  1. The only gifts under our tree are the "to go" gifts that still need to be delivered, along with the gifts that we have recieved. I will dare to put wrapped gifts of clothing under the tree like socks and such, but nothing worhty of snooping!! Everything appears after the kids are asleep Christmas Eve!!
  2. If so, did you like them? Were the batteries ok, fast shipping? Would you buy from again?
  3. I saw I am going to wait every year.. but after driving by the mall yesterday, I am so happy I don't have to be there!!
  4. We have decided to stay a night in Vegas and I would like to find a discount before reserving the room.. any suggestions?
  5. And cartoons were on saturday mornings... mom and dad got to sleep in because we were all watching becuase it was the only time!!
  6. Speaking of Avatars... any suggestions on where I might find a "rudolph the red-nose reindeer" one?
  7. I was devestated last year by my inlaws... and I turned here. This year I have just deicided to remember the people who actually bring fun into my life. A gift isn't truly a gift if it has drama attached with it in my opinion. Yes, I bought them gifts, nice and thoughtful, but I am hoping for any happy family moments, not even for my kids. I am constantly reminding myself that WE are now inlaws and we have to be GOOD ones!!LOL!!
  8. do I just add everything seperate or is it in a package?
  9. I am a silverware freak.. and really have to see how it feels in my hand. Whether it is balanced and heavy. You might want to consider trying a few out at a department store then looking online. My favorite happens to "Reed and Barton". It stays shiny, it is heavy and doesn't bend in ice cream!!
  10. Well I just finished wrapping this a.m. I f a couple for boxes coming, but no big deal. Everything will be taken down to my DH office today for hiding!! My lil boys program is Wednesday night and we will go out looking at lights this weekend. Next Saturday we are off to Disneyland until Dec 22nd.... so I better be ready!!
  11. "T1106" it was on another forum here at GD
  12. does anyone know how long it takes to recieve orders from them? I ordered 5, but I read a couple reviews that said they were really slow.
  13. From what i have heard in the media lately... BF isn't what gets them in the black anymore, the busiest, most profitable day of shopping is the Saturday before Christmas... so they are targeting that day for great sales.
  14. i have found some at Walmart lately..i can' t pull up the page you linked, but check your local Walmart!
  15. Logic? what is logical? I can plan, make it even, and in the last week, everything goes hooky. We counted gifts last night and my baby(8) has less gifts but more spent on him. We have cool gifts from our older kids still at home too. I guess I will be shopping for a few more things for him to open... instead of watching his brother(9). Yeah, I spend way too much making it even!!!
  16. Heck, I would consider doing both if their website could handle it. I would of liked to order a couple of things, but no luck . I was still at the store when they took of the plastic wrap. I am trying to not hold a grudge, but if they want my business, they are going to have to step up a little.
  17. We had to stop the craziness here. My MIL has a christmas Eve party that went from 5:00-Santa stopping by at 8:00p.m. we would shuttle my kids over to my ex's parents for her Christmas Eve, get them home around 10:00, and make them "hurry to go to sleep". christmas a.m. would be calling my MIL waiting for her to show up so they could open presents, she would make them hurry "so she could run over to my Dh's brothers house" 15 minutes away. Then we would shuttle my kids over to their Grandparents by 10:00 a.m. for breakfast, and run over to my Dh dads and do "dinner" at lunch time. In that whole entire mess, my family never factored in. So we stopped. WE always traveled for Christmas.. and sometimes Santa got lost. I wanted my kids home for Christmas and we plan on visiting our kids so they can keep their kids home as well.
  18. Personally, the kicker for me was to advertise the "secret 8" online only..then to have such terrible problems with their website on Friday. They need to prepare on stocking the item, as well as being able to order online.
  19. I had a good experience with my local store... but not online. In fact if I had been able to order what I wanted, I would of stayed home.
  20. Actually I found a lot of seat covers that walmart had sold at Big lots. Might be worth a try.
  21. I am getting ready employee gifts and want to do chips & dip platters, and I am looking for dip mixes. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!
  22. I ordered one too. I keep thinking just the laptop is ENOUGH for my DS, but I keep buying things to go with it!!
  23. I spent $20 at walmart for movies, $13 for a freind on a stick vac. $54 at Home Depot for my DH shop vacs for work. $215 at sears for 2 scooters, which is what I am the happiest about!! So $235 out of my $$... and soon to be paid back for the other. I have never spent this little....EVER!!
  24. So Cyber Monday is a real deal this year? I wonder if Walmart will have worked out its issues for shopping online by then?
  25. This is crazy.....
