Meri was invited to a birthday party! She got the invite yesterday and it's for today... Since I had NO time to get to the store between last night at 8:30 and this morning, she and I dug through our gift stash box.
Meri and Claire - on again, off again friends since preschool
I keep a box of gifts to use for Christmas or random occasions in my office. After a holiday, if I remember, I go online and check out Target, KMart, JCPenneys, Sears, etc and check out their clearance page. Sometimes you can find awesome deals for just a minute fraction of the original cost. Especially in seasonal clothes!
Meri and Claire - on again, off again friends since preschoolThis past year I found something that I thought maybe a nephew would want. It's so cool. When I pulled it out of the box, Meri said, "Can I play with that tonight?" I knew it would be a hit for her friend's gift!
So ok! Her tomboyish friend is getting a Rockem Sockem Robot game!

Oh I love it! Who cares if it's boyish, I think that's why they'll enjoy playing with it.
I remember playing with one when I was a kid. Fun stuff!
So cool you have a stash of gifts. I should think about doing something like that.
I had that too! Awesome game!
Have a great weekend!
I loved that game. Bet they'll have a great time at the party.
Ahh! That's cool!
"The spares" are the kids that are over at our house so much we should get a tax write off for them
We say they are our "spare kids" in case we need more. : )
Good save! I always buy an extra christmas ornament and wrap it and keep it in my car all of Christmas season. Then when someone gives me a gift and I forgot about them, I grab the gift!
Love it! I want one!
Also, I admire your motivation in keeping spare gifts around. I should really, really do that.
My kids want this game so much. I love how things we had as kids are cool again. Now I can play this game. Unlike the millions of video games my kids know how to play, and I just stare blankly at the screen, drooling, like a lobotomized fool.
There is nothing better than a gift cupboard... my aunt has one and I am forever running over there to steal stuff!! :0)
I LOVE having a gift closet. Mine is really small now, and we don't need it a lot, but I still have a few goodies stashed just in case.
None of mine are as fun as the robots you had!!
Lucky friend! That game is AWESOME! Stopping by from SITS. Congrats on your day!
