This month I bought a lot because Christmas. I wanted to get a head start on my shopping, so I bought a ton up front. And then I bought a bunch during Black Friday/Cyber Monday. How much did you buy this month?

So what did I buy?
I thought this would be a fun game to play with the girls. I have always enjoyed the normal version.
I got the girls these two books from their elf on a shelf this year. We always get them Christmas books each year.
My girls love playing with Kinetic Sand. We just have bags of it, but after visiting their cousins, they wanted a kit. This one seems really cute and they love helping me bake recently.
My kids love to build forts, but we often don't have enough chairs or things to build with. So this kit solves the problem. They only have to add blankets over it. I got the kit with 120 pieces.
I went through these quickly this time because I did the three in one cleaning a month or two ago, so it was time for a repurchase.
I get these wipes to wipe out the washing machine in between the big Affresh cleaning sessions.
I bought this tea set for the girls, but upon arrival, it was broken. So I sent it back and got the Pottery Barn one that I put in the Kids Gift Guide.
I bought this for an event that I had which ended up being cancelled due to COVID. After trying it on, I felt like it showed every lump, bump and imperfection. It was sent back.
I figured it was time to put all of my ornaments in one box. Ok, I will have to buy another one of these, but I will do that next month before I take everything down. I searched Amazon and this one had good reviews and wasn't pricey.
Andrea influenced me on this one. We are always telling the girls to tuck their hair behind their ears at dinnertime, so their hair doesn't get in their food. It never stays behind their ears, so I got them these to wear at dinnertime and any other time.
The girls brought to my attention that they don't have markers in the house. I had no idea and could have sworn we did, but they were right. So this will be another Christmas gift.
The girls also told me that they wanted magic wands for Christmas. I had no idea what that really meant, but I searched on Amazon and found a ton of them. This is the one I got them each.
Rory's work has an angel tree and we picked a couple tags off of it. One requested a VTech toy for a newborn to 1 year old girl, so I thought this was a cute gift.
The girls had fun playing with their cousins legos last time we were over there, so I got them each a lego set for Christmas.
I got two sets of these. One for my nephew and one for the girls. That way they can play together or seperately.
I needed new placemats for Christmas and I couldn't find any locally. Everywhere was sold out of them even before Thanksgiving, so I ordered these on Amazon.
It was time to replace our lingerie bags and these had great reviews. We wash bathing suits, face masks, bras, etc. in these and they save your clothes from stretching out.
What did you buy this month? I went a bit crazy, but got a bunch of Christmas gifts out of the way.
