Wish Lists - too early?

[lauren3110]

Is it too early to start the wish list thread? It is one of my favorites each year. I always get good ideas from others :)

Doll clothes armoire
Flat iron
Camping hammock for dh
Puppy/kitty in my pocket stuff
Find It games

[ang79]

Both my targets had a several sets of those puppy/kitty in my pocket things on clearance. I'd never seen them before but thought my girls might like, especially the 8 yr. old, she likes any type of animals and tiny toys!

[abh5e8]

Not to early for me... I need to get on this. Ds1 and 2 want Legos, and I already have a big set for each. No clue for my girls. Dd1 will be 10 in jan and is pretty much past toys... But we are not ready for a phone or the like. And dd2 is 3 but it seems we have every toy known to man... So I need ideas for her too. The baby is set... We boxed up all the baby toys agree ago, and will wrap some for him. He will just be 4 months by Christmas. May also give him new copies of our favorite board books, as they are falling apart.

My 3yr old wants everything her 7yr old sister has. I'm torn with ignoring it or buying 2 of everything [emoji51]

[abh5e8]

We might have the same three year old. :)

[Mikey0709]

Never too early! Right now is double points at the LEGO store - so i always start there beginning of October.

My oldest is reaching the "no toys" stage.... ugh, he already has asked for a phone WITH DATA PLAN for Christmas.

The only toy so far was BLOXELS - - toy that works with ipad? They saw a commercial for it. Local toy store had it for around $50, $46 on amazon.

Looking for suggestions for a few stocking stuffers. Need a comb/brush for my 3 year old with fine, but long hair. Also looking for water bottles for her and 2 yo that are easy to clean.

I bought these on a whim as stocking stuffers for my girls and just LOVE them. They are a very smooth molded plastic with no seams, and it works GREAT on fine kids hair and is the perfect size for kids - large enough to actually efficiently brush hair but small enough to handle. I think I found mine at CVS or Walgreens, and have also seen them at Target. I do their hair up in braids or a pony every morning, using their brush, and it's fantastic!

love camelback kids water bottles.

[hillview]

Honestly I can't even. They need exactly nothing at all.

Exactly the same. I found a few games but otherwise, nothing needed or wanted. A trip would be choice but I just don't know where ds2 stands on the big guy. I feel once he's off the table, things get easier!!

I usually put funny socks or undies, new toothbrushes, new chapstick, some candy, sunglasses, stretchy gloves in stockings.

We love the Wet Brush at our house. We have 4 of them lol. Don't let the name fool you they are great on dry hair too - I use it on mine as well as kids.

We like the contigo water bottles. We usually get the multi-packs from Costco at back to school time but they might have them other times of the year too

lol I know! But I'm such a deal hunter I have to start early - I hate paying full price for stuff!

I'm hunting for bicycles for my two girls, 4 and 5. Recommendations for brands would also be appreciated. They have a balance bike, so these would be their first pedal bicycles.

I also am looking for a deal on a micro maxi scooter! I got a great deal on a micro mini a couple of years ago on Gilt, but I haven't seen them there in a long time :(

Keep an eye on zulily. Sometimes they have them I think

[SASM]

The ONLY thing that I am really hunting for is a set of hardcover Harry Potter books (with the great Harry illustrations on the dust covers). I would even be fine with VERY good condition used.

If all else fails for bargains, albeebaby sells micro maxi scooters and runs 20% off a lot and we don't pay tax there so it works for us. I found a lot of the great deals were for the mini only when I was hunting for bargains in the maxi a few years ago. They were on zulily a few years ago but not sure if their price was any better than 20% off.

[army_mom]

I was just thinking about this thread!
We are on the hunt for bargains for a strider balance bike, micro mini scooter, a small bounce house, and iPad mini 4 (preferably 128 but may do 64 if the bargain is significant)

[Ms B]

I have a list going; I can find all of these things but really want to get decent prices (or even screaming deals) if possible:

Sonos Play 1 in white for the family (we need one in the kitchen)
Durand corkscrew for DH
New hoodies with full front zips for The Biscuit in size 6 - I prefer the Nike Thermafit or Drifit on deep discount if possible
The Biscuit wants a "rainbow" puffy vest (as in the type they had in the 70s). DH wants me to find something that has "boy colors" as opposed to "girl colors".
"Unbreakable" glass wine glasses for DB and the probable future SIL - I would like to get them a set of 8 if they are decently priced
Hot Wheels for The Biscuit at good prices
Lego Juniors or City for The Biscuit also at good prices
Harry & David for the ILs and my parents (probably will go with the best deal around or shortly after Black Friday)
Maybe a full size Yeti cooler if we can find a screaming deal. It would be good for road trips, farmer's marketing, etc. because regular coolers do not seem to keep everything cold when they are in the car for hours in the summer.

