Last year's Christmas Gift Ideas blog post didn't get posted until the end of November. I'm trying to be on top of it this year and post by September and then add to the blog post through December.

Jace has been talking about a scooter for the past few months. Well, I finally found one for a great deal! On Instagram, I follow @ilikedeals_net and they shared a scooter on Amazon for $18 which is a price drop from $30! I purchased it two days ago and went on today and it is unavailable so
