I tried they sold out of the sale stuff. I guess I should have shopped online. I'm hoping they will run another sale soon.

I'm sure they will have another. I was there as soon as they opened.

Thanks for mentioning the Pop socket and Lily and Laura bracelet. I ordered both! The bracelets came already they were very pretty and on sale when I purchased!

I want to get DD18 the blue Moana shirt from Disney Store. I remembered I had Disney Rewards but no card, so I ordered a redemption card. It may not get here until 12/14 so I hope that it works out to order then!

DS16 has been bugging me since summer for an American flag t-shirt. I did find American flag pajama pants a few months ago at Target that he loves. Still no t-shirt though. I've checked American Eagle, Buckle, Hollister, Abercrombie, etc. Any ideas?

Amazon has a few options.

As soon as I get my Disney rewards card and order the Moana shirt, I am DONE. I mean it. I was going to buy less this year but I didn't do very well on that. Today I got DD15 a cat onesie on Amazon. DD18 mentioned that DD15 really wanted onesie pajamas. She has Hello Kitty footie pajamas but they're too long for her. Earlier this year she tried to buy a custom Chat Noir onesie from a cosplayer and they didn't get back to her.

I also had a couple of things I needed to get and needed to get up to $49 for free shipping, so I added the 2016 Holiday Barbie ornament for her, and a gray sketch book for DD18.

My list for my oldest is ever evolving but I think I am done with her. Newest purchases- Hollister sweatpants and two sweaters from the same place, pink long sleeve shirt and addias superstar shoes.

I now need to complete the youngest.

My DD17 list ever evolving too! I liked the Burts Bees Onsie PJs they are organiz cotten and on Oprahs top gifts. Got that on Amazon in XS though it looks big maybe scrunches up when you wear? Also ordered last minute Sims PEts game.. REturned things I was SURE she would love as I changed my mind. Etsy has awesome pokemon bath bombs I got along with build a bear pokemon that talks. Could'nt resist! Amazon had a few cute books for getting ready for college. Storybook kind cute humor and good advice...

We recently went to an event at DS19's fraternity house. At the end of the night, I noticed many of the boys were wearing LL Bean Wicked Good Moccasins (slippers). I decided to get a pair for DS.

I have 3 girls, age 16, 14, 12. They already have iPhones (usually getting mom or dad hand me downs) and with that don't really want anything expensive.

This year I am planning a Saran Wrap ball... something like this

http://awesomejelly.com/the-saran-wrap-ball-christmas-party-game-is-a-seriously-good-time/

Adding things cheap like candy, and more expensive like concert tickets. Maybe some cash and other things too. Their tastes are all similar enough for this to work, although I can totally see them bartering with each other in the end. But it will certainly make the Christmas morning fun!

And on subscriptions, they love ipsy. Just got the October one in the mail today!

Thanks so much - this is the perfect idea for my brothers/SILs - we stopped doing individual gifts, but I think I'll wrap some candy, lottery tickets, hand sanitizer and a $20 in the very middle. Since they're all so competitive, this will be fun for me to just watch, cheer & laugh

I think this is how I am going to wrap the gift cards instead of just putting them under the tree. I will find small stuff for the other holes.

Another thanks - this will be perfect for Christmas morning! We've finally given in to DD's constant request for gift cards, so that's the majority this year. I was struggling to find ideas on how to gift these without just a ton of little boxes under the tree.


DD15 loves rock music and anything from Ulta/Sephora, so here's her list (sans gift cards and Blu-ray/DVDs) in case you have teens with the same interests.

• Band and Disney tees and sweatshirts from Hot Topic - In This Moment, Motionless in White, Big Hero 6, and Nightmare Before Christmas
• Slytherin cardigan from Hot Topic
• Funko Pop - Severus Snape and Deadpool - from Hot Topic
• 3 pair Iron Fist Bat Wing boots - 2 from Hot Topic and 1 from Dolls Kill
• Books - will be wrapped with her gift card to Amazon
• New Year's Day sweatshirts from Absolute Merch
• Velvet chokers from Forever 21
• Urban Decay eyeshadow primer, Naked Smoky eyeshadow palette, and sets of Miracle sponges - will be wrapped with her gift card to Ulta
• Vintage heart leather journal with handmade paper with a set of fountain pens from Amazon
• Avenged Sevenfold autographed vinyl - best bet for autographed items is to look for preorders - most rock bands have started doing these (or at least the ones she listens to)
• 2 sets Harry Potter knee-highs (Gryffindor/Slytherin and Muggle/Forever) from Kohls
• Toothless plush from Build-a-Bear
• Bag of Coal bath bombs from Etsy

When we were buying gifts for her friends last night, I found out most of them really just wanted their favorite snacks/junk food so that's what DD got them (think Sam's Club size boxes of Pop-Tarts, Rice Krispie Treats, Sour Patch Kids, etc).

Does anyone have any experience wth the Ivory Ella shirts? They are crazy expensive and I'm not sure on the fit. My daughter is a girls 12 and and xs in places like Aero. Do they ever have sales?

 

[Liberty Belle]

My sons (22 and 14) are getting:

22: Packable down coat, RL Polo shirt, American Eagle shirt and sweatshirt and pants, filters for photography, sheet set, Polo Blue cologne, jigsaw puzzle roll up mat, socks, Zippos fire starter and extra "things", divy bags, lens cap holder, some kind of tarp thing for backpacking.

14: Packable down coat, some thinking putty (gold, I think), a sign for his desk that says evil genius, Mastermind game, a suitcase, geodes, K is for Knifeball book, Beatles White Album, a lightning detector, new desk chair, Titanfall II video game, new nintendo ds xl.

Then they each get pajama bottoms and tops (I get oldest a set of Polo tshirts) and a book for Christmas Eve. Oldest got a photography book (can't remember who, but an artist he likes) and youngest got How to Teach your Dog Quantum Physics.

My daughter has an Ivory Ella t shirt and it is a favorite. The shirt is looser fitting and a nice quality cotton. They had a sale over Black Friday on selected items but other than that, they don't go on sale often. You can google a coupon code which helps a little.

Love that your 14 year old is getting The White Album.

Love that your 14 year old is getting The White Album.

He discovered the Beatles last year.

So how is everyone doing with their shopping?

My original list has changed so much. Clothes and shoes seem to dominate this year, this makes me feel like it isn't Christmas. No toys this year. Im buying things the girls are indicating they would like but I hope that Christmas morning is still fun for them. (14 and 11 are the ages)

I know the feeling..my list has changed so much too. My DD is 17. I refuse to give up the toys, lol!!! she is into pokemon stuff so I always incorporate some pokemon in there and a lego set. Tradition! She isn't much into clothes but loves electronics, etc. So I always do a new family board game as well.
