Daily Diary: The (good) SHOCK of getting Nintendo Wii U for Christmas

All the boys wanted for Christmas was iPad minis and Nintendo’s Wii U.

You need to understand one thing about me when it comes to Christmas… I love a good deal.

And of course, the things my sons all wanted… none of them come in “deal” form yet.

So I did the next best thing. I have a special place in my house where I stash away gift cards that I have won, been gifted in lieu of payment for a blogger campaign or received on my own as gifts. I LOVE to surprise myself (and my husband) right around the beginning of December to see how much gift card money we’ve got… and I use that amount to go “crazy” for Christmas.

This year was a very good year. 🙂

Little did they know, as soon as the iPad minis came out, I took some of the VISA and AMEX gift cards I’ve accumulated throughout the last year and purchased 4 of them “for Santa.”

And then the last big gift item for Christmas 2012, the Nintendo Wii U.

The boys got the iPad minis first, not even thinking both were possible… not in their wildest dreams.

So it was even sweeter to see this scene play out on Christmas morning.

    A bassinet inclusive of a pad or mattress is preferable
    rather than a supplementary padding and additional pillows because the
    latter can even suffocate the child. A bassinet should be durable.
    Beddings for bassinets are available in the market in a variety of colors, sizes and
    texture.
