Permit me to whine about my gift certificate

Oh pea...pack them both!!!!

I will! :clap_1: I told my husband last week this is going to be such an easy trip to pack for--don't have to take any work or going-out clothes, don't have to agonize over which swimsuits are the most flattering...ah, bliss! And the best news of all is, we just got our laptop last week, so I can send dispatches!

I wonder how many laptops have been sold so SoWallers can stay plugged in while IN SOWAL! Maybe Kurt should get a cut? :funn:

Yes, I'm thinking the earlier suggestion of movie gift certificates is the absolute safest way to make someone happy. I love going to movies and don't go to as many as I want to.

Question....would you have rathered cash instead of the gift certificate??? Nah...didn't think so. However, don't kids prefer cash to gc's??? I am always fearful that they will get lost or go forgotten.

Guess we need to start Peapod's birthday countdown!!!

Only if we focus on the day and not the years...

I think my kiddos prefer giftcards to money. They love to receive a giftcard to spend at their favorite stores. My 12-year-old son likes them so much he initially informed everyone that this year he wanted only giftcards for Christmas, then changed his mind when he realized he'd miss out on all the present opening!

Yeah, not much fun to play with on Christmas morning. My kids love them too. They think it's their own credit card.

I thought it was so cute when my son changed his mind, though. It was like he realized his idea was good in concept, but the thought of the reality of it made him say, "Now waaaaaait a minute!"
