I have to buy a Gameboy SP, some boxes for cookies, some food items for Christmas Eve, and some stocking candy.

I got one last week and one on the 15th - the day I had to get it out. And no lines at all. I was really shocked.

No credit cards here. :)

It depends on the year. This has been a good year for us, so our kids get spoiled. I will say that we do not EVER buy them stuff (toys) unless it is a birthday or Christmas. They all have summer birthdays, so by Christmas, they deserve it! (Of course, throughout the year they do get stuff from their grandparents, but not from us.)

We have a secret room off our laundry room. The safe is in there. It's a long room with other stuff in it, too. I keep giving stuff to my husband to put back there. The kids never go in there, and if they opened the door I would be able to hear it! If they did think to go in there, they'd get a huge surprise! My husband just told me "There's a lot of stuff in there, I hope we get it all out."

I'm going to give my postman something this year. We have a p.o. box, but he is very helpful. He'll take packages to the car for me if they're too heavy, he gives the kids a Christmas bag of treats every year, sets up a Santa Claus day for the kids and is very nice. He completely deserves something. I'm just sorry I never knew to do this before.

Oh, snap! I meant to go last night.

I am! I am paying attention! This year I found many things for my mom, but feel bad if I buy my mom a ton of stuff and not my dad. It's weird, because I think he wouldn't even care. Anyway - what's The Martha Rules?

I'm in Uniontown!

I'm from SW PA - I love BonTon - they have a lot of great sales.

Uh, that wasn't exactly right. I also bought a scrub the other night.

I just popped over there to look around. They had my favorite scented lotion, a holiday scent, for 1/2 price! I bought 7 bottles to get to $35 and used the coupon code for $10 off. So I got 7 bottles for the price that I paid for 2 bottles the other day, including shipping! How great is that? Now I'm hoping 9 bottles will last me through the year, or at least until I find another cinnamon or spice lotion. I'm a happy girl!

I was at EB Games the other day - they have a $55 or $60 used bundle that has lots of stuff with it - car charger, etc.

I got toffee vanilla and it's awesome. I also like the Christmas cookie.

I would like an ipod nano, some running clothes, and new running shoes.

The people I have talked to that got emails saying theirs was shipped paid with a Sears card. I'm wondering if that's the key. That's why I asked.

Thanks! - I couldn't find the original thread. :)

Did anyone get an email saying theirs was shipped? Did you use a Sears card?

I just got mine! That was fast shipping! Thanks for posting this.

I bought a coat today - 50% off of $100. AND FORGOT TO GIVE THEM MY COUPON! I was so disappointed in myself.

I got the same.

We started out with a few things being from us and most stuff being from Santa. Then the question of why some kids get lots from santa and some not. So it has subtly (ahah!) switched - Santa brings one or two things to each child, we supply the rest.

I didn't get an email for the rebate.

Holy cow, magic - my MIL lives behind us! How odd is that?

There's one that will cook for 8 hours and then change to a "warm" setting. I would like one of those as sometimes I leave in the morning and we don't return until after 8:30!
