Hey everyone, Thought this was as good a place to ask as any...has anyone received their 10% off coupons in the mail from the Target holiday promotion? Ya know, the one where you spend $250 on your Red Card between I think Thanksgiving and Christmas and get 10% in January? Haven't received mine and it is almost February. Thanks for your help!

I ordered the Dora Magical Castle bundle on Walmart.com just before Thanksgiving...they had a deal where you got the castle, 5 figurines, the carriage, and 3 furniture sets for $79 polus 97 cent shipping. They also had a bundle with all of the furniture and most of the figurines for $88 (shipping was regular price, I believe)...Good deals and my almost 3 year old will be ecstatic when she sees santa's gift!

Check the Disnety princess areas of the stores...I know there are some there...I think I've seen Cinderella ones, but I know I've seen one that's pink too. I've seen it at Target, I believe, but I'm sure other stores carry it too.

Another cool idea for the Thomas lover in your life: Sam's Club sells Thomas videos with a bonus wooden train included in the packaging for only $12.42...it is mostly the engines that everyone has (Thomas, Henry, Edward, etc.) but today I saw a special edition for the holidays with an engine that had ice or snow on it. Fun stocking stuffer, especially considering those trains are normally $10 -$20 EACH, without the video.

Guilliam, I'm not sure if it's the same one or not, but my daughter got the "sing-a-long with Elmo" last year...it's essentially Elmo holding a microphone that the kids can sing into and it plays all of the Elmo "hits", i.e. "Shout", "BINGO", "Old McDonald" and about 7 more. It is really adorable - my daughter plays with it all the time. gets a little annoying (what kids' toys don't?), but at least it plays multiple songs for them. If it is the same one...I got it last year closer to Xmas for 50% off and an extra 30% and ended up paying something like $13, I think. Really good deal and worth the money.

Checked out Target this morning and they were replacing the Random Acts of Summer area with the bulk item necessities...you know - large packs of diapers, wipes, 3-packs of deodorant, etc. So, looks like they won't depress us with back-to-school, QUITE yet. Jen

You can't order from LTD unless you are a business, but there is a site called the Lakeside Collection that has almost exactly the same stuff for the same prices and anyone can order from it. try lakesidecollection.com Jen

My daughter will be 2 in February and just loves the My First Leap Pad when we are in the stores. I believe that the bus and the blue & pink My First Leap Pads are the same, just different versions of the same thing. I think my daughter's getting it for her birthday. Jen
