I've mailed two packages overseas in the past three weeks, and the US postal service no longer offers the "slow boat" method of shipping. Everything is sent via air. Anyone that is shopping for someone overseas will have to pay careful attention to the weight of the package or it could get quite pricey.Originally Posted by halfpint
I'm excited to I wish we could do the draw earlier just in case of bloopers in the mail type thingee
That way we would have more time to find something reallllly good

I like to pick up little SS things when I see them. Sometimes my boys end up with them though.
Helen - I'm so impressed that you've got your husband SS shopping!!

The other night DH and I were out and he found something and said this would be good for one of your SS gifts. So he bought it!!

Brandi, what makes you think all of us could show our 30 yr old bellies????Originally Posted by Phenomsmom
ooh and chekc out EBAY for stuff too. I got like 50 belly rings for $10 bucks so my SS got some of those. I think it worked out to like .20 cents each. That left me more money to spend on bigger gifts!
You don't have to show them off! I love having different ones and I almost NEVER show my 22 year old belly!Originally Posted by LuckyGirl

I love that section at Target! They have some reallllly cute stuff!Originally Posted by katl8e
For those in the US, the dollar section at Target is a great place for stocking stuffers. They have loads of notepads, pens, pencils, refrigerator magnets, etc. I get a bunch of this stuff and fill up a stocking with it. (My granddaughters get coloring books, crayons and ponytail holders, from that section). Target usually has a good selection of kitty-themed socks, too.
Big Lots has name-brand kitty toys and treats, as well as candles, cookies, candles, cat calenders and bath stuff.
You can fill up a nice box, without busting the budget.
