I have been browsing Amazon and have found the neatest things my girls never knew they wanted for Christmas 
They usually each get a Christmas ornament. I found a lovely Hallmark fairy for DD9. I was stumped for DD12, till I found the set of Smore's ornaments that are Lewis & Clark & Sacageweah! This girl loves Lewis & Clark, she even had a Lewis & Clark birthday cake this year! I'm so excited!
Then I thought I would search on Klutz since they have good activity books. Lo and behold there was one on Cat's Cradle- DD9 is always dinking around trying to make string figures- it's big at school right now. I didn't buy the Klutz one because it only had 5 figures, but on the other similar items I found one that had 20 figures and didn't seem too complicated.
I also found Dancing with the Stars Wii game for $11.04, and got Just Dance 1 Wii for $19.99- thanks to a heads up on this board! I also got them the board game Qwirtle (sp?) because of the great reviews on Amazon.
For the girl who is always teaching her Build-A-Bears I got the American Girl School for Dolls book, and for the one who wanted the book "222 Alphabets" (can't find anywhere), I picked up the AG lettering book.
Gotta love the vast variety, the reviews, and the free shipping. Had to share how excited I am for my finds!
