YAY!
I'm hooked.
No lines. No wrestling two, cranky, small people. No traffic. No need to even get dressed (though, I did. No, really, I did. Haha!). No spending way too much time out and about, and then getting dinner started late. What's not to love?
I'm not done but I am pleased with how much I was able to check off the list. Ash's list is almost done. **thrilled**
I love those blogs that list all the great deals going on. I just checked out a couple today and found out some stores are offering free shipping. Eddie Bauer and Lands End have no minimum right now. JCPenney is free after spend $69. Brookstone is free after $35. To name a few.
Wanna see what I got? I'll only share a couple of things I got for the girls, since Tony does randomly read this blog. Sorry about the blurry pics.
For Britt:
Thank you Pottery Barn for having such nice, clear photos! It's Baby's first Christmas, but I decided to just get her a normal stocking. I think it's rather meaningful since Britt's got kitty-cat eyes.
I just love that they are bringing back the vintage Fisher Price stuff! They must have been paying attention to how much people pay for it on Ebay! Heehee!
For Ash:
A mini guitar. She loooooooooooooooves the guitar that one of her teacher's at Signing Time Class plays. Sometimes she's allowed to pluck the strings. I know she's rather young, but maybe this will encourage me to pull my guitar out of storage and show her how it's done. **snort**
I got the white one. I'm kinda wondering if I should have gone with pink. **shrug** Oh well. Ash needs one of these since I'm getting rid of the cheapo table and chair set we've been making do with for a while now. It's taking up too much space.
And I didn't pay for ANY shipping! The girls are getting a lot of musical instruments this year. I didn't mean for that to be the recurring theme. It just happened. I already picked up a little drum for Britt several months ago and then last week I found a bunch of fun little noise making toys to go in stockings. Woohoo! So, tell me. Where are you at with your holiday shopping? Or are you making gifts? I think I will be making some too. I've got a couple ideas. If I actually follow through, I certainly share. :)

Love it! I considered getting the girls a mini piano...but they love playing on the big one, so I skipped it ;) I got pretty lucky this year, doing a few reviews for an online company that comped me with gift certificates- I was up waaay too late last night picking out presents for everyone :) Lite brite for the littlest, big ol' desk globe for Dad, and a wooden multi-tone drum for the big girl :) Most everything else is homemade or thrifted!
Hi Jamie! Thanks for visiting my blog a while back. I love the little piano above! And I'm thinking that those little desks would be good for around here too. I still need to get started shopping. I'm planning on doing it via online as much as possible. :) I'd like to make a few gifts too...if I find the time!
i am so jealous! haven't done any shopping yet, not even for thanksgiving - it's next week!
btw, great toys you got there! for my boys, hubby usually chooses the toys to give them, while I choose the clothes and the more useful, practical stuffs to give them.
woohoo on getting some shopping done! I am almost done :-) I have a few more things to buy but not many! I have a few more things I want to make.. we will see how many more are actually completed by Christmas :-P
