I have seen NOTHING that even has caught my interest! In my defense, my needed gifts are almost already purchased, and I use BF for extra gifts and household fun extra purchases. I might be doomed into not shopping this year!!

I bought my son an Oculus rift last year as a surprise. It is amazing!! Many of our local schools are now getting grants to purchase them. I highly recommend it!

Walmart and Home Depot!

I am preparing to wrap next weekend. I have only 5 free weekends before Christmas, and if I put it off any longer I will regret it. 90% of what I NEED is purchased, and everything else I purchase are for fun and extras.

I don’t recall any on Black Friday, but can recommend keeping an eye out on Costco.com. They had some earlier this year, and maybe they will make a return before the Holidays!

OCTOBER! how did it happen so quickly? I need to hurry and finish paying off my December vacation ! Then I can enjoy the month!

Happy September! Labor Day weekend sales have been amazing for me, and it make me even more excited for the next few months! Can I just add that I simply HATE Sears/ kenmore? Built a new home and moved in less than 2 years ago. I purchased all Kenmore elected appliances ...over 15k of appliances. My fridge died 3weeks ago, and after everything.....no warranty coverage due to no local sears repair techs in my area due to the down fall and closing of sears store in my area. Now I have to replace all of my kitchen appliances so they will match.......because I refuse to buy another kenmore or lg.

So what other items have made your lists for a “must buy”? I have a closet full of pomsies, Polly pockets, scruffaluv, rescue pets, fingerlings raptors, & grumblies. What else can anyone recommend? I use them a lot in my school as give always, and for angel tree donations.

I received some as well, along with new found friends. Thanks so much for taking care if it!

Well, it’s just me doing my thing! Happy August!

I have been busy picking up a few toys that I suspect are going to be “hot items”, but had never heard about the “ Squeezamals”! Thanks for the info!

Count me in for anything that counts as a beverage holder! I would use it daily!

Christmas in July has officially started!

Happy July! I am wishing for a little/lot of rain this month!

My philosophy might be very different than most, but while I shop on Black Friday, the things I purchase aren’t necessary gifts. That take a lot of pressure off of the event. I purchase things we might want or need, and might even use as gifts. My gift giving list isn’t based on the ads, therefor my shopping experience are really enjoyable. I shop a lot that weekend, but it is fun. I hope it is always fun!

I have been trying to curb my excitement by researching toys I think will be great gifts! We have started rewards in my school for good behaviors......and I love to shop so for me it is a new sport!

JUNE means to me that I am a little closer to Christmas in JULY! happy to June to everyone!

May is here, and school is almost out! I am excited for a much needed break and a list of the hot new toys for Christmas!

Happy April everyone!

In like a lion, hopefully out like a lamb! March is here!

Happy to know he is doing better!

I just booked a Disneyland trip in December for myself, my daughter, and my 2 lil granddaughters. Super excited, yet realizing exactly how prepared I am going to need to be to pull off the holiday season! You can’t over prepare....right?

Count me as jealous too! I am actually surprised at what I have accomplished in my shopping over the last month. I came up with some great ideas for my adult children for next Christmas, and I have purchased many items already at amazing prices. My son in law left all of his cast iron cookware in their mechanical room when they sold their home (oops!) so I have had several items in my Amazon cart waiting for price drops.....and I am certain my UPS driver hates me for all the purchases! Things like these purchases make me happy!

Wow! Febuarary already! Hoping everyone is staying happy and healthy!

Happy New Year to everyone! I guess I better make my list of " wishful thinking"!
