13 Things I have bought online for the holidays

My husband reads my blog so I can't tell you what I got him, but no one else in my family reads it, so I can dish.  And I did some shopping in actual B&M stores, but with 4 kids of my own, and 2 that I babysit, it's not easy to get to a real store.  So I always look for free shipping and coupon codes online.

  1. For Macy:  The Little Mommy Toddler Doll, which is so much better than Baby Alive, cause Baby Alive poops in her diaper, and the Toddler Doll eats a sandwich.  {And Baby Alive was out of stock, and I had a $10 discount for the Toddler Doll. }
  2. For Macy: The Little Mommy Toddler Play All Day Activity Center.   Discounted, plus free shipping!
  3. For  everyone:  new soccer balls.  The younger 2 asked for them, and the older two actually needed them.  Spenser's is camo, Reed's is shiny blue, Sydney's is tie-dye, and Macy's is sparkly gold.
  4. For Sydney and Macy: hand-me-down game boy sp's from their cousins who upgraded to ds lites, and a couple of easy games for them to play
  5. For Spenser: eragon for game boy ($10 gc)
  6. For Reed: a  Kirsten doll (free shipping) and lots of AG books (ebay).  I got Sydney the mini-doll at Barnes & Nobles, with my educator's discount (20% off!)
  7. For my mom: a new digital camera, although I got it cheaper on ebay!
  8. For Spenser:  a slingshot from Vision Forum (had a $10 coupon)
  9. For Spenser: a crossbow from VF (the one I got is yellow, and I should have ordered the replacement darts)
  10. For Reed and Spenser:  notepads and sticky notes from Vistaprint, personalized with our homeschool name. (free except for s&h
  11. For Gram and Grandma: FREE Photo calendars, also from Vistaprint
  12. For school, not really a present, but holiday related: a lapbook about new years day around the world
  13. For Macy:  a Dora fairy doll.  (I got Sydney the Dora big sister doll at Kohl's)

See I have to say that if you're going to have a new soccerball then make it glittery!

You don't have to modify your posts on my account; I could've just skipped reading about the items that were for me...

I loved shopping on-line this year. It certainly took a lot of the stress out of getting gifts! Sounds like you also had a good experience.
