I waited in line at a forever 21 for over an hour and a half.Got pushed,shoved,and everything in between.Some lady even became suffocated in the crowds pushing all together…all to get a stupid free tote bag.There were no sales at forever 21,the only one was a buy one get one free (shirts) that seemed like they were from a year ago,stupid little ugly tank tops.The only thing that was on a sale that I bought we’re some boots at pay-less for 15 bucks.Black friday was dissapointing,no good sales.

Now share your black friday 2008 experience(:

I plan to get my bridesmaids monogramed tote bags I found on sale from L.L. bean. I will be giving them this bag at the rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding. I plan to put some "relaxing spa" type stuff in them… but I’m kinda stumped on anything esle. Any ideas? I like creative, unique, and funny stuff!!

All answers are appreciated!! Thanks a bunch!

There’s a bag i’d really like to buy for school online. It’s a tic tac tote large bag and i have just enough money to buy. But i was hoping to wait until i have a little more money so im not spending ALL of it. thank you!

For Xmas I gave the girls, 12 and 13, a set of Vera (each got a big tote bag, back sack, purse and some cosmetic bags and pencil cases). I made sure first that they knew about the brand and that they were popular bags at their high schohol. And the girls know they were a little pricey so no loaning a bag to a pal, or leaving them sit in the cafateria. We told them use them and enjoy them but be careful with them. Since I got the bags on sale at the Vera site, I went ahead and got them each a purse for Easter and the youngest a new tote bag for her "graduation" to the high school from middle school and I put those back to give later on.

Now here is the rub-they are not taking care of the bags they got at Xmas. They overload them with books (which their dad said not to do), they have hung a ton of keychains off of the purses they got. The youngest let a friend borrow a bag for a trip and she is also not using a very nice very pricey coat we got her to match the bags she got (her sister said she lost it, which fits as she has lost 2 ipods and a gameboy). I am so bummed that they aren’t taking care of the items that I spent a lot to get for them. I am a big Vera Bradley nut (havce over 20 bags) and they seemed to like them-so I was thinking they would take care of them. Seeing how this has played out up to now-I am rethinking giving them the other Vera items had put back for them. If they don’t take care of what they have-I really can’t see giving them more to tear up. But I feel a little guilty for not giving them the bags since I got them for the girls. And at the same time the idea of them treating a new batch of -89 bags the way they have the xmas ones makes me feel ill.

Should I just admit that at 12 and 13 they just don’t know how to take care of thier stuff? My hubby had long ago set up a policy of not giving them really nice clothes (designer) or really complex toys because they have 2 young and destrutive sibllings at their mom’s home. I told him when we were dating, if you don’t show them how/why we do take care of stuff they won’t learn. I don’t know if they just don’t care or what the issue is but once I got him to start giving them things they had to be more careful with-they have without fail lost the items, the younger kids have gotten them and torn them up, or they just don’t use them. I am about to the point my hubby was 6 years ago-there is no point to get them nice stuff they won’t take care of or appreciate. My 3 year old son takes better care of his things than they do (he even told me once to get my bag off the dirty floor cause the dog mite chew it). I guess I am just feeling bad about rethinking the gifts and realizing the girls aren’t the type to really want the work that goes with taking care of what they have been given. UGH.
Well-I appreciate the answers so far. And I think you are right. I took care of my stuff as a kid (but my mom and dad took me to work with them once or twice so even being an only child I knew money didn’t grow on trees) and my son knows at 3 yrs old you take care of your things and pick up toys and that he has clothes for day care (ie it’s ok to get them messy) and clothes for going out that you keep neat. I just feel bad that the girls can’t have nicer stuff because the bottom line is they are not careful with it and even though they see at our house things are cleaned up and cared for, they know they don’t have to do that at home. But you 2 are right-I’ll just keep cringing at how they care for the items and they will just keep tearing them up so that is stress I don’t need. Dang.
OK now you 4 are right:) And to be clear-we didn’t give them the I-Pods or Gameboys (their mom did and she replaces them when lost-the youngest even said "I don’t know where it is mom will just have to get a new one" and my hubby/dad said "no" and told her to go to her room and think about what was wrong with that statement, but her mom did get her a new one the next week and now they don’t even use them or the gameboys). It is frustrating since I want them to learn more about being responsible and that money doesn’t fall from the sky-you work hard to get an education, and then you work hard at your job to earn money for things you can enjoy. But I guess if that isn’t what they get at both homes, it isn’t a lesson they will really learn.
Part of why we went with these gifts is that for the 3rd holiday in a row, they wouldn’t give us a wish list. We go through that with xmas, birthday’s, easter-they will not say what they would like and then complain about what dad picked (he still tries to give toys-I thought a more useable gift would be the bags they could use for school and as overnight bags when they come to our house or go to stay with friends).

The Japanese designer Simplism we see is used rather than the other bags and strikingly I likes it! At first glance, the more women’s Briefcase, or metro, thought I, but now that shows in detail, it is very clearly unisex, or, dare I say manly? There is much here start with the same look. Gorgeously soft leather, and in the whole a good tight white contrast stitching sports. Of course, it is really thin, thin. So you do not need the extra space is the same guy, I don’t carry with me a lot because I like this. In this case, the iPad for side pockets flat some space is full, and that’s about it.
