This thread has been quiet.
I’ve finally gotten on a roll with ideas and have some shopping done. My biggest issue has been the younger two moving away from toys. I hit upon the idea of making them boxes of their interests. Younger DD is really into nail art so I’ve ordered her a nail dryer, big set of nail polishes w/storage case, design plates, rhinestones, tools, artificial nails to practice on etc. For DS I’m putting together a box for clay art, clay, tools, wire, rolling machine, pliers and cutters and a book on technique. I’m having DH put together a home repair toolbox for older DD. Now I just have to (not so) patiently wait for Pre and Black Friday sales for the bigger stuff on my list.
I will say if you do a lot of online ordering give yourself PLENTY of time. I’m assuming because of the storms etc. delivery is just a mess. I keep getting delays and no shows with no explanation until days later or not at not at all. The tracking is no help whatsoever. Nothing has been consistent or predictable.
