I did the Black Friday thing from home this year and did nothing on Cyber Monday. I know, I need to plan much better next year so I can take advantage of the killer deals that were going on each of those days.
I made out pretty well by shopping online at Office Depot. They had the same deals as their Black Friday flyer in the store and online. I was able to snatch up two microSD/MiniSD/SD cards that were 2GB each. We are going to be using them in our new EnV phones when we can actually buy those phones. My contract is up in January and then I can start a new one. I am looking forward to unlimited texts, pix, and flix all over the place. And with the new EnV I am going to make use of all the great features.
One of the features is bluetooth. I also picked up two bluetooth headsets. This was in part due to the fact that my current phone. The evil little bastard, isn’t working correctly with a wired headset and I can’t use the speakers on the phone itself. It is weird, I’ve done the hard reset a number of times and it hasn’t worked. I’m toughing it out for another month or so.
Despite my poor planing I think I did make out pretty well on Black Friday.
Today I received a package in the mail of products to test out and review. They were from Vat19.com. This site has many great fun items if the three I received were any indication of what they have available. I received some Insta Snow Fake Snow Powder (I am going to save that for a practical joke at work and video that.). I also received some Color Flames Colored Candles that have colored flames. Those look like they will be fun at the next birthday party. I will have to try one of them soon too. Who’s birthday is coming up next. And the third item I received made me thing that maybe I had received some chocolate chip cookies in the mail was 1 Smencils Gourmet Scented Pencil. My Smencil was obviously chocolate scented and I really shouldn’t have used it to write the shopping list for the week as I ended up just listing things like, brownies, chocolate kisses and chocolate chip cookies.
The Smencil is a good idea for a few reasons. First of all they are made from recycled newspapers and one newspaper can make 400 Smencils. The Smencils come in packs of 10, each one in its own tube and they give off more scent when sharpened. there are 10 flavors including Chocolate, Orange, Cherry, Cotton Candy, Grape, Watermelon, Popcorn, Root beer, Very Berry, and Bubble Gum.
An Item that Vat19.com has but I didn’t receive is a USB Xmas Tree. Being the gadget lover I would have truly enjoyed some holiday cheer on my desk at work with this sweet little USB tree. It would totally rock out on my desk at work.
