I told yall a few weeks ago that I would keep you up to date on all the Black Friday sales. Well here’s the one everyone has been waiting for, the Wal-Mart ad. But I’m only giving you a teaser and listing just a few of the items that really stood out to me:
Kodak c183 Digital Camera $59
Nikon L110 Digital Camera $199
I Am… World Tour (Music DVD) (Walmart Exclusive) $10
Emerson 32inch LCD HDTV $198 or Emerson 42inch LCD HDTV $398
Zhu Zhu Pets $4 each
Nintendo DS Lite $89
Kids Sleepwear $4
You know how when kids are babies you usually can give them a pacifier to suck on when they become restless? But what do you pacify them with when they become 6 years old and up? I’ve discovered my answer. The Nintendo DSi XL. This has got to be one of my most valuable investments in “kids toys”. My son has gone from the game boy up to this new model over the past few years. By me having to do personal shopping alot, he sometimes has to come in tow with me to the stores. I lie to you not, I put him in a chair in a store with this gadget and he’s quiet the whole time. The system takes pictures and saves them to a SD card, it plays music and has internet access all in addition to actually playing video games on a wide 5 inch screen.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t go out and purchase a new system full price everytime they come out, I would be broke if I did that. But what I always do is take advantage of the trade in program from the game chain store “Game Stop”. My son originally had the smaller version DSi and we upgraded to the DSi XL when it came out in April. A brand new DSi XL will cost you $190 but since I was trading in his old system towards it, I only had to pay about $75 for a brand new DSi XL system. (You must bargain shop with everything, not just clothing).
Well as I just stated I just got this new system in April and I’m reading the new “Gameinformer” magazine and there is gonna be a newer version coming out by March 2011. It’s called the Nintendo 3DS. This will be a 3D gaming system. Everything seems to be going 3D nowadays. The 3D TV’s are already on shelves. But I personally am not one for sitting around with those weird glasses on all day. The 3DS doesn’t require the glasses and that immediately peaked my interest.
The 3DS will have a large screen but instead of two cameras it will have three. I guess the most exciting thing about it for me is that it will be able to show movies too. Well parents I know that some of you may not agree with such an expensive piece of equipment for a child, but this is just “my” personal opinion and review and I believe that it is an investment well spent!!!

Here’s a promo video:
What hasn’t the new movie “Sex and the City 2″ inspired? Along with fashion I’m also a gadget queen and as I was reading Allure magazine today I saw this advertisement. Not that I need another laptop but if I had the money to splurge, $599, I would get this gold netbook just because. The metallic color is so girlie….and Carrie Bradshaw-ish!
Mini 210-1099SE Vivienne Tam Edition
Besides being able to see inside the laptop, the specs for the beauty have finally been revealed. The netbook weighs 2.6 pounds, has a built-in web cam, and it’s running HP’s instant-on software (HP QuickWeb) that gives users access to the web, Facebook, Twitter, listening to music, sending emails and chatting, all within seconds – without having to boot into your computer. The HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition also comes with a “butterfly lovers” desktop theme that includes an animated butterfly start menu, custom Vivienne Tam icons and three wallpapers to coordinate with the design. It looks like a matching micro-fiber suede sleeve is also included in the box.
