oooh, forgot. If you give a mug and/or coffee/hotcocoa/tea stuff... a warmer would be faboo (if they are allowed to plug things in like this): http://www.michaels.com/art/online/displayProductPage?productNum=fl0047

I commented in another thread like this... I'll 2nd/3rd the suggestions for classroom supplies, antibacterials and gift cards; consumable items that I can use in my classroom this year. I feel bad about all the mugs, frames, scarves and pins (sitting in a box in my basement) that I have received over the years... I can't possibly use them all. Just one comment about the mousepads... if they have an optical mouse (like I do), it may not work all that well for them.

Another teacher here, and I will 2nd that comment about home made foods. If I do not know the family well, I do not eat it. I do appreciate the effort and the thought, though. Classroom supplies is a really great idea, as are a little gift card; I have always appreciated things that were "consumable"... I have over 100 students and can't possibly use all the mugs and pins and scarves that I have received over the years.

I just tried, you are right. october20 does not work anymore. But NEW8876 is 10% off... I used eGift cards for free shipping... not bad.

Does anyone know if the october20 code still works?

I am SO going to order some things, thanks for sharing. I didn't even know that Gymbo had this store! I love how the clothes are age appropriate! No Skanky Ho clothes for my 6 year old, ThankYouVeryMuch. (I can be really hard to find a reasonably-priced dress - not a dressy-dress - that isn't slutty looking)

Santa brings one gift to each of our kids. Stocking and presents are from us.

I just ordered one from QVC yesterday. I don't think they have any more of the particular one that I ordered... mine is a 9' slim (pencil) tree. Like this, but taller: https://www-ssl.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/app.detail Some of the ones are introductory price or on easy pay (mine was - 4 payments of around $55). I'll report back when it arrives.

Get out!!! What huge deals. Thanks for posting. I am going to have no money left by Thanksgiving.

Uh, if you are *giving* it to them on a gift-giving day, then I am thinking it's a gift, no?

!!!!! No coupon needed. !!!!! www.coldwatercreek.com

After Thanksgiving. I teach beginning band, and if I am not careful, I get an earful of it every half hour of every day... now, I refuse to assign or hear them play one until after Thanksgiving break. I just can't take Jingle Bells in October.

I received most of my order today and I love it all! My first Coldwater Creek purchase! (shamefully, I used to call it a "menopausal" store, thinking I was too young for their styles. Turns out, I am not!!!) I loved it all so much that I went back for more and placed another $160 order! Thanks for the code/announcement*, this definitely helped me with my professional wardrobe. I lost 100 pounds last year and have had to buy all new stuff. * pS - you do not need the code anymore, it's automatic at check-out.

I got a call that some items weren't coming too.

shopping_mom - I have often taken advantage of amazon grocery items. Horizon milk, certain snack foods, pastas and rices, mostly. apurpleocean - thanks for the heads up.

dh is Jewish, I was raised Christian. It's taken us a while to get things down where it works for us. They get a small present on each day of Chanukah. Books, socks, art supplies and the kinds of things that we would be buying them anyhow. Maybe a new movie one of those days. Christmas day, they get a couple presents and a stocking, items are fruit, a little candy or small things, like their Chanukah presents. Santa gives each child 1 "big" present. By big, I mean $50-75. We'll raise that amount a little over the years (like with inflation), but we have decided that if they want something way bigger, it will have to be a family gift or they will have to save their own money for it. They also get a new pair of jammies on Christmas eve. So, that's 8 for Chanukah and 4-5 for Christmas.

nice!

should I be able to use it online? I have tried %20CLUBEQYJLMA7 for the code, and it says it is not valid.

sorry to hijack... but I am way excited to see so many Butler, PA people all in one place! In all my years of message boards, I have never seen that happen! (I grew up in Butler, taught there for 5 years... now live in North Hills.)

May & mln51 - I was in the Butler Target on the 26th, toy sale prices were 30-50% off. Yesterday at Pine Creek (the one I usually go to), they were 75% off, and I got some great deals for my kids for next year (Polly Pockets, Barbie car + doll, Travel Lite Bright)... today, I was at the new one in Ross (hmmm, think I go to Target too much?) and their prices were 30-50%. I hate that Target does this. Freaking price it all the same!!!

holy crap, the same snapfish calendars are at costco... for half the price!!!

HOHOHO at snapfish didn't work. but, GUIDE2006 took off 20%. cool!

actually, i don't care if they are here in time for christmas or not (half our family is jewish)... just for around the start of the new year. thanks so much, everyone. will try that snapfish code immediately (since i already have a calendar saved in my account, i am hoping this will work).

I missed the date on my snapfish coupon. So, now I am looking for another good deal. I would LOVE to do a calendar that allows me to change layouts and have more than one picture on a page (snapfish and kodakgallery allow this, for example). I don't think shutterfly will. Any recommendations, codes, etc? TIA!
