the hustle and bustle! It really starts to feel like Christmas.

I'd much rather have a better selection over cheaper prices. I cannot WAIT to see the Neiman Marcus for Target stuff!

They don't go on sale much because of the charity aspect. You buy one and that also pays for a pair for a child in need. I occasionally see a few pairs on sale at a small boutique here in town, but it's usually only a few pair in bigger sizes.

I went last year and it was craaaaaaazy. It looked like they had just taken all of the shoes from the back and put them in a huge pile in the middle of the floor!

I wish they would have opened earlier. I needed something and I ended up just going ahead and ordering online because I didn't think we would be out until 4am but I would have much rather picked it up at the store. Turns out we were still out and we stopped by but there weren't that many people there.

I LOVE wrapping presents so I usually try to drag it out as long as possible! I wrap as I buy though and I spread out my shopping through the season. It makes me sad when I'm all done!

I saw LOTS of babies. I was so shocked. If you can't find a sitter you should stay home. There were people trying to push strollers, carry baby carrier things, and let their kids walk. It was ridiculous. I love shopping as much as anyone, but there is no way I would put my child in that position.
