Sesame Street K’Nex giveaway
Recently I was sent a sample of a new building set just released by K’Nex. (I would have saved this review for next month, except they requested that I mention it now. If you’re doing 30 Days of Nothing this month, please don’t let this post throw off your groove, OK? 
) The sets feature Sesame Street characters and are made for kids in the 2-5 year old range. They can be played with all on their own or can be added to other Kid K’Nex sets. You can see them at http://knex.com/sesame-street-building-sets/
The really fun thing is that YOU, my wonderful readers, have a chance to win one of these sets for yourself. To enter the drawing, just comment on this post and let me know if you’ve begun your Christmas shopping yet. If you would like your name entered TWICE, also mention this giveaway on your own blog sometime between now and Thursday evening. Don’t forget to come back and comment again to let me know about the post. On Monday, October 6th I will announce a winner.
I’ve started my Christmas shopping, but only by way of super-cheap deals I’ve been accumulating over the past year and even before that! I have slippers for both my kids that I know I’ve had for AT LEAST 2 years, and maybe their feet will finally be big enough this year that I can give the slippers to them!
I did just sit down and write out a list of who all I’ll need to buy for–that always seems to be when panic strikes!
Hi-
Yes I have begun xmas shopping. My son has a close birthday to then so its good to start early.
Love K-nex

Nope. I have not started Christmas shopping. I am doing good to have my weekly grocery shopping finished!
I do have a son who has a mild obsession with building and Sesame Street so I would love to get started with this prize!
I have started mentally Christmas shopping, but with our 30 Days of Nothing I haven’t actually started anything. The most important part has been decided…the budget.
I have a few things stashed away that I’ve picked up here or there, but I haven’t started the serious shopping yet.
Haven’t started Christmas shopping yet, but we have started planning a little. My 2 and 3 year old boys would love these!
I have, but I am knitting a lot of gifts (Again! why do I torture myself!) so mostly is it just yarn in a pile staring at me waiting for me to DO SOMETHING. Oh the pressure!!
I am hoping to complete my Christmas shopping my Thanksgiving, however we may need to wait for the profit from my Thanksgiving pie sale to do the shopping. Either way, God is good and will provide the funds at the right time for the right deals with the right amount of holiday traffic I am supposed to encounter.
I’m also going to be baking and crafting gifts as well.
Technically I have started my Christmas shopping by getting stuff for my nieces and nephews. Don’t be too impressed. I did not plan to start, I just ran into a really great deal on some dvd’s at Lifeway a few weeks ago.
Yup – have started my Christmas shopping. I’m doing “Crafty Christmas” with my daughter for all the relatives, so we’ve already made a birdhouse, photo albums and picture frames. We do one a day as our arts and craft project. She’s even making all our Christmas cards!
Well, as far as Christmas shopping, I have started a list of things people have said they would like to have. I try to eavesdrop on conversations and pick up tidbits of info that helps later. Unfortunately, there are 7 family members including myself who have birthdays before Christmas so that makes it harder! But I have found 1 very special thing for my 9 YO that he will LOVE!
I haven’t started my shopping, but I’ve definitely been THINKING about it. Does that count?? I have a little 3 yr old boy who would go crazy for these, so I’m crossing my fingers!
Yes, and I have started addressing my Christmas cards too!
Thank you
I have made some good progress on Christmas shopping. A lot yet to do, though. However, I am doing a lot of photo books and photo playing cards this year. If I am going to clutter up people’s houses, it should be with cute pictures of my kids!
I have purchased 1 Christmas gift, but I am planning to make my lists and get started next week!
I’d love to get these for my eight children! Thanks for the give-away!
My two little ones would love these! And yes, I’ve started my Christmas shopping. I try to shop a little all year long to avoid the crunch and spare my checking account =)
I accidently started my shopping. At Kohls about a month ago I found a great sale on their Fisher Price toys. B1/F1, plus 10% off early bird, plus 15% coupon. I paid very little for a bunch of Little People sets.
the closest i’ve come to starting my christmas shopping is drawing names with the in-laws this past weekend. so, at least i know who i need to shop for!
I have kind of started my Christmas shopping but I’ve only bought small stuff like stocking stuffers. This would be great for my nephew. Thanks for the chance!
