Anyone that reads this blog or knows me IRL knows I like to be organised. It's my son's birthday in July, his presents are already up in the top of the cupboard ready to go. Yeap that's me!
So it's about this time of the year I start to think about Christmas. I know it's ages away, but I like to start my plan of attack.
Next month Big W will hold it's annual toy sale and for me this is the perfect time to get started on the Christmas shopping.
I also really appreciate the opportunity to layby for Christmas, insuring no 'sneaky peaky' action can be had.

Well Miss Mandy...I am so happy to hear there is someone just as organised as me when it comes to Christmas! I love scouring the catalogue to see what I will put away on layby.......and have even been known to be at Big on the stroke of midnight to get my bargain!! My little one has just really started getting into all the Princess things, so I imagne it will be used on something really girly......maybe even on some of the new 'Brave' merchandise!
ReplyDeleteCheers Meredith
Ps- have liked BIg W page too!
OOps.....that should read Big W on the stroke of midnight!!
DeleteI would spend the $100 some dress ups for my 2 girls and the rest on Lego! My 4 year old has her eyes set on the new girly range :D

We're planning on getting out 4 little boys a trampoline for Christmas, fingers crossed our backyard is sorted in time! I'd use the $100 to get a sandpit to finish off their outdoor play area.
ReplyDeleteI would love to buy Mr 3 a leapster, his big sister has one and he cries every time she plays it because he has nothing to play with :-(

This voucher would be great to put towards some boardgames. Pictionary and the good old monopoly. Would be lovely for all of us to sit down as a family and spend some quality time away from the tv and computer.

ReplyDeleteLiked Big W - I have twin boys so easily spent on Lego and construction vehicles or cars
ReplyDeleteI tweeted via your tweet button.
ReplyDeleteI love the mid-year big toy sales. Last year I put some toys on lay-by at K-Mart for my nieces and nephews Christmas presents...they lost them...luckily they were replaced.
ReplyDeleteI put the voucher towards a cubby or swingset, something that both my girls can enjoy together.
I would spend the $100 on Duplo/Lego! My little girl can't get enough of building towers! Elisa x
ReplyDelete$100 would be spent easily (and quickly) on the new Batman batcave!!! My boys are nagging for it, for Christmas, already!
ReplyDeletehave retweeted your competition :)
ReplyDeleteHa! More like what wouldn't I spend it on! Walking through the toy aisles is hard enough when I don't have a hundred bucks to spend! I think I'd walk up and down with my kids (who are only nearly 3 and nearly 1) and let them decide. I'm sure I'd end up with all sorts of randomness that would keep us all amused for weeks. Or they'd look at it later and wonder why Mommy let them buy something so totally boring.
ReplyDeleteI liked the BigW FB page I think I'd put it towards getting the girls a trampoline or a cubby or somthing that will keep them busy outside playing.
ReplyDeleteFabulous choices at Big W.
ReplyDeleteWe went for the:
Play-Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shopper Playset - no calorie ice-cream - I'm there.
Lego Robo Champ: controlled violence in the house of pain.

What a great giveaway, thanks for the chance to win! My girls are currently "into" Zhu Zhu pets and Littlest Pet Shop, so I could easily used up that $100 voucher!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I 'like' the Big W FB page.
DeleteAlready a liker of the big w facebook page-I'd put it towards a nintendo 3ds.I was so organized last year having used the lay by and picking everything up by October that when my son wrote his list to Santa- a nintedo 3ds was on it!, I've checked and it's still on the list this year so I would love to fulfill his Christmas wish!

ReplyDeleteA LeapFrog laptop for them to learn,
ReplyDeleteThem using this I'll have no concern.
They pretend to be bloggers just like mum,
I'd prefer that then the bashing of a drum.
A Nerf N Strike Vulcan is also a must,
My husband would be so happy I think he'd combust.
This would be the perfect start,
To put into my Xmas shopping cart!

We're doin Christmas???. I'm not ready!!!!! x
ReplyDeleteGreat poem Kell!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking along similar lines - It would probably be spent on some Nerf or Lego for "the boys"**
** "the boys" is the term used when it should be assumed that I mean my two children (aka "little boys"). However, the husband is included in and the leader of the generic term "the boys" and will no doubt take primary responsibilty for the play with such purchased items, and storage of said items so he can access without his "little boys".
(Thanks for the giveaway! I can be emailed via contact tab on my blog - happyhousewifey.com)
Hy sweetie! this is lovely! i was thinking, maybe we can follow each others blog?! :X

What a fabulous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would buy a Jessie Toystory talking doll for my daughter (who has been asking all year for one) and a Woody Toystory talking doll for my son.
We (and by we, I mean, my children) are obsessed with Toy Story that we have to watch it almost every day! Got to be organised aswell - can not wait for the BigW toy sale!! Best sale of the year!

