I'm on the hunt for a sensory swing for a 3 year old with special needs. This is a gift for a family we picked from the "Angel Tree," so I'm afraid I don't have any other details. I don't know a single thing about these swings so if anyone has a rec, I'd love it!
ETA I will also add my dd LOVES hers and it is one of her most favorite and used things, so I do highly recommend them.
ETA again after reading more posts...we tried to do a pull up bar in a doorway install at first, and it started damaging the doorway because it was too much pressure. So I don't recommend that install. We had a handyman come to install it in our basement and that worked much better.
I guess Rothy’s has a site wide sale for the first time ever. And I’m going a bit crazy with my separation “treat yo self”.
So what do I need? How is the sizing, especially since you don’t have to wear socks (saw someone mention putting socks on the insert.
Speaking of socks, what are your go to non slip no show socks? I have a brand for my tied sneakers, but they’re a bit too high for my slip ons (Converse Shoreline). Everyone I’ve tried, even with the grip stuff, ends up under my foot after 10 steps.
I love rothys and have many pairs but be careful as the sizing is inconsistent. I wear a 10 in classic points and flats, a 9 in almond loafers, a 9.5 in sneakers, etc.
Some of the shoes are final sale- I wouldn't risk those. Look for ones that can be returned if they don't fit well.
Personally I'm looking at the tweed captoe points. I really wanted one of the navy ones but those are both final sale so I won't risk them.

Also Rothy’s is 2% cash back on Rakuten.
Do you find the size changes depending on whether they’re the pointed ones or not? I think I’ll buy two pairs and make sure I can return them as I’d hate to spend that kind of money on more painful shoes.

For Rothys fans - I have two pairs from years ago but found I needed more insole support. I just bought some Vivaia and they're the same type of knit fabric but with a little more padding/arch support. Not a ton, but more than the zero that Rothys have. They're also having a sale right now, and they don't usually, from what I've seen.

For me the points fit the same as the round toe flats. But I see a lot of people buy a half size bigger in points. For reference I would say my normal shoe size is 9 to 9.5 so I size up in the points.
Any recommendations for a saucer swing? My kids are 9 and 11 and we can install on either a tree or an existing playground.
Honestly don’t think it matters. We have one with the fine mesh center (not the open rope weave). It’s discolored from the sun over the last couple years, but still works as well as ever. The boys love it.

We have this kind also. First we got it at Aldi and that one lasted about 3 years. Then we got a replacement on Amazon. I swear they are all coming out of the same factory so it really doesn't matter. Both have been fine and well loved. Our house is the bus stop and every morning a pile of elementary schoolers enjoy it while waiting for the bus (it's in our front yard). My kids are teens now and they also still use it.
I've been on the fence about trying Youthforia foundation for days I'm going to pilates and running around doing errands. It's marketed as something you can do anything in, even sleep because it's actually skincare. I just got a bottle for 30% off. Anyone try it?

In Rothy’s round toe flats I’m my normal size. In the driver I’m a size up. For the socks, I like Ondo. They’re pricey but fit well and don’t slip.
I bought some clothes for SDs at Hollister, clothes for me and family PJs at Old Navy, vacuum cleaner at Kohl's (SD2 is planning to move to her first apartment in the spring, she's asking for apt stuff and wanted a vacuum), sheets and a PS5 controller at Target, skin care at Paula's Choice. Everyone's had 10%+ cash back at Rakuten
We have 2 of these: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BXKH48GS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 They come on by themselves every couple of hours and our cats flipping love them. One likes to chase the butterfly and the other likes the little toy that pops out of the holes. They both like the ball that goes around in the little track.
My DD and I both love the JLab earbuds. She just asked for a new pair in a different color, and Amazon has them for $19! I like the JLab as well as or better than my AirPod Pros. Especially if I’m going to have them in for a long time.

I have not, but I'm looking for a new makeup routine/brand for my "old" skin, lol. I'm only 42, but I see the point (from some ad I saw) that the makeup we used in our teens/twenties probably doesn't look as great with our skin now. Too heavy or highlight lines. I haven't worn face makeup regularly for years so I have no clue where to even start.

I'm 46 so I get it! I wear tinted moisturizer (Clinique) and just use a tiny bit of concealer when needed. I think less looks better. I only wear heavier coverage for photo type situations. Youthforia lets you pick your coverage and I picked very light, so we'll see! I use tinted moisturizer daily but I'm interested in this because it claims to be skincare foundation.

Bombas is my favorite ever. Pricy but they are 20% off today!
Skyzone has their annual pass for $150 which is the equivalent of 4 visits. My child loves this place so we always get it. You have to google the Black Friday deal and pull up your location since they don’t advertise it.
Any suggestion for a laptop to practice coding for a middle schooler? I have no idea what the minimum requirements would be and I would prefer not to spend an arm and a leg.

The code GOBIG25 got me 25% off at Bombas today, and they are 15% cashback at Rakuten.
I bought the first one earlier today. I'm debating buying the second one because our kitten keeps stealing the kids' Beenie Balls and they're pissed about it.
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a Drybar Smooth Shot hair dryer brush. It's on sale at Nordstrom and Amazon.
I'm also getting Anker Soundcore earbuds that I've been eyeing. They look to have similar features to Airpods pro but much cheaper.
I might get some Bombas, but it looks like Rakuten is back down to 2%. I might hold off until Monday to see if they have better Cyber Monday cash back. It looks like the 25% off on the site is thru Monday.
I got DD a pair of toddler winter boots from Kohls that were super cheap in case we get snow this year. Not very exciting but I hate spending a lot on winter gear that may or may not even be used.
I had planned to get the twins the little people farm set that was on sale at target. Now it's completely sold out! I didn't realize this would be a hot item. I don't see it on Amazon either.

It was in Amazon for a brief moment at $14.99 and I think Target may have also had that price which is why it’s totally sold out. I was going to get it for my niece.

It was such a good deal! This prompted me to check FB again and I found a used one, which I jumped on this time
