  1. I gave a gift card once to someone and had the same thing happen..it was not Walmart it

    was to Best Buy. I no longer had my receipt so we were both SOL :(

     

    Now if I buy a GC I always put the register receipt in with the GC..just in case

    This happened to my mom with a birthday gift to my daughter to Aeropostale. Luckily we tried to use it soon after it was given and mom had the receipt. Took a final call and letter to corporate HQ to get it fixed but they did fix it (and gave us a % off coupon to boot).

  2. I can't really complain about crappy gifts. My extended family is very poor and they are really sweet despite their finances. I know that when we go to Christmas at my Aunt's house, she tries to get everyone something. Although most of the time, it isn't something I would have picked out myself, it always makes me feel good to know that she thinks enough of me to show she loves me. She got me Gardenia hand lotion that was really fragrant! She knows that I love Bath and Body Works so I am sure she thought I would love it. While I do not like Gardenia, I know that she thought it would be perfect. I love that woman!

    I love your attitude.

  3. Okay, this guy I have been dating for about a month shows up at my house to take me to a Christmas party and says "Here I got you something for Christmas, I don't know what it is though..." and hands me an alligator Webkinz. I am 52! I am not especially into alligators. I have not had an interest in stuffed animals in at least 30 years. My dd 12, however, was sitting on the couch when he gave it and flipped out because she has been asking for webkinz for Christmas (she's not particularly into alligators either). I thought the whole thing was weird, way to impress a girl "I got you something...don't know what it is though!" Weird!
  4. I also get my extended warranties from Square Trade - about half the price of the BB warranties and they give you coupons for additional percent off with each purchase. I always get 10% off and have occaisionally gotten 30% off. You can buy warranties even for items purchased on EBay or for phones, Ipods, gaming systems etc. Well worth the money in my home!

    I never heard of Square Trade before, do you have a website? Have you used their warranty service and are they reliable?

  5. check out the new 18" play dolls from Madame Alexander at ToysRus. They are really adorable and probably are made well since I trust that brand. They were selling them for $24.99 the last time I checked. Probably about 6 different varieties/ethnicities and cute clothing too.

    Darn no Asian dolls, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised AG finally came out with the first Asian in it's line this year (Julie's BF Ivy). I guess it's AG for my 12 year old this Christmas.

  6. DD wants a Panda Webkins for her birthday on 10/20. I need to know where I should look for these. They have them on Limited Too website but I don't want to pay for the S/H if I can find locally, but if I am going to order online and have here for her b'day I need to order soon! TIA
  7. Me too!! I have like 10 of them and whenever I go grocery shopping I forget them :mad:

    Yeah I do that too. I remember to use them one time and bring them inside and then forget to put them back in the car for the next 4 times and then the next 5 times after that I forget to bring them in the store and don't remember until I am ready to check out!:eek:
  8. I hate to give gift cards, I'd rather find a good deal on something they can open. But he might end up with one.

    I understand the feeling about gift cards, but I also know that's the best thing for me to get my nephews ages 28-20, so I try to find creative ways of packaging them. I include the GC with an inexpensive item that relates to the GC, for instance a Starbucks GC with a travel coffee mug, a Home Depot GC with a tool, a AMC GC with a refillable cup. Maybe we can offer ideas to go with the gift cards you are leaning towards.

  9. "The promotional offer you entered provides a $10.00 discount when you use your JCPenney card. The Order Summary page below reflects a discount. To ensure we process your order with this offer, select your JCPenney card as the payment option."

     

    It shows the discount in my cart but sounds like it might take it off if you pay another way.