I blogged about your giveaway here: http://everythingupclose.blogspot.com/2008/09/giveaways-great-way-to-start-week.html
Yes – I just started my Christmas shopping last week at Sharon’s Hearts of Hope garage sale
! I am so blessed to have kids who are happy to recieve “used” gifts, Sharon’s kids were so great to part with awesome toys, and the best part is the $ I spent will help adoptive families recieve grants – it’s like 2 gifts in one. This is my first time seing your blog and I’m sure I’ll read often – as an adoptive family I love adoptive family blogs. We love K’Nex, too, so thanks for the chance in the giveaway! Blessings, Kathy
I haven’t begun matching up people with gifts yet, but I’ve got a stash of items in my closet that I’ve bought throughout the year with the mindset that whatever it was would make a good gift for someone.
I actually have started already this year. I’ve also started making things. Now if I can just keep up the momentum!
Well so far I have gotten 2 gifts so far. I am on a tight budget this year as I am off work as I just had my 4th baby. But this is giving me more time to shop now and find better deals.
thanks for this contest
I have a coupl eof things stored away already for Christmas. And I also have a list already – which will help. I tend to forget things so I make sure to write it down when I see it!! ladeebug224 at hotmail dot com
started the day after last year but still not done
I have just started Christmas shopping.
This is my first time responding on your site! I love it!!! Thanks!!! I’m a mom of 3, including a 2 yo boy who was born in South Korea. I am doing 30 Days of Nothing with you, so I haven’t bought anything this month. But I shop all year long for friends and family!

Well, actually, I picked up a Christmas gift today! I always get an early jump on holiday shopping. I can’t stand the crowds and it stresses me out to spend so much in one month. Much easier to spread it out.
I have’nt yet. I usually start late October.
I haven’t really started shopping for Christmas, but I did pick up a shirt on a clearance rack for my 6 yr old…If I can keep it till Christmas!
Oh yes, I’m an all year shopper. This can be good and this can be bad….bad when you forget to write what you bought and for whom and you buy for them again.
I’ve finished my shopping for the nieces and siblings, but haven’t started for my own kids. Do we really need more toys in this house? hee hee
I haven’t started yet, but I need to as I’m due at Thanksgiving! Somehow I don’t see mixing a newborn with Christmas shopping as being very easy
Unless looking at catalogs and making a few notes/lists counts, I haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet! Yikes! Need to get a move-on.
I’ll mention this on my blog…my 4 year old would LOVE his own Knex set. For Christmas. LOL
These are so cute. I have a HUGE sesame street fan at my house!! I have started my Christmas lists and purchased a few things I am really excited about at a local craft fair.
Christine
No, I haven’t started my shopping yet! This prize would be a great gift and and a great way to start though…lol! Thanks.
Yes, I’ve started Christmas shopping. We hope to be on our adoption trip in November/December, so I need to finish quickly!
I haven’t started yet, but I have to start soon!
Oh yeah I am starting on my shopping because we are in on a tight budget (who isnt right?) havent even gotten 1/2 done but oh well I am still working!
This is my first time entering a contest, but I thought my 4-year-old would love this, so I thought I’d try! I’ve bought a couple of stocking stuffer type items for Christmas, but that’s about it so far!
No, I haven’t started Christmas shopping yet. I’m just trying to get through all the prep for our county fair which starts Sunday. Our kids are in 4H and 2 of them have livestock in the fair (turkeys and chickens). Plus, I enter baked goods, knitting and photography myself. Lots of fun and lots of work! Our little guys would love the k’nex set….anything that allows them to “build” something is a hit!!!
Just started this week…found a couple things on clearance
This set is adorable. Our two-year-old daughter is Sesame Street obsessed. We haven’t started shopping yet, although I do have a few things tucked back from throughout the last year. I’ve got to get started on my homemade items, or I’m going to regretting it Christmas Eve.
I have started shopping for Christmas…can’t pass up a good deal, so if I see one I buy it!~ Melissa
I am such an organized freak, I have already got my Christmas shopping halfway done! I just have a few of the “really hard to shop for” people left on my list, and my girls.. I have to wait for Hubby’s big Christmas bonus for that one! But I have a nephew that LOVES “street Streeeet!!” and he would love the K’nex!
Surprisingly, yes, I have begun my shopping.
My 5-year-old son would love the Elmo set. The older K’Nex sets are kind of hard for him to play with and these sets would be perfect. I do my Christmas shopping all year long on sale items. I put everything into my “gift tub” and then try to match the gifts to people come December.
