Regarding the BF deals on line at midnight: Google search "black Friday 2008" and you should get tons of sites that have all the info. Many are message boards just like this one and that is how I got all my early info last year. HTH!

The Wii came UPS today from Wal-Mart, The Wii Fit should arrive any day and Meijer supplied two Wii games with a $20 coupon for later. We are on the WAY!

Our Tarjay got 22 Wii's in today, so I got one for the kids from my mama. Its $29 for the 3 year warranty, btw.

I came across a deal starting tomorrow. My mama wanted me to get her the new Barbie Diamond Castle dvd for her great-neice's bday this weekend. At Tarjay, wyb the dvd & barbie, you get the kelly doll/horse set for free. So, present at xmas is covered .

Now that I know the kids will get a Wii, what is the best deal on the guitar/drum rock band thing? DS has a guitar & loves playing the drums that belong to the guys who have a band at my work. We live in an apt & no room for drum set, so I think this would be awesome if not too $$$.

I kick started my shopping at Target when they were clearing out toys. Now Walmart has some great deals on clearance, so I'm shopping there too.

Anyone willing to guess when the AG code will be out? I may call them today and see if they will give it to me anyway...

Just went to Toys r Us and picked up some GREAT Star Wars & Indiana Jones toys on clearance! It's getting closer and closer, anybody else shopping now??

I started just this past Friday. I bought my neice some clearance Webkinz @$5.00 each. Then w/ the purchase of the any Webkinz I was able to get the clothing for 50% off. Something she's asked for. So I got 2 Webkinz and 2 outfits.

Then yesterday I tried really hard to go out Christmas shopping. I didn't find much. I ended up buying 3 Xbox 360 games @ Gamestop for their buy 2 get 1 free sale for my son.

I'm having a really hard time finding what I need to get. I think it's because I don't know what I want to get.

I am now done as yesterday. My 3 godchildren done completely. Mom is done to. I bought her ticket. All that needs to be done is secret Santa thing at work. I do not know if doing this year yet.

Slowly but surely the Christmas pile is getting bigger. In years past we always started in December and paid more than we needed to for absolutely everything. This year is going so much smoother (and cheaper!).
Mostly I have been getting things for the kids but I have seen a few other things for other family members. My goal is to not spend the last few days before Christmas rushing around like a madwoman and completely stressed out.

I am starting to relize the kids know all my hiding places, I just got from FedEx a 8 g green Ipod for $99 bucks yippie! It is refurbished but this will be the 5th refurb we have bought with no problems.
And found Webkinz for 5.99, and I am hiding a very cool new skateboard for the 14 yo ds it was 30 bucks of the original price. I cant wait we just
booked our house for Disney next year for 10 days so I will have to get presents to go along with the trip.

I also start shopping right after the holidays. I was able to get some holiday themed stuffed animals for 90% off last year that dd will get this year. Also, our Walgreens had some Burt's Bees gift sets 75% off last week, so I picked up a couple of those for my friends.
Unexpected gift find: our Safeway floral section had some really nice Russ stuffed animals 75% off (so between 1-2.50 each), so I grabbed four of those to use for kids my dd plays with and baby showers.

 

[ClarabelleCowFan]

I'm almost done! My friends think I am nuts for shopping so early but we are going to WDW in December and I don't want to have to worry about Xmas shopping then.

We are giving the Grandparents photobooks and those are already done.

DH keeps asking me what I want but I honestly have no idea. I told him I needed some new clothes that fit (finally lost all the baby weight from DS!) but he knows better than to pick out clothes for me.

I'm having a hard time getting started with Christmas shopping this year. The kids don't know what they want. DH doesn't know what he wants.

He does want to get his Dad a digital picture frame and have me load a bunch of pics on it.

Plus my parents are downsizing to a smaller home next year and have told all of us not to get them a present this year so they'll get a gift card from us.

I did start picking up a few things for a spa basket for my sister-in-law at the Yellow Daisy Festival in Stone Mountain Georgia but I've got to come up with a couple of other fun things to add to it.

I haven't even thought of what to get other folks yet. But it's early so I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Where are y'all finding the discount Webkinz? I really don't need any more but if the clothes are discounted too that would be worth it.

 

[kkmcan]

Bump for the webkinz deal! I'd like to know also where you are getting them from.

Where did you buy the Webkinz (if you don't mind me asking)?

TIA

My local Hallmark store had a bunch marked down to $5.00 (both Webkinzn and lil'Kinz). There was a list of about 12 different styles.

Then they had a sign you could get an package of Webkinz clothing for 50% off w/ each Webkinz purchase.

I asked the lady if the clothing sale was good if I bought the marked down Webkinz and she said yes.

Now, I have not checked but my sister picked up 3 Webkinz for $5.00 last week at Justice for Girls.

I started shopping back in May and I'm done for DD.

I just ordered her some things yesterday for the easter basket (jewelry). So yes, I shop early. Christmas & Easter are my favorite holidays.
