Join me at the Kmart Layaway Twitter Party Wednesday 11/9 from 8-9:30 EST – #KmartChat

Holiday, Twitter Parties, , ,

I love the idea of layaway.  People use layaway to buy things they might not otherwise be able to buy for themselves, their kids, their parents, or friends.

Here are a few things you might now have known about Kmart Layaway:

  1. You can put items on layaway year-round at Kmart
  2.  You can layaway items online at Kmart.com
  3. You can calculate your layaway payments on Kmart.com here

Kmart layaway is a convinent, easy way to pay for products over time. Shop for virtually anything and bring your items to the Kmart layaway counter in the store or add them to your shopping cart online.Your down payment includes the Service Fee and is due when you initiate your contract.Make payments every two weeks online or at any Kmart register with cash, check or debit/credit card. Simply pick up your items after you make your last payment or schedule your pick-up after making your final payment online. Try it today here!

My Top 5 Ultimate #Layaway Wish List Items

RCA 42″ 1080p FULL HD LCD TV

This one would be for my husband, not me.  I’m not a huge fan of television but my husband is and really wants a new TV.

Gardman USA Inc. EasyStart 6 x 6 Greenhouse

This would be for my mom.  She loves gardening and has wanted a Greenhouse forever!

Garden Oasis Chesterfield 3-piece Patio Bistro Set

This would be for ME!  I am pretty happy with our back patio furniture set but we don’t have an ‘official’ set on our front patio which is where I sit 80% of the time I’m outside.

Craftsman 21 HP* Automatic 46″ Lawn Tractor (Available in 49 States)

This would be for my husband but for me, indirectly.  I appreciate that my husband enjoys mowing the yard but the entire process of mowing, blowing, and cleaning takes hours.  This handy riding mower would help save time and make the process more efficient, I’m sure!

Smooth Fitness CE 3.6 Elliptical

This would be for my husband and I. Our treadmill is pretty old and we are ready for a change of equipment.. how cool would this be?

What is Chasing Fireflies?

Chasing Fireflies - Queen of Hearts Costume
Chasing Fireflies - Queen of Hearts Costume

I had this grand plan of sitting down with my five year old at a quiet time and place to present her with the Chasing Fireflies catalog from which I would allow her to pick her Halloween Costume for this year.  Well, that didn’t happen.  While I was on the phone with a client, she found the catalog, picked it up and ran outside to the front porch to flip through the pages.  She was in heaven.  She wanted this costume, that costume, that tiara with that costume, those sparkly shoes with the other costume and she really wanted them all right then!
She said “mama, go check the mailbox, maybe they are in there”.
“No, baby.. we have to order a costume and then it will take some time to arrive” I said.

It took her about 30 minutes to narrow her selection down to one costume and since the moment I ordered the costume, she’s asked “is it here yet” about three hundred times.

The costume should arrive tomorrow and I will post photographs of my daughter wearing the costume then!

UPDATE: My daughter’s Queen of Hearts costume arrived today from Chasing Fireflies.   When she saw the bag with the costume inside it, she ran to the couch, laid down, and started kicked her feet and banging her hands into the couch while shaking her head back and forth screaming “I’m so excited, I’m so excited”!  I haven’t seen her that excited in.. forever.  Seriously, she’s NEVER done that before.   So we took the costume out of the garment bag and her little face turned bright red as she held her breath in anticipation.  (She’s really into dress up clothes!)  She put the costume on and hasn’t taken it off since.. it’s been about 2 hours now.  When she saw the neighbors walking their dog a little while ago, she asked me if she could go outside and show the little girl her new costume.  She’s so proud!

Visit Chasing-Fireflies.com and check out their selection of beautiful costumes.  The costumers are a bit on the costly side BUT if your daughter is anything like mine and puts on a dress up outfit right when she gets home from school most days, then you will see your return on investment very quickly, I assure you! 🙂
