I like to give them what they want but also come up with something surprising. For some reason that's often Matt's department. Maybe because he gives them what he wants them to have.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-70329974933827961482013-11-26T12:38:00.791-05:002013-11-26T12:38:00.791-05:00It totally hate to ask but could you run back over...It totally hate to ask but could you run back over and get me one? ;)Lisa Lilienthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152500885897993371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-10302919000743345572013-11-26T11:09:36.531-05:002013-11-26T11:09:36.531-05:00I am totally unhooked from my culture, having neve...I am totally unhooked from my culture, having never heard of Skylanders or Want Not, and only vaguely knowing what an X box is.

I don't get too much into SURPRISES, because I do believe that receiving the thing you want is surprising in this world, but with the kids I like to be a little more mysterious. <br /><br />Anyhow, that was just me, having social anxiety on your behalf for a thing you prob do not care about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-63875077968884051962013-11-26T09:10:43.807-05:002013-11-26T09:10:43.807-05:00omfg, the Skylanders.

Paul had actually bought the starter kit at a great price, and then realized that it would commit us to spending all the rest of our money on ongoing Skylander purchases. So we returned it, and X was none the wiser.<br /><br />I'm a terrible parent.Keelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00186464119473442264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-81013372062672133202013-11-26T08:32:52.935-05:002013-11-26T08:32:52.935-05:00This reminds me of some of the creative Christmas ...This reminds me of some of the creative Christmas shopping maneuvering I use to do to meet the entertainment needs of two boys. Thank God they are grown and their needs are much simpler. No wonder we end up exhausted when December 25th rolls around, but it is such a satisfactory feeling to have scored a desired gift at such a SUPER price.

Fingers crossed based on what I've gleaned from this post that my son at 13 will have no interest in the former. <br /><br />The latter? I'm pretty sure that I will have an interest. Better, faster, easier ways to spend money?

Of course, don't buy that unless the chips will get eaten by your family.<br /><br />Then get to Target and ask if they'll price match! Even if they won't their in-store sale is a good deal.
