BF is "girls' day out". It started with my mom, me and my sisters. We made it a tradition about 10 years ago. Last year, my oldest neice went with us and she's excited to go again this year.
I went last year, and although I would not go solely for the FAR stuff (the checkout line was too long and slow), it was a great addition to the things I was planning on buying.
Supposedly, Amazon is going to reopen preorders. They did a brief one and was overwhelmed with the response and since they didn't want to preorder more than they were alloted (they didn't have the exact number yet), they closed it.
B&BW had the $5 sale already this year. I think it was in July or August. Not sure if they'll do it again during the holiday shopping season, but it was a great deal!
That is a great idea. This will be the first Christmas married to my husband (who has a large extended family). We had also decided on immediate family, but I think that would be an excellent thing to do for extended family (let them know we're thinking of them).
Something I learned from a salesman at Circuit city- Plasma tvs cannot be laid down, they must be kept upright. I had never heard of this before, but I trust that it is true.
