? regarding purchasing online exchange items

[mommytotwo]

As you can see from my countdown, I will be having my next baby this month. But I have put together future holiday exchanges again this year-the Halloween Exchange, the Christmas Stocking Exchange, and also the Christmas Present Exchange.
I am trying to purchase things online to make my shopping easier, and also since there is not much of a selection where I live.
Does anyone have recommendations of places that have their holiday items on their websites now?

Mmm I don't know, I do shop online much. You can check wal mart or target, or e-bay. I know my local hobby lobby has lots of ornaments and decorations out already.

:( I wish we had a Hobby Lobby, Joanns....but we don't.
Thank you Roxy.

Ohh really? Sorry :( I love hobby lobby. I like Joanns but we don't have one near.

collectionsetc.com might have some holiday stuff out. You might find something on ebay too.

oriental trading and that family of stores have Christmas stuff already. Have you looked online for specialty shops?
I know that when we do the fundraising catalog at the beginning of the school year we have Christmas stuff...in fact I saw a preview and there's a bunch of cute stuff available this year. Ours is available online so I bet others are also.

What kinds of things do you have in mind, Patsy?

I like current.com for most holidays. Besides paper products (back to my love of stationery and office things ;) ), they have really cute gifts and such. Bigger and small things too.

Yes, I have been checking online and also made a purchase online today for the exchange :teeth: . I can't wait for the holidays to come around and start the exchanges.

I had checked current this morning. The only thing with that company is that I don't always recieve what I order-I guess someone else is getting my mail and enjoying it :confused3 . But it also takes like 2-3 months for it to get to me.
I am just looking for a variety of items that can be part of my exchange package and also things for the kids and gifts.

::yes::, I purchased like 90% of my Christmas wrapping paper from them along with gifts and other nick nacks. :thumbsup2

[Meriweather]

That's too bad because they have really cute Christmas things out already.

Maybe you could make your purchases for the exchanges that I am hosting ;).

[Meriweather]

Did you see all the cute Christmas things for the kitchen?? :teeth:

[Meriweather]

:rotfl: I do always buy from them at least once before (and again after ;) Christmas, but I have no problem finding things ;)
I have so much here, I don't need to go shopping :blush:

::yes::, I like those cookie magnets, the felt personalized bags, the Santa treat bags, ..... I have a feeling I will be giving in and purchasing items from that site. :p

::yes:: Sure can bring on the cravings to look at all the goodies.

Do you have Target and/or Wal-Mart around you? If not they do mail order too.....but I don't think they have holiday things out yet, but who knows :rolleyes:

:(, no Target, but we do have a Wal-Mart. I had seen just a few fall things out, so that is why I am sticking to online items right now till those come out, and I will get my candy and such from there and other places.

[PixieDust32]

Oh yes, I love Current too.

[kimbac3]

I like the stuff from here http://www.lakeside.com/home.asp too.
Great stuff for people you don't really "know". I buy my in-laws stuff here :rotfl: and my brother's girlfriend :maleficen :rotfl2:
