You can parlay that gift card into at least four fun outings with a treat, toy, and book each time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-card-to-barnes-amp-noble#post-2687822 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 23:30:50 +0000 looch 2687822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: haha. my son would squirrel it away and when we got to the store, would want legos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-card-to-barnes-amp-noble#post-2687800 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 22:46:08 +0000 caterw 2687800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely spread it out! My kid loves to go pick out a book and hang out there (and you can use the gift cards in the Starbucks too if you want to let him get a little treat). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-card-to-barnes-amp-noble#post-2687581 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 17:18:59 +0000 winniebee 2687581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: it's for the 2 year old so he has no idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-card-to-barnes-amp-noble#post-2687549 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:42:09 +0000 looch 2687549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does he know he has it? My son would insist on getting toys from there, so I think I might show him some books that I pre selected online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-card-to-barnes-amp-noble#post-2687483 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 15:46:17 +0000 autumnlove 2687483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would spread it out too! I love B&amp;N! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-card-to-barnes-amp-noble#post-2687451 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 15:24:51 +0000 PinkElephant 2687451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree I'd spread it out (and maybe get some toys, too!)...I'd also try to know your book prices before you go. I know the point was to choose books, but certain types of books are SO MUCH CHEAPER elsewhere that I'd feel like I was wasting money/value if I let DD get those at B&amp;N. </p> <p>If you want to really help direct his purchases, I think it can be fun to get a book and a toy (puppet, action figures, tube animals, etc.) along the same theme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-card-to-barnes-amp-noble#post-2687448 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 15:22:30 +0000 fancyfunction 2687448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd give my daughter a set amount we could spend at a time. So maybe say "you can pick out 2 books and a toy today." Just to spread it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-card-to-barnes-amp-noble#post-2687414 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 15:01:20 +0000 winniebee 2687414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: ooooh that's a good point. He does needs books but maybe we could do a combo visit :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-card-to-barnes-amp-noble#post-2687401 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 14:56:08 +0000 LBee 2687401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Barnes and Nobles has an awesome toy selection. We got magnatiles from there as well as a vet kit that my son uses everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-card-to-barnes-amp-noble#post-2687396 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 14:55:19 +0000 winniebee 2687396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R received a $100 gift card to Barnes and Noble for his birthday last month. We haven't taken him to get any books yet. How would you go about spending it? Go and stock up on a variety and types of books now? Let him go every few months to pick out a few books? Wait until he needs a distraction or we need something to do and go? </p>
