My 2.5yo loves it. She has had one for a good year now and has loved it since we got it for her. I think Target is selling it for $9.99 right now and it comes in a few different colors. All the kids I know that have one love it. If you looking to spend a little more, the Aqua Doodle seems to be pretty popular too. My MIL got DD one for X-mas. Hopefully she will like it too.

The 3yo might like a scooter (w/ helmet). My DD really wants one, but we are waiting for her b-day to get her one (she has enough gifts for x-mas already ).

The 1.5yo might like some sort of ride on toy?!!?

i didn't realize you lived around here! Not that I "live" around here, but I am here for another week before I finally move back to Utah! 12 Oaks is "my" mall! I hung out there all the time when I was a kid

I was at Kohls at the crack of before dawn. We got there at like 4:15am lol stood in line for an hour and a half but had a good time with my mom and her crazy friend, and got a nice sweater for myself lol. Went to Old Navy and got a pair of gloves and a hat and a fleece...for myself. Then to Target, whose lines are usually more controlled but they were waaay too long and I was not going to wait that long for ONE movie, and I already got what I needed in electronics, so we left and went to breakfast and we were home by 8am! My mom's crazy friend was out from 3am (waiting to get in) until 8pm! THAT is insane, there is no way I would do that!

At old navy they had free mps players for the first 50 people and since I was there only 30 minutes after they opened I asked if they had any left and she said people were lined up outside since before 4am to get those, and they didn't open until 6am! That is nuts, it didn't even list how much memory or anything was on them, I'm sure it wasn't worth more than $30!

I had a good time bonding with my mom though! It was worth it.

Hey Regina, I don't have a Target close by, so I didn't know about the free Polly Pocket, but thanks anyway...

I went to Wal-mart yesterday morning and I overheard the cashiers saying they had a bunch of people leave the electronics section Friday morning and complain. Apparently, they only had one runner getting things from locked cases and carrying them to the register, so alot of people were pissed off. I would have hated to be that person... Prime example of a manager that was more interested in making money than having enough people on the floor to help.

Yeah, I grew up in a little town down by the airport. My mom lives up there in Novi, so I go up there a lot. I don't really live there either anymore , we're closing out our apartment next week in Belleville and will be living in Indiana. But my whole family still lives in Michigan and I'm sure I will be up there a lot of weekends in the future...

Do you miss Michigan when you are in Utah?

lol.. that is pretty insane. You're right, it couldn't have been worth more than 30. I saw footage on the news of how people act when they open the doors first thing in the morning. You'd think that it was the end of the world by the way people raid the stores!

FWIW I lived in Novi for about 3+ years! I worked at the Bed, Bath, and Beyond right across the street from 12 Oaks!

Small world!

Oh, I second the doodle pro for the little ones. My kids from age 2 to 7 love those. We play a family pictionary on the big one sometimes, and the kids have a blast.

I only went to cvs on friday, but it was in the mid-afternoon when the crowds were gone. I bought 3 crest toothpastes, 1 excederin, 1 advil pm, 1 monitor (which I gave to someone at church that needed it), 1 hair color. I paid 8.12 with all my coupons, but I ended up getting over 40.00 in ecb (cvs store credit) towards future purchases! Cvs has the best deals sometimes!

Yesterday, my hubby and me went out to lunch and to a few stores for christmas shopping, so I am almost finished...that is until they decide they want something different...again.

This is the craziest Black Friday shopper I have ever heard of. A husband and wife camped out at Best Buy at 9am on Thanksgiving waiting for the store to open on Friday. I like Black Friday shopping, but I wouldn't miss Thanksgiving for it!!

[HeffsRah]

bringing this thread back for black friday 08! lol... I've actually only ever shopped on black friday ONCE because I usually work that day...but this year I have off! So I'm definitely taking advantage of it

Anyone know who is opening at midnight?

[katbuad]

Wal-Mart. Supposedly their door buster is going to be a 52 inch flat screen Samsung for $700. Sheer gossip. No idea how many per store. (No were aren't going to Wal-Mart. TV is not on our list this year.)

Maybe Kristie can move these re visited post to a new thread so we can more easily find out the deals for this year?