In related matters, the gift closet at our house is almost cleaned out, so good deals on board games and smaller lego sets always are appreciated!

TIA for any help on this!

My DS2 is just about the same age as your DS and the Hot Wheels Garage is on his list. It is currently $78.99 on Target.com and there is a 20% off coupon.

My DS also wants Lego Junior and there are some good prices on Amazon right now:

DD asked for a Hatchimal. They are sold out everywhere. Target's site said my local store had some so I called today and was told I was the 10th person calling about them. Good luck to me....

Any idea what the regular MSR price is? Amazon seems to have some very inflated prices!

I know they do, it's crazy. I believe it's $49.99 or $59.99.

I never, ever thought I would be in the market for a ride on vehicle but DS is desperate for this one: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Yamaha-Raptor-ATV-12-Volt-Battery-Powered-Ride-On/19801341?sourceid=csesh01c07d5f32ed78470fad11d570f 45d2d85&wmlspartner=shoppingcom&affcmpid=1896222022&tmode=0000&bcfg=e1eae9ab1a1fbbd5759eeeec89449629&veh=cse

Are there any deals on these things? He has to have a blue ATV. Does Walmart run the 20% off toys like Target does?

[keh602]

I know they do, it's crazy. I believe it's $49.99 or $59.99.

Yeah, Target shows the original price as $59.99 and a sale price of $49.99.

DD mentioned wanting one of these a while back. I guess I need to find out how serious she was about that.

[ray7694]

$60 for a stuffed hatchimal seemed steep to me and now ebayers have snatched them up. I'm thinking we will be passing on this hot item.

For the Yeti cooler, have you looked at RTIC? They have coolers that look identical to the Yeti for a more reasonable price: https://www.rticcoolers.com/. For board games, Target is having a buy 2, get 1 free sale this week. And Target, Toys R Us, and Amazon seem to be having good deals on various Lego sets, so maybe just check to see if what you want is on sale and do a price comparison. I've seen several sets at 20% off on sale, which I think is pretty good!

I've heard of people finding them at their Barnes & Noble stores, if you have one local to you. Might be worth checking out.

I saw a few on the shelf at Target today and grabbed them for 49.99 each. It seemed like more holiday toys were getting unpacked onto the shelves.

Considering osmo for my 8 year old..anyone know anything about it?

[jam224]

Considering osmo for my 8 year old..anyone know anything about it?

We just started playing with it last month with our 5yo! We like it! It's been a lot of fun. So far, we've done the Tangrams, Numbers, Words, and I just briefly used the Masterpiece function the other night to trace out a Zootopia paw popsicle for a last-minute Nick Wilde costume (turned out GREAT!). I have the Coding kit, but we haven't used it yet. I snagged them during the B&N 40% off sale back in September.

[logan's mom]

Considering osmo for my 8 year old..anyone know anything about it?

We bought OSMO several years ago when it was first launched because we ordered it in pre-production, we paid $50. I love it and we have used it a ton. My boys are now 5 and 7. My 5 year old plays it the most. He has been able to get through more of the levels on the Numbers game and Newton than I would have thought he could. My seven year old plays with it some but not as much. I wanted to get the 7 year old coding but I think I am going to get him BLOXELS instead. My 5 year old wants the board that goes with Masterpiece and the Pizza Game but will probably only get one. I would worry a little that it wouldn't hold your 8 year old's attention but my 7 year old only sits still to play Minecraft and otherwise he is outside.

Thanks for the tip on these. I have sent the link over to DH to see if he likes them. If he is on board, we also may get soft-sided ones for presents for the units and the ILs this year. That may solve not only the present dilemma, but the problem of MIL bringing food to our house in her Thirty-One Cooler that has thawed by the time they arrive. Yech. (Although the problem may be that they do not use enough ice, which is beyond my control).

Ha, or if you're travelling to Europe I'm seeing them here for reasonable prices and there's tons of them! (It's funny because I didn't realize it was a "hot" gift back in the States, but I was actually wondering today (while seeing lots of US toys in the store here) if it would be easier or harder to find "hot" gifts over here. )

ETA: Sorry, false alarm. I looked this morning and was able to put one in my cart, but now they are all showing as out of stock.

Not sure if you're looking for it be in stock at a specific place but there are several in stock right now at target.com with FS and FR (either ship it back for free or return in store) and there is a 20% off code KIDSGIFTS that brings the price down from $49.99 to approx $40 shipped with free returns. 2% back on ebates

Looks like the big gift this year for the kids will be an XBOX, so looking for deals. I'll be looking for games too, Star Wars Lego The Force Awakens, one of the Forza driving games and maybe a sports game. Wondering if Black Friday will be the best time?

