I just wanted to say thank you and happy holidays for all of you out there that posted deals to the to multiple Amazon threads. I was able do most of my shopping based upon the deals and reviews that were posted, as my two year old twin girls are not old enough to ask specifically for anything yet. DH rolled his eyes each day as the Amazon boxes were pilled on the porch, but in the end thanked me for doing the shopping without him! I was able to post a few good deals, but some of you are much better at finding them, and again I want to thank each of you.

Thanks again!

I would also like to say thank you on behalf of a little girl I just met yesterday. She has a developmentally disabled mother and lives in poverty. As a result of the listed deals we were able to bring this girl 17 presents yesterday including the School bus tent, aquadoodle, Dr. Seuss books, doll, etc.

Thanks to the Amazon threads, I managed to get gifts for every occation next year, saved a ton. And actually found out about some toys for DD that I've never heard before.

So a big thank you for everyone who posted deals, reviews etc.

I wanted to say thanks too! We had a very tight year last year money wise and I didn't participate in any of the sales (amazon, Borders, etc). This year, we have a bit more and I changed my shopping strategies to get some great buys. I appreciate everyone sharing what they found!

oops, gotta go - just saw UPS outside my house :)

That's amazing. I wish I knew someone who I could PERSONALLY donate some of my bargains too. I especially wish my DD could give them.

But, this post in itself truly represents the spirit of Christmas and giving. :)

One of the best days of the year for me. My DD is too young, but my friend's DDs went with us. Great learning experience for them to see the living room with no TV, tattered furniture, etc, but also see how much this mom loved her little girl. The mom had tears in her eyes as we left. I've been looking at the pictures all day.

I decided on a last minute christmas day brunch with some family, we never do gifts as this is not a traditional celebration for us. But this year everybody has a gift (<$10) bought from amazon, thanks to all of you!

And I did not have to go to nay store except Staples ;)

Just had my last Amazon box delivered by the UPS guy. He has a good strategy for distracting my attack corgi - he threw a dog biscuit out before he got out of the truck. very funny!

Thanks to all of my fellow bargain-hounds for sniffing out such great deals.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

ps. the dog really isn't mean

A big thank you to everyone also! I got some GREAT deals for my kids of things that were on their list. Also, I was resisting buying anything ahead for a gift closet but the last few days a couple of things were posted that I KNEW would be slam dunk birthday gifts so picked those up too :) So, I can't wait to see my kids faces on Saturday and I know we have some great birthday party gifts for 2011 to boot!

Great idea OP! Thanks so much to everyone who has made bargain hunting so much fun and (somewhat) frugal! I got some great things for the family. Now that I know the great bargains that are out there this time of the year I can hardly wait for next year!

How many days until the next Amazon shopping spree?!!!

See you! same bat time, same bat channel!

It's been great! Thanks to you ladies I bought 90% of all of my gifts through Amazon this year! It was soooo much easier than dragging the kids around through stores with me!

Thanks so much!

I was just out shopping tonight for like the first time this whole season thanks to this great thread (I needed stocking stuffers). My feet hurt, and I spent way too much money. Next time, I think I need to 1-click my stocking stuff, too. :-)

See you all back here for the after-Christmas bargain alerts! Fingers crossed that Borders will have its $1 sale and the sales associates will be just as clueless as last year. Probably wishful thinking, though.

Happy Holidays!

Thank you everyone for all your feedback and postings. I did ALL of my shopping through Amazon this holiday season thanks to your input. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Yeah what you said made me feel a bit sentimental.

I didn't need many toys and I knew exactly what I wanted, but I couldn't help checking this thread. It is reasuring to know I can always check or post on this thread and get a quick response from someone. Also, I constantly think so many moms from this board are there checking out the deals too. It's like shopping online with girl friends, making the shopping experience much more fun.

Merry Christmas and enjoy the ows and wows from your kids opening the presents! You all so deserve it!

Me too!! It was kinda weird, I was thinking the whole time, I can probably get this cheaper on Amazon. :)

Merry Christmas everyone!! I am going to enjoy the next couple of days and be thankful for my wonderful family.

I want to add my thank you too! I'm already looking forward to next year. Two nights ago I realized I completely forgot about SIL's nephews and niece. Did not panic though. Just walked over to my Amazon stash in the basement. :)

Merry Christmas!
