[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 453263, member: 84"] Susie, I like that "thinking of you" all year long thing. Your dad had the right idea. And I'm going to try that pretzel idea, easy child and Nichole are gaga for chocolate covered pretzels.......even if it's just something to have here on xmas day. Oh, I forgot, I found katie 2 Stephen King books that look new for a dime. And I picked up a Little Mommy cradle and babybuggy. Now I don't know what I'm going to do with those. They look brand new right out of the box, but I paid .50 cents for the pair. I just couldn't walk away from it. But I think Aubrey is too big, the more I look at it, that baby buggy is short, she is tall. I don't think toys for tots takes used toys anymore but maybe our local food pantry that also does xmas for kids will. It would make some little girl very happy. I have enough of this type thing for the grands playroom. See what I mean about buying for little girls?? lmao I LOVE Odd Lots!! But watch their toy prices around xmas, some of the stores put them on sale cheaper. But I bought a ton there last year really cheap. easy child is doing this too this year. She has always done it to some degree, some people in sister in law's family are really hard to buy for and honestly she has one sister in law whom you can't please no matter what......so she'll pick up something she might like at a yard sale instead of paying big bucks for something in a store. win/win If her sister in law doesn't like it she can get rid of it and easy child is not out much. This year it's whole hawg. This accident has put them into a major financial bind. For xmas Darrin only wants one thing from Santa. It's thing item from Call of Duty. Not sure how to describe it. But in the game they have these wooden mystery crates with question marks on the lids, inside are special guns to kill zombies. He thinks that is soooo cool. easy child has tried to talk him out of it, tried to tell him that it's only part of the game it's not real. No go. I'm so proud of myself. While cleaning the family room I found an old wooden box husband's bro had made for mother in law...it looks like what Darrin wants......just needs the question marks painted on it.....and to fill it with some toy guns, which I found at our Town & Country store!! The box is easy child's anyway, she forgot all about it because she kept it here due to no room. lol easy child decided to try to do it for him because it would be a special place to keep his to keep his toy guns and nerf bullets. This in my opinion makes xmas [B]fun[/B]. It's not the price, it's the thought and often the effort to get or do just the right thing for someone. [/QUOTE]