I saw that the Kohls Black Friday ad was released. They are going to have the Xbox Minecraft bundle for $250 plus get $75 back in Kohls Cash. There is also a PlAyStation bundle for the same amount.

Hatchimals website has a message now that basically says stores will receive shipments in November but they expect them to sell out quickly then it will be January before they have more stock. Why oh why must one DC want a hard to get item every year! DD said a few weeks ago that a Hatchimal was what she wanted most after looking through the Toys R Us catalog. I should have learned my lesson & gone out that very minute to buy one. So although I said I would not overpay for one I just got one off eBay for $89. I will keep telling myself the extra $30 is worth it to save me time and hassle and worry but overpaying kills me! And I had to pay shipping...the horror!

[ray7694]

The sad part is they will sell out to eBay sellers who will double the price. I'm not spending that for a stuffed animal. I don't understand why all the toy ads have it on the front page yet they obviously have horrible inventory.

New Ugg Coquettes for me

Update: I got a pair of the black leopard ones from Shoes.com for $62 with free shipping before tax or 5% cash back from ebates. They still have them left in size 11 if that is what you need. Also, Nordstrom Rack has the snake pattern in size 6 and the leopard with light fleece in size 5, 6, or 7 for $79.97. Don't forget ebates or your Nordstrom Rewards points; they currently have free shipping for orders over $100 and a lot of good stuff on clearance (including a number of Raymond Weil watches for half off or more, go figure).

Also, I am loving this thread where everyone is helping each other -- it just shows why the BBB is so great!

Yes, I seem to recall that last year as well. It was on the TODAY show's "hot toys" list or somesuch, which always impacts demand!

For now, we'll wait a bit. If it comes down a bit, great. If not, we'll figure it out.

We are on the hunt for bargains for a strider balance bike, micro mini scooter, a small bounce house, and iPad mini 4 (preferably 128 but may do 64 if the bargain is significant)

Check out Kohls with a coupon code for a small bounce house. They have good prices with the codes.

Here's a tip! If you have the Amazon app on your phone, add it to your Wish List. I've noticed that Amazon will send me a notification whenever something on my Wish List is on Lightning Deal. This is a HUGE time saver because Amazon will ramp up their number of LDs as we get closer to Black Friday & Cyber Monday.

Is there a place where you can track non physical things? Like I want a visit to an escape room. Or an arts & craft party. Where can I track those so loved ones can see it?

Do you mean like an online wish list? Maybe Elfster? https://www.elfster.com/ Although I think you can add experience type activities to your Amazon Wish List too, but you have to type it in as an idea. On the desktop site at the top of the Wish List, there's a text box that says, "Save an idea. Shop for it later." Or if there's a website for your experience, you can try their add-on extension to add the url to your Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/universal.

DH never asks for anything. This year he saw this Hallmark tree topper and told me he would really love to get it for Christmas. I cannot find it anywhere! Please help. The website says it's sold out online. I contacted my local Hallmark store and they cannot locate one. If anyone finds one please let me know

Amazon will let you add things from external web sites to their wish lists if you put an extension in your browser.

I'm lo king for the best deal on a baby doll for an almost two year old girl. My DD loves her babies and I'm thinking of getting her one for Christmas that has a bottle and maybe diapers. No baby alive dolls as they seem to scare her (and me!)

I got my daughter a Corolle Calin before son was born. She was shy of 2. It's been well loved and am actually giving my son one this year. He's almost 2. They're not inexpensive, but perfect size and feel for a little one.

Check out Etsy -- I saw this one on there: https://www.etsy.com/listing/491644777/star-wars-christmas-death-star-tree?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=death%20star%20tree%20topper&ref=sr_gallery_1

Last year I couldn't get the Hallmark ornament I wanted and found something similar on Etsy that was awesome, and much less expensive.

I second the recommendation for Calin. I actually thought it was quite expensive for a small child's baby doll, but I'm so glad we got it. I got it for my DD when she was 1, and she LOVES it. It's perfect size for her, perfect cuddly-ness -- it's great. My 4.5 year old older daughter also loves it, so it's not something she'll outgrow quickly. The quality is amazing; WAY better than other dolls we've seen....and it's not creepy like so many are!

Thanks for posting! I also posted my OP in the Lounge and a few BBB'ers were able to point me in the right direction to buy the tree topper. I never think to look at Etsy though, but I'll keep that in mind for the future, thanks :)

DH and I are watching the Wonder Workshop DASH robot for DD.

Current retail is ~$149.99, but I could've sworn I saw it on Amazon this past Saturday for ~$120 (D'oh!)

