OH MY GOD!! I feel so terrible..i got my ornament a long time ago and thought that I had posted but i aparently didn't. It was the cutest handpainted ornament in a little santa box. I loved it and so did my little one. Fits perfectly with my tree!! I am so sorry that i didn't post sooner..it is finals week and i am going a bit nuts!! Thanks so much to my ornament person!

Recieved my package a few days ago!! Loved it! Everything was wrapped so beautifully!!! 4 packages total..I was going to open 2 now and 2 at christmas but after the first one I just couldn't wait!!! The card said that the gift included a few suprises for my little one, so of course she opened 2 of them and tried to decided what was hers exactly!! I was going to get the leftovers. I had to tell her to back away from the gifts!! I got a fuzzy blanket perfect for the couch (zoe tried to insist it was meant for her), chocolate covered pretzels, package of candles, snowman dish towel and pot holder, christmas cards, a cute card making kit, cocoa making kit (zoe ate the marshmallows and candy cane and i kept the cocoa), a coin purse, cookie cookbook, grocery list paper,and probably my favorite..santa bobblehead things for cupcakes!! I bake like crazy during the holidays and these will be great for one of the events i will be attending!!! There were also a few toys for zoe that i barely got to see before she was off with them!! Thanks so much to my secret santa!! I loved everything!!

I was wondering the same thing about all sorts of places so if anybody knows of any others we should list them..tumbleweed is also doing buy 25 get 5

went to kmart today totally UNDERESTIMATED the popularity and they never even received the playstation 2 games..oh well it was for my sister and my nephew plays too many video games anyway! Kmart is just always the worst! Oh and I heard someone say that they were handing out the wrong tv's too!! Lots of unhappy people when they discovered the mistake..kmart ended up offering a 10% discount on the one they handed out.

I got my ornament today! Loved it!! Super cute and hand painted!! My little girl loved it too. Thanks.

I kinda want to get one just for the sport of it!!

My birthday is the 5th too.. I hated that as a kid..usually the day we returned from christmas break! Most years everyone in the house was sick too so never much celebrating. I remember one year my mom baked a cake and put one of the big christmas flower candle holder thingies on it!! It was just laying around and all! My husband thinks that is why my little girls party is always such an event!

I always keep the tags on and then if she happens to not wear that size...I donate to angel tree or even when she ends up with way too many clothes in a particular size..hang it in her closet with tags...at end of season the tagged things go in the angel tree bag.

I am checking this site every hour..last thing I do before I go to bed and first thing in the morning!! Just signed on and hallucinated the target ad...it turned out to be tigerdirect or something..just wishful thinking I guess. I am supposed to be writing a paper!

neat..but seems a little migraine inducing to me!!

me too! I also sticky the items I am trying to price match so it goes quicker.

I didn't get my easy bake oven until I was 16 and told my parents how deprived I was as a little girl! Told my dad I was scared for life..lol. He took me out that night and bought me one. I am umm.. a little older than that now..and I still have it!! I got my little girl her own and we bake in them all the time! You do have to have patience though..as it is a long process (especially if you are baking dessert for the family)

just went to check mine and they are gone I have been waiting for these to clearance for over a year!

have us all post our organizational tips then a random pick from post

today i found a pair of plaid shorts for 3.xx, 25 bag packs of ziplocks for .70 (plus .55 coupon), and a minute maid!!

we just ordered a few days ago

yea!! I hope this starts them rolling in!!

oh I almost forgot about the shoeboxes...we always do 2 of those..one boy one girl. really simple things and lots of stuff can be picked up at school clearance time and during the clearance dollar spot.

We always pick a little girl 1 size smaller than my little girl. Usually about the same age since she is so tall. We pick up toys and clothes all year long from the clearance sales. We also put in anything that my daughter still has tags on at the end of the season (new stuff she never got around to wearing) usually have a ton and don't spend a lot of money. Zoe usually picks a name that she thinks is pretty and we drop the stuff off the same day!

didn't kb toys have them cheap last year? seems like i remember price matching the pets at walmart 3.99 or something?

lots of kids clothes: shorts, shirts, hannah montana pj's, school uniform type clothes

lots of clothes today 75% off also found 1 mm!!

same here..she would rather play with polly anyway..but she did get a bratz for her birthday..she said "That was very nice for ----- to get that for me anyway. Don't worry mommy we can return it, right?" maybe I am just nuts but she doesn't own a barbie either.
