Webkinz and Melissa & Doug toys

I was at Avon News yesterday and they are having a Webkinz sale. Kevin is too young for them, but I know they’re popular and can be hard to find. Avon News is on State Rd in ‘downtown Avondale’ right off of 41.

Also, my friend Rachael turned me on to Melissa & Doug brand toys for Kevin. I love them! And so does Kevin. Now Avon News is going to start carrying them. From what I saw yesterday they seemed to have a pretty good selection. They are mostly wooden toys for preschoolers–puzzles and stuff. TJ Maxx used to have a decent selection of them too, but lately it’s the same old stuff, not many choices. I was really tempted to get Kevin some things but I’ve already spent more than I planned on him for Christmas.

You may want to stop in if you need some last minute gifts for preschoolers & kids and don’t want to deal with crowds.

Urban Legend-Store Closings and Gift Cards

If you get one of those email forwards about various retailers closing their doors and not honoring gift cards, it’s an urban legend. See info here.

No bargains for a while

We’ve had a death in the family, so I am not in the mood for bargaining. My 7 month old niece had been in the hospital for about two weeks with bacterial meningitis, and unfortunately she lost her battle. Keep us in your thoughts and I’ll be back on sometime soon.