I would get my christmas presents for both my kids and be finished early!
ReplyDeleteI like your style!! Thanks for a fun giveaway. We do most of our Christmas shopping at Big W and here's what I would do this year with $100:
ReplyDelete80 mega blocks for my little boy ($40)
10 fisher price shape sorter pieces for my little girl ($13)
7 items for our annual Operation Christmas Child Shoebox ($20)
5 Bonds undies for my husband - his request, not mine!! ($22)
1 Chocolate bar for mama for all her "hard" work shopping! ($5)
With this gift card and one hour, I too could have my Christmas shopping complete! :)

I'd buy my boys the Thomas & Friends - Zip, Zoom & Logging Adventure because they love Thomas and I'd never be able to afford it otherwise. One son is autistic so putting it together and sharing with his brother would envourage his social and fine motor skills, in a really fun way.
ReplyDeleteI would be SO excited to be able to buy a Jolly Jumper and a Fisher Price Laugh N Learn Table for my baby girl who is 10 weeks old!! After having 2 school aged boys who will come first on our shopping list for their 'have to have' toys, I'm not sure how much of our budget will be left to treat our darling little girl. Thank you :-)

ReplyDeleteAlso meant to say I have liked the Big W FB page :)
I would put it towards a Nintendo DS for my daughter. She has been asking for one ever since she was 4. Almost 7, I think now is a good time for one.
ReplyDeleteI like Big W on FB.
I would like to get my daughter ( or myself) the William and Catherine Barbie dolls. I think a little piece of history for my daughter to remember. She loved watching the wedding last year. She would absolutely love these.
ReplyDeleteSome soft toys for my gorgeous 4 month old niece, and nintendo wii games for my very cool 8 year old nephew. Am already a fan of Big W on facebook.
ReplyDeleteWith three lovely girls aged seven and under
ReplyDeleteThey're Barbie obsessed, is it any wonder?!
So I'd have to choose them at least one,
And some arts and crafts for rainy-day fun
With brands like Crayola, Derwent and Play-Doh
They're excellent quality as we all know.
And for the youngest I'd get some Fisher Price blocks
Or perhaps one of the awesome Laugh And Learn Clocks!
Big W's brilliant range and price are guaranteed
To ensure Christmas gift-giving is bound to succeed!

The $100 gift card would go towards an Action Round Trampoline with enclosure 8'. My daughter will get enough indoor toy presents from her grandparents and other family. Something outside to enjoy the fresh air is just the ticket for my little girl!
ReplyDeleteGosh, we'd love to get our little girl some duplo or mega blocks as well as some musical equipment :)

ReplyDeleteMy son's birthday is in Septbember and I want to get him an ipod touch - so I would put $100 towards that for him!

ReplyDeleteI would use the $100 to get my son a leap pad and to get my daughter her first doll.
I would spend $100 at Big W on new winter wardrobes for my two little kids and new underwear for my eldest. There is nothing better than new clothes or undies!
ReplyDeleteBarbie barbie and probably barbie for my 2 girls

ReplyDeleteI'd really like to stop the incessant complaining by my kids that they don't own a trampoline. They've been running a successful campaign for several months now of random Q&A's "Mum, when are we getting a trampoline?" and informing other people's children that "no," shaking head like someone's died. "They don't have a trampoline." And I get dark looks from other children like I've let the planet down. Sooo... I'll probably buy some BOOKS for them! Ha, ha!!
ReplyDeletePS Tweet, tweet! :) https://twitter.com/#!/misspetajo
ReplyDeleteI am TOTALLY like this!!! The mid year Christmas lay buys are the BEST!!! Last year I found it a little tricky as I was buying pressies for my unborn little girl - her birthday is July and I too have all her pressies and stuff for her party stashed in the cupboard!!!
ReplyDeleteI would just LOVE to get a play kitchen for my 2 little ones. It's just something way out of our price range, but a $100 gift card would certainally put it in the ball park!!!
Thanks for running this awesome comp!!!
With $100 to spend, I would have to get something for the entire family - LEGO, we all love it and you can never have too much!
ReplyDeleteI used to be organised and have gifts sorted month in advance, now I am lucky to have them the week before or rely on online purchases.
I would go crazy in either the costume jewellery section, or the yarn section. With $100, probably both!
ReplyDeleteI would buy my son a toy laptop so he can be just like his big sister and do his mathletics :-)

ReplyDeleteLiked big w on FB. I would spend the $100 gift card on lego duplo.
ReplyDeletesince the kids just got ipods the first spending would happen at the counter buying itunes cards, then we would grab that glee wii karaoke set as that is on my wishlist!
ReplyDeleteI liked Big W on FB (Alicia Webster) and I would get clothes for my three kids. We are living off of my husband's student loans, so my kids almost never get new clothes, just ones from friends' kids who have outgrown them.

I liked BigW on FB. I would spend the $100 on some art and craft supplies and activities so my kids could express themselves creatively.

ReplyDelete$100 would be spent on Duplo and Leap Frog App cards. We already have the Leap Pad explorer, it jut needs some games!

ReplyDeleteI'd spend it on a Vtech Buzz Lightyear Star Command Laptop for Buzz crazed Mr 6. It says it teaches 'basic Spanish'... I think this will give us a good laugh when we least expect it!!

ReplyDelete$100 would go a long way at the sale! Definitely some Duplo for my little girl, board games for family time and maybe a new scooter - that would cover educational needs, outdoor activity and some good old-fashioned fun!

I would say we would buy some Lego - we need some basic building blocks to build houses etc and upgrade from our Duplo.
ReplyDeleteI would buy a Lego sort and store and lots of lego!
ReplyDeleteThis would be sure to keep the kids entertained for hours and keep it all tidy too!
A Super Grover for my little boy, Lego Darth Vader clock for my big boy and a Leap Frog My Pal Violet for my new baby niece :-)
