The Welker Christmas Gift Exchange 2009

Rules:

1. Gift(s) given must include something made by the gift giver
2. All gifts must not total over $40. This includes the cost of making your homemade gift.
3. You may not have your spouse as your gift recipient.

To maintain the Secret Santa’s identity and to make things easier we propose the following. We can each add a comment to this post with wishlist items. List anything you think might help, clothing sizes, interests, etc.

You cannot edit a comment after you leave it, so if you have additional items at a later date, just leave new comments. I know this isn’t ideal, but I thought this way, everyone would have one place to correspond with each other.

    Hattie also loves bathtub crayons, and girlie type toys and scrubbies for the bath. Bubble Bath that is fragrant free- she is a delicate little flower (skin wise)! They make Barbies that can go into the bath tub!

    Any type of small writing journal/notepad. She likes PlayDoh.

    The only idea Drew has given me so far is a poster of guitar cords.

    I think he also wants some grey Converse shoes but I’m not sure if those are less than $40. He wears size 12.

    I added these to Kate’s wishlist too. I guess it’s a family wishlist now. 🙂

    I’ve seen the Converse at Kohls… they may be cheaper there with all of the coupon shoppers in the family.

    I would love the new Nicholas Sparks Book, The Last Song. A Land’s End Beach Bag with a Monogram (S, or Schwamburger). I also love gift cards, You may think CG’s are lame but really, I LOVE them. iTunes, Starbucks, Old Navy, Target. A real treat would be the new Medela Hands-Free Breast Pump but it cost $379 so unless you can help me win the contest for a free one on the website, I don’t think that’s an option. 🙂 http://www.medelabreastfeedingus.com/mom-of-the-month-program.

    For what it’s worth. Amazon has had universal wish lists for a while now. You can create a list and put anything on it, even if it isn’t at Amazon. You can also use Google’s shopping list. This might be helpful, if someone wants something that is hard to describe.
