College tuition 30% off? Seriously, I am excited to see a great deal on the new Amazon show......maybe a new IPad Pro deal!

Please don't wait that long if you really want one! Be actively shopping right now as it was released last night!

I know the first choice for everyone will include " peace, love, health and happiness" for everyone....and I wish those for all. However as I am working on my gift giving lists, I panic at the thought of what I would like. I have a list in my head at all times of things I would like to buy for myself, home, miscellaneous things I would like to try, UNTIL it gets to be near the holiday or my birthday. Then it goes blank..... I know there are things I would like? To receive as a gift? It just feels so awkward....... What gift would you love to receive?

We have a window fx projector and love it. When we built our new home when had power run up to our dormers to allow us to use them In Windows we aren't " living" behind.

It is so interesting to me to think about how lists change over the years! As kids grow, and your family becomes larger. Jobs change, and the coworker/ employee numbers change with it. Right now I am: 14 family 14 coworkers that I supervise 3 co worker/ work exchanges 7-10 neighbor types 4 -8 friends Plus my husbands list. Guess I better get BUSY!

2- cannon T6 camera packages ...one for daughter, one for son. Amazing gaming chair & snes preorders for son I have my list ready for what to finish with for everyone. Right now it is a matter of time to see who is coming home, and what I will need to ship.

For those of you looking for the preorders of the SNES.....DON'T give up! I was able to place my preorders yesterday successfully. It looks like Amazon And Walmart created new links to the item page, to avoid "bots" ordering all of them. So don't give up, and maybe look at different options for notifications.

Did your orders get cancelled?

I am excited to know as well!

I was one of the lucky ones at GameStop this morning! It was amazing!

So Santa is coming to my house after all! I was able to get my hands on one for my son! I had tears in my eyes and felt so excited! Wooohoooo!

I am finally out of my local area with shopping "options"! I hope having more stores available will help me!

I am sad as this is the ONLY thing my child is asking for this year....he is old enough to understand, yet it is hard for me to not be able to get one!

I think what makes me the most crazy about this process is that I don't have brick and mortar options living ina very rural area. If it isn't in Walmart, I can't have hope. My orders have gotten cancelled, and I cannot track any stock even an hour away. Am not faint of heart and LOVe the challenges of somethings.. I was able to get 6 hatchimals into kids hands for Christmas.....no increase in price.....just a fun thing to help do for some parents that cannot get to store because of our crazy work hours. We are at school preparing for the day at 5:30-6:00a.m. I am about to give up hope!

My closest target is over 80 miles, and toysrus is over 250. This is making me crazy!

So far I am dealing with : Ulta orders. Made one order...the sent it ups/ usps smartpost. Undeliverable and returned back to Ulta. The told me to place a second order which I did, but this time I decided to have it shipped to my office. Ups and usps delivers boxes daily, it is an elementary school. USPS delivered on a Saturday to a neighboring house. $ money from first order has been refunded...2 no order they have issued a store credit for part of the amount? Bon-ton : missing half my order Walmart:.... tires showing delivered ....in the wrong state! They said they would resend themd I would receive a new order confirmation with 30 minutes.....it has been 9 hours Walmart.....several orders split up and shipped various methods.....won't be deliverable with the shipping address due to it being rural area! Ugh!

After 6 trips into Walmart over the last few days.......I was really under impressed this year. Not only with the " routing" system in place on Thursday, but the " yellow vest" associates. My store may have hired extra hands, but it seemed like all the wanted to actually do was stand around and visit with each other. They blocked off the entire clothing sections to eas flow of checking out, but the lack of signage as to what items you where getting " herded" past was ridiculous. I like to shop, which means having a chance to look at items. The system at my store had everyone walking down aisles , but you better just have a list and grab what you see. Nothing was marked, nor was there a rhyme or reason to items order. Totally random! Ugh! Fingers crossed for next Year!

I have usually made 15-20 orders by now. I have not placed 1 as of yet for anything from Amazon. It is making me crazy waiting for them to show me something I want to buy!

I don't think it is dead! It has changed, evolved into an entire different entity! However, I do think there will be pushback in the upcoming years, and will change again. Even possible into something that might resemble " Black Friday ". I recall a few years ago one of my very first posts was about" cyber Monday" . I recall being called out ( possibly from Brad ) that is was't a thing, only hype.now it has turned into a day! Embrace the change, but don't think it is dead! I remember when Black Friday shoppers were like an exclusive club, because not that many people would be " crazy" enough to participate!

This was the high point of my day finding out I was a " winner"! I work in a school and while the holidays bring great joy to some of us, it is a hard time for so many of my students! I had a child with un repairable shoes ( worn completely thru the insole and sole, not even duct tape can't hold on his foot). Thanks so much for being a fun place with fun people! And letting me win!

I was told by an associate today that they would in fact have " some" for Black Friday! Of course they will be doing a line, as they anticipate a high demand for the ones the will have!

I have 1 item on my list that isn't a " must have". The only joy I have gotten shopping this year is purchasing Hatchimals for people with kids that will never be able to get them without paying resellers prices. Nothing against resellers.....I just am getting joy out of helping Santa this year.

Even if the have a few per store, the demand is higher leaving people even more desperate to get their hands one one. I didn't even notice that any items are guaranteed in stock this year. No wrist bands, no " one hour" guarantee, nothing! I have been lucky enough to have gotten a few of these, with dedication and determination! Good luck to all that are still looking!
