Definately check out the Step 2/Little Tyke stuff. I wish I knew you were in the marker for a table w/ chairs as I gave it to my sister for my nieces. An added one for their playroom.
I don't like the wood sets though. They don't hold the test of time as well as the hard plastic ones (the Little Tykes/Step 2). Not the cheapy plastic ones. There out there too. My sister bought the wood ones and the first time her older son (only age 7) sat in it, the leg of one chair gave out. They can scratch and get chipped. Just my two cents though
wrapping paper. My Marcs store is where I buy mine every year. They have the big rolls for only .97 I bought Dora, Blues Clues, Grinch, regular holiday wrap for adult gifts, and disney princess.
TRU and Step 2 catalogue. (go to their website). I have had this set for over 4 yrs and it looks good as new. Since finding Magic Erasers, the crayon marks just disappear when my daughter decides to miss her coloring book
Do you want wood or hard plastic? My daughter has the Little Tykes table w/ four chairs and she loves it. Stands the test of kids. She has the pink and white set (don't think they make that color anymore) but they have new ones out. I think I paid $49.99. I love LIttle Tykes and Step 2. Both make them
If anything is easy to make I'll try it this year. I don't bake and not very good at it so the easier the better. Its weird because I can make dinner ideas from scratch and cook hard recipes for dinners, but when it comes to desserts, Im lost. I swear I could burn cupcakes. Hence why I bought them for my kids' Halloween parties. I could never understand that
At first I was think TRU, but electronics make more money on ebay. I would grab all the electronics I could (ranging from tvs, computer stuff, etc) resell what I don't want then use the cash to buy christmas and other stuff
If it was Walmart, I would open the tarps and slip whatever I wanted from them into a cart. Gather all my price match items too. Then go wait by the checkouts for someone to show up!
