    Official One-and-Only "What I Got" / "My BF Experience" Thread

    in 2009

    Posted

    We started at Target. Actually didn't arrive until about 10 minutes to opening. Wasn't bad. Huge lines but I rushed back to electronics and got an XBox 360 for my son. (Elite Holiday Bundle with Batman Lego & Pure) I got $60 in GC back (one for $50 and one for $10) so basically got it for $239.00. Then I used my GC to go get the rest of my items:

     

    Cordless Drill for my boyfriend, was $59, paid $39

    Mossimo Thermal Shirt for my boyfriend $12.00

    KungFu Panda DVD for my son $5.99

    Pants and a shirt for mom $30.00

    T-Shirt for my son $3.00

    Hamper for my son $12.00

    Snow Pants for my son $16.00

    a few $ stocking stuffers

     

    Total that round was around $130.00, but the clerk let me use the $60 GC from the Xbox purchase. Total spent at Target was appx. $370.00 for everything. The clerk also gave me another $10.00 GC which I turned around and handed to my mom who was in line behind me. (I don't often shop at Target cause of the difference)

     

    Overall it was a great trip. The second line was long.. we spent 2 hrs in it, but the manager was great, they were fairly organized. Really best BF experience I've had so far.

     

    After that we just went to Michaels for my mother. My son had a birthday party to go to that afternoon and I needed to get headed home.

    Wiiiiiiiiiiiiii

    Gamestop is the place to go. Ive said it over and over the core console is $250 everywhere you go. Higher volumes of people funnel through the big box stores looking for Wii's. My advice is to go to Gamestop on your lunch break, before or afterwork during the week. Or wait outside the store until you see their delivery. Experience tells me if you call Gamestop and they have them in stock, they will hold it for you - for a short time - so you can go and get it. Good luck.

    I totally agree. I stopped in at the Gamestop near work and they were super nice and gave me info about approximate delivery dates, times, etc.

    I agree with going with diapers. I would not buy the inexpensive kind, especially if you are making the diaper cake. I had tons of those and I hated cheap diapers, ended up throwing most away. I use pampers and they work best for my son. Being breastfed, he pooped many, many times a day and the cheap diapers just don't hold up. But I agree diapers are the best gift to give, and you can never have too many.

    Gotta agree with this too! I used Pampers because they truly worked the best. (Huggies were NOT leak-proof for my breastfed lil one)

    make each of them a diaper cake.i made one i topped it off with toys from mcdonalds happy meals since the theme was winnie the pooh. go in the plant section and i got a plastic plate like thing to put under the pot. i used that as a base . roll diapers long wise tie with a string when you get all rolled up take 2 rolled up diapers put a third string thru the strings that r there and tie.pretty soon they will be all tied up then place them rolling as u go on the plate.top off with little baby toys i only made one but it was a lot of fun

    I got a diaper cake for my baby shower and it was one of the best gifts! The one I got she took a round piece of cardboard and covered it in alum.foil. Then took baby diapers and rolled them into rolls (putting a small rubber band around eachone in the middle. Stuck them in a circle and put a ribbon around them. (The ribbon covered the rubber bands and made it look like the "icing" on the cake.) She did a smaller "layer" of diapers on the next row up and she topped it with a pretty bow that had a pacifier tied in with it.

    I just have to tell you this...

    We bought a brand new mattress for my daughter 6 month ago at Colders a local chain-, well I noticed that it was sagging...so I called the place I bought it from and they sent out a guy who took pictures and said they would get back to me. well they called and stated that since there was a marker stain (one oops, when my daughter was coloring on a piece of paper while I was washing sheets) our warranty was void because they cannot take that into the factory an expose their workers to contaminents..Whatever! A child's mattress, beware before you buy...I have since found out that VERLO will stand by their products...shop there

    Thanks for letting me vent!!!:rant:

    Thanks! I really appreciate the heads up... we are looking for a new mattress for us plus another for my son!
