Sushi Go, the travel version is one of our favorites. My 4 year old has been playing it on her own since last christmas. We actually have the regular version but it's packed up with all the "adult games" and I never even thought to bring it out for the kids! I bet L would love it. We bought the regular version after using the travel version for a few months and found it so confusing that we never play it 😆

I was going to mention Hoot owl hoot as well. Sneaky snacks squirrel. We really love Cranium Cadoo. It’s really for older kids bc there are clues to read, but we always just helped M and still had a lot of fun.

Sushi is L's favourite food so I think he'd get a kick out of it.

I ordered a Tuchy for 40% off.
My husband was all I need to review before you order a bidet. Then I said I was ordering a Tuchy and he’s all oh, okay just get it.
I want to live my cleanest butt life. And I’m tired off all the toilet paper.

Besides Amazon, where can I find girls’ bathing suits this time of year? E had a huge growth spurt and we swim 2-3 times a week.

I love their swimsuits. If you mean where to find it at a brick and mortar store, I’m not sure. I think I found one on clearance at Kohl’s about this time last year, but that is pretty much luck of the draw.

An anecdote that Starbucks should be fine. My SIL has been a preschool teacher for 22 years and would save her many Starbucks gift cards for traveling. She doesn't drink coffee or tea (yes, a foreign concept to me) but would get pastries or small meals from airport Starbucks. Now she gives the gift cards to her teen daughters who love cream based Frappuccinos LOL.

Not true gifts but I just bought all the supplies for Advent/nativity themed snacks like mini marshmallows and mini candy canes to make people and angels, graham crackers and chow mein noodles for the barn, large marshmallows and chocolate licorice to make sheep, etc. I don't know who's more excited, me or the kids!
I also got the stuff to make (easy peasy) cake mix m&m cookies to give to our neighbors. Hopefully with only 5 ingredients, there will be minimal fighting between L and J of who gets to do what while baking.

There is a local favorite grocery store that I shop at often that does an annual 10% off GC for BFCM. I just buy myself a $500 card and spend it until it's gone. I love it.

When do you stop gifting to young adults in your family? I now have a niece and nephew who are college graduates with jobs, and it feels weird giving them a tiny gift since we are poor compared to them/their parents.

Boom. They're already doing that so I guess we're good to go 😀. ETA: I used to also include a gift like gloves or a Starbucks card. ETA #2: I decided to still give each teen or young adult a Starbucks gift card. For L's handwriting practice this week, she will write a letter to her cousins saying what her and J's favorites are there and asking them to send us a text of what they like. Multi-tasking at its finest!

I picked up a couple of stocking stuffers for MH yesterday and now I'm officially done, too! H has already started wrapping but we'll work on getting more done tonight.

I'm done too! Just got back from getting the last stocking stuffers. Hubby needs to get what he's putting in, but I, personally, am done. Also, thank you to whoever mentioned getting a snack box! It was just the perfect unique gift to give my hard to buy for hubby

Well I thought I was done, but I was finishing up the wrapping today and realized I didn't have a "big" gift for L from MH and I. I think I was considering the Nintendo switch a gift for him but I'm giving it to the whole family, not just him (and I'm actually having second thoughts about it). So MH and I are off to the Lego store right now. We picked up Starbucks and I'm having my first ever cranberry bliss bar. It's delicious.

Picked up a $300 bike trainer for free on my FB buy nothing group! What luck. Going to set it up for A in the basement. He was been wanting one.
