While I’ve never been one of those wake-up-early-and-camp-outside-a-store people for Black Friday, I am quite the internet deal finder. So, each year I make myself a little ‘watch list’ for items that I want to purchase utilizing those Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals.
This year I just have two items on my list – and they are both on Jack’s Christmas wish list:
Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet – Amazon link here
I love my Fire HD 10 Tablet and it is super convenient to use for Kindle reading and Netflix watching. Jack has recently started asking for a tablet of his own (he used to have a kid’s Kindle), so I have been looking into tablet options. Once we narrowed down that he wanted to do with it – mainly play Minecraft, play other app based games, and use drawing/art/animation apps – it seems like a Fire HD 10 will work for him too. Right now, they cost $139.99 but I’m crossing my fingers that they go on sale for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday holiday. If I get a good deal on the tablet, I’ll also be looking for a case as well.
NEX Playground Game System – Amazon Link Here
I had Jack look around Target’s toys and electronics section on a recent trip to get some ideas for his Christmas list. They had a NEX Playground set up to try and he absolutely loved it. It is an AI-powered motion tracking video game console. You hook it up to your television and it comes with 5 interactive games to play. A separate purchase of a Quarterly pass ($49) or Annual pass ($89) is required to access the full catalog of 20+ games and they release new games on the pass each month. The NEX system costs $199 and doesn’t look like it goes on sale often, so I’m crossing my fingers for a little price break around Thanksgiving. As for the quarterly/annual pass, we will be adding that to Jack’s Amazon wish list for family members (along with Fortnight gift cards and Amazon gift cards).
Are you planning to do any online Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday or Cyber Monday shopping?

Maybe. I’m not sure what I would want to look at yet. I wish they would have dog stuff on sale. Those treats can get expensive. Blue Buffalo Dog food too! I could use a discount on that! I am putting my tree up on black fri., so I may be busy with that. Good luck with the tablet. I love my Fire 8.