If it's not on any "Hot Toys" lists, I may be able to wait for it to come down a bit.

This is $120 at Best Buy right now.

Would like to get a Patagonia Better Sweater for DH. So far I've found the size/color combination he wants at Patagonia.com, Moosejaw, and Backcountry. Anybody know of any discount codes for those sites or know of somewhere else that carries it with a discount?

[ourbabygirl]

Have you tried Sierra Trading Post or 6pm? Otherwise, maybe Amazon Warehouse Deals. I would check Retailmenot for coupon codes, or get on their e-mail lists for at least a 10% discount.

[Ms B]

I have a list going; I can find all of these things but really want to get decent prices (or even screaming deals) if possible:

Sonos Play 1 in white for the family (we need one in the kitchen)
Durand corkscrew for DH
New hoodies with full front zips for The Biscuit in size 6 - I prefer the Nike Thermafit or Drifit on deep discount if possible
The Biscuit wants a "rainbow" puffy vest (as in the type they had in the 70s). DH wants me to find something that has "boy colors" as opposed to "girl colors".
"Unbreakable" glass wine glasses for DB and the probable future SIL - I would like to get them a set of 8 if they are decently priced
Hot Wheels for The Biscuit at good prices
Lego Juniors or City for The Biscuit also at good prices
Harry & David for the ILs and my parents (probably will go with the best deal around or shortly after Black Friday)
Maybe a full size Yeti cooler if we can find a screaming deal. It would be good for road trips, farmer's marketing, etc. because regular coolers do not seem to keep everything cold when they are in the car for hours in the summer.

In related matters, the gift closet at our house is almost cleaned out, so good deals on board games and smaller lego sets always are appreciated!

TIA for any help on this!

Ok, update.
Sonos is done (Black Friday deal thru Sonos)
One hoodie done at Costco (TMNT - The Biscuit fell in love with it and has worn it every day since we bought it, so that's a win).
Not buying The Biscuit a vest - two weeks ago he decided he did not like vests any more (and that's five year old logic for you, folks!)
Glasses located at Wine Enthusiast; currently angling for a good promo code.
Hot Wheels acquired (Target sale last weekend)
Holding off on the Legos - Got a good deal on the Playskool Millenium Falcon set that The Biscuit will love
Got customized Tervis cups on really good sale instead of Harry and David for all of the grandparents.

That leaves:

Durand corkscrew for DH. Best deal seems to be Wine Enthusiast when they have a coupon.
One more hoodie with full front zips for The Biscuit in size 6
Maybe a full size Yeti cooler if we can find a screaming deal. I looked at the RTIC coolers, but the reviews are mixed.

And now I need:

Deal on Homegoods gift certificate for housekeeper (her favorite)
Deal on iTunes giftcards for the younger babysitters
Ideas for gifts for my assistant. Last year I got her a bottle of wine, a heated footrest (she is ALWAYS cold), and an Amazon gift card. This year I am thinking about going for a four pack of wine, but any other ideas? Total tab should be around $100.
Ideas for gifts for my other assistant. I usually get him a couple nice Davidoff cigars; is that still my best bet? He already has a nice cigar case and cigar cutter that I bought him a number of years ago when he worked for me at a prior job.

Thoughts?

Best soccer net and ball for DS'S who will be 8 and 5. They are not super sporty but like playing in the yard with DH.

Also looking for outside hockey stuff. We live in FL and not really sure why DS'S want this but they keep talking about it!

My kids really liked the 6x4 Franklin Soccer Rebounder at that age: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004NKIQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's currently at a good price too ($37.59) ~ anything below $40 is really good IMO.

Girls active wear leggings with hidden pockets in the side seams- like these:
http://www.target.com/p/women-s-embrace-high-waist-leggings-black-c9-champion/-/A-50929292
Color doesn't matter! But no zippers. She doesn't want a traditional pocket like jeans- the "stealth pocket" only :)

Only ones I can find in girls sizes are at athleta girl- and I can't spend more on her leggings than mine!
DD is only 41lbs with 19inch waist- generally an XS to S in girls clothing, so no way will a womens legging work for her.

Have a few more items on my list and no good source:

Anyone know where to find men's big and tall snap front shirts. I can find some that are considered "western" shirts, but would like to find something more plain in style.

Also need a women's plus sized plain black hoodie sweatshirt.

Check out Pit Barrel as another option. They are made near me and my husband has one. Best meat you have ever had. Everything comes off restaurant quality or better! A portion of their sales goes to funds for veterans.

Yes, they were $39.99 for the week of BF and Cyber Monday. I bought my 3rd one then (paid full price for the first two).
