I have my children (DS 15 and DD 9) just about done. My twin nieces are done (age 6)- thanks to Target's toy clearance. My nephew still hasn't told me what he wants (age 10). He isn't into much of anything so I will wait till I hear from him. Other wise he is getting money. Done with my parents. Still have to buy for my MIL. I'm thinking glade basket and a gift card. Teachers- done (each are getting a glade variety lol) Husband- DONE. Dogs DONE.

We "adopt" a family every year with several children so I shop for them on BF. Also for the mom/dad. Household stuff, etc. The last few years we have taken a family of 3-4 children with a single parent. Don't technically look for a family like that, but thats what we have gotten. Its so much fun to shop for little ones. My children are 15 and 9 so I miss buying the "toys".

Oh... They have so much New moon stuff! Anyone been in the store recently to see if they have everything there (instead of ordering online?)

Usually the day everyone puts up their tree is the day after Thanksgiving. Whats a day early! I would.

I know my TRU had TONS of clearance items today when I was there getting my daughter a Full Moon t-shirt (Edward of course lol) Got 8GB Song MP3 player regularly $119.99 for $69.99 (got this a few days ago) Went today and found accessories for My LIfe system my daughter will be getting for only $2.98. MP3 hard case for only $3.98 My pet Shop DS game for $12.98 (regularly 29.99) Tons of other items, but thats all I found for my daughter

3 of the items that I tried to put in my bag says item not available! Grrrrr

Since my son was born in 1994

At one point I was up to over $200 in RR's (small compared to some). I have been using them for christmas gifts as the two weeks aren't that grand. I've gotten Axe body wash and axe shower detailer for my son (right now they are buy 2 get one free.. I used 3 $1/1 MQ coupons and RR's), cologne, Fusion razors, etc I've gotten my daughter webkinz, perfume sets, nail polish, etc. Really took a bite out of stock stuffer costs

I always say I will keep track but that goes out the door. I am actually almost done with christmas shopping.

Didn't know that... I was in the electronics department the other day. This lady in front of me had TONS of items. Both toys and electronics. She was in front of me at the checkout counter. Of course I was in hearing distance when the lady asked where the layaway department was at. The employee said they didn't have layaway anymore! The lady asked for the manager and the manager said the same thing. Lady said she got an email about it. Manager said she must have been misinformed and this location isn't doing any sort of layaway. So I would call your local TRU.

My husband is the scrooge. Not sure why. We always have had wonderful holidays. I beg (and usually get my way) to get the tree up around the week of my son's birthday. 3rd week of November. I like it up early as by christmas day its gone. No signs of christmas anywhere. Decorations... tree... everything! He is vacuuming by 6pm any tinsel left on the carpet. People come over New Years Eve all the time and always ask where the tree is. Its a long standing joke around here. He just won't budge though.

Do they sell cases for an MP3 player? TRU didn't have any. Just for ipods. I guess I don't NEED one, but thinking it would be nice. Anywhere I can look? This is for a Sony 8GB MP3 Player.

UPDATE: I went to TRU today to see the 4gb. Well... They had the 8gb for $69.98! I bought it today. Funny as the 4gbs are $71.98 in the store. Left 2 pink ones. Employee said they had been flying out of the store since the sale on the 8GB. Didn't even know they were on sale. Thank god I thought to go into the store today. My question.. Where would I get songs for this MP3 player? I know Ipods can go to Itunes, but wasn't sure about mP3 players.

Sony NWZ-S616 4GB Walkman Video MP3 Player - Pink TRU has it for $71.98 with free shipping over $75. ( I can find a few dollar item) http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3150697 My daughter was getting my son his "old" 2 GB IPod nano, but my husband and I were talking and I wanted one. Nothing fancy so Im inheriting his 2gb and we want to buy my daughter her own mp3 player or nano. In looking at the prices, I figured an MP3 player would be the best bet. Is there a major difference in an Ipod and MP3 player? Not sure on that one. No one else has this particular one in stock and/or around this price. Pink is her color and she would DIE to have this one. (she got a pink DVD player last year and she still shows everyone! Should I buy it now for christmas? Thanks for any help.

Is this a good mp3 player for my 9 year old daughter: Not sure what the difference is from a Ipod nano to a Mp3 player. I was going to give her my son's old ipod nano, but I figured I would get that (haha) and I would get her an mp3 player seeing how she is only 9. Pink is her favorite color.... http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3150697

I may start early this year. The kids know where my gifts are stashed. They are 15 and 9, but I still don't want them "peeking".

I start wrapping as soon as the tree goes up. Usually the week of my son's birthday in November

My yellow lab is hard to buy for. She is 8 1/2 and doesn't like toys... Can't have any raw hide due to stomach problems, etc. I just make sure she has her chewy treats she loves so much. My two Rat Terriers are a different story... I could buy for them all day. they LOVE toys. Any and all. LOVE any treats, etc. Pig Ears are their favorite.

Im getting out easy for my 9 year old (for her one gift). I am clearing out my son's 4gb Ipod nano and giving it to her (she wants an ipod). Bought a pink case and will get her an Itunes GC. Voila! Looks like a spent a ton, but barely anything. lol Talk to my son into it as he has 3. Yes 3 ipods. His newest is an Ipod Touch 16gb. Has a 8gb nano, and the 4 GB one. Oh and I also will get her new earbuds. The other stuff is Twilight/New Moon items (have the calender, board game, and will get the dolls)

I honestly never keep track. I just buy and stuff. lol. I buy all year from small things to large. So I could stuff the stockings till they are overflowing, but it could be on clearance items I found (hence why I can't keep track).

Talked to my friend who works at Wags. She said they will get no more Halloween stuff as they are going to be concentrating on Christmas items early this year. She said they got in their 2 full "christmas trucks" already. She said half the back room is nothing buy christmas items

amazon.com has the 16 gb Ipod Touch for 229.99 with free shipping. I bought this for my son for christmas.

all 3 of my dogs get presents. yellow lab and two rat terriers. they get a new "toy" and different kinds of treats (each has her own preference)

I always buy my son's stuff on Eastbay.com. He is only 14 and wears a 14.5 mens shoe. His cleats run a size 15 as they seem to fit smaller that shoes. Great delivery time too.
