Christmas Shopping at Target

If you will be Christmas Shopping for your children this Black Friday, may I be so bold as to make a few suggestions that the kids and I spotted at Target? Luckily, I happened to have my camera with me today to help showcase all that Target has to offer:

The Criss Cross Slot Machine. We like to get them started gambling (and addicted) at a young age over here at the Wright Household. The great thing about a slot machine is the house always wins, so we get to enjoy the kid's money while they spend countless hours zoned out in front of said slot machine. Additional Bonus: we get to rough our kids up as they beg and plead, "Please, one more time. Let me…let me just call Grandma…I know she'll spot me. I'm good for it, I swear…"

And look at that price—only $19.99. You get ripped off even before the initial pull on that lever!

A Poker Table Top (yes, in the toy section). To be purchased for the same reasons given for Slot Machine.


A Game of Chess. Braden will be President of this Club one day, so it would be smart to get him started now.


A Gun. Do I really need to explain this one? Well, in case it isn't obvious, the same reason holds true that you can never get them started too young on these kinds of things.

Here we can see Brinley making use of the bonus feature: pulling the trigger and hearing actual gunshots…nice touch Gunslinger.


Singing Spiderman. Braden really took to this little guy and I can see why. I mean, Spiderman is so completely comfortable with his masculinity that he'll sing and dance with you—there's no shame in his game!!

Shake it, Spidey!! Crime-fighter by day, Karaoke singer by night!

The Voice Changer. This little number will allow us endless hours of prank calling…nothing bonds a Mother to her child quite like calling Grandma, breathing heavily into the phone, and saying, "Where's your granddaughter Brinley at? Do you know? Because I do." Endless fun...


Macaroni and Cheese. Ok, so this is not a Christmas gift, per se, but I couldn't pass up the chance of taking a picture of clearance Cans of Macaroni and Cheese. I have never seen this before and wanted to document it for posterity. Yum!!!

Happy Shopping!

It sounds like you guys all need to move to Vegas or maybe that particular Target to Vegas. I can't believe you found all these addictive toys at that most beloved store. Are you sure we are shopping at the same store?
