Christmas In July Package Train!!! Read Post 3242!!! (pg 217)

[Jody22002]

Dear buddy, I live close to a British store and several European stores, is there anything you would like from the other side of the pond?

My 16 year old LoVES anything British. It's the current theme of her bedroom!

Ok... so I've managed a light lunch so I don't bite off the next client walking in the door.... Not a good thing for business.

So.. here's what I think I've missed..

Would you like anything from Michaels? I go occasionally but am not up-to-date on everything they have.. I know a few of my WL items can likely be found there though...

Or liquid hand soaps, hair or foot treatments if they carry that type of thing.

#2. Would you like any glade products?? Scented oil Candels ( the ones that melt in the pretty burners ) or plug in's, spray refills etc??? I don't care for the solids, but any of the oil burning type or the automatic sprays or refills would be great.

As long as it's not Marmite, blood sausage or haggis I'd love to try some.

Do you scrapbook?
Nope

Would you like treats for your pets and/or toys?
Cat treats would be welcome.. preferably the soft kind as she doesn't get very excited about the hard ones.. too much like her kibby I guess? Likely not toys either.. she has lots, but enjoys a strip of paper that entertains her for hours. (Weird.. I know)

Buddy, would you and your family like any clothing? If so, what? And what are your sizes?
Hmm, normally I'm a medium but i'm pretty picky as I don't like my rolls to show... so to be safe.. sandals or shoes would be great, size 6... I actually wanted to try "girlifying" a pair of flip flops a la Pinterest.. taking ribbon and jewels to make them pretty.. but ya.. hasn't happened yet.

Ok, time for a question for my buddy. Buddy, it's Redemption weekend at SDM, anything that you can use from Shoppers?

[julesie-pie]

Buddy, while cleaning my house I thought of some questions for you.... ( yes I am that addicted that it sneaks into all my thoughts, anyways have to make cleaning somewhat fun )

1. What is your favorite color?
2. What is that one thing that you really, really want, but wont buy for yourself?

1. I don't have favourite colour, but strongly dislike the colour orange. That being said DD looks great in orange & I love this shirt but hummed too long & they are out for her size (4T) online, maybe they still carry them in store....

http://oldnavy.gapcanada.ca/browse/p...&pid=334244103

DD favourite colour is purple

2. Ribena (the not the syrup one). All this talk about British stores & products are giving me craving. There is a British store near me (that the lovely CLB told me about) but I still haven't gone because I don't drive & always seem to come with 'well i suppose I don't really need these thing' sigh

Thank you so much for the buddies I am headed to town tomorrow for doctors appt and..... SHOPPING!!!!! Woohoo can't wait to spoil my buddy.

Please no more stuffed animals for Alexa (we don't have room for any more)

Your Questions, Answered!
Do you want any Christmas items? No thanks! Storage space is at a premium in this house!

If you had to pick one of the following trading/train supplies, which would you prefer:
Mailing address labels with "The Antonello Family" on them (cause I did a massive Vistaprint order at the time of the Pantaloon Train so I'm stocked on everything else).

Hey buddy I was wondering, do you have a coupon binder or a coupon bag/organizer?
Yeppers, just bought a GlowGirl one a little while ago

What is that one thing that you really, really want, but wont buy for yourself?
Hard to say...I buy pretty much everything I want lol...I'll come back to this.

Would you appreciate something homemade by me like fudge, shortbread or coconut macaroons? In trying to keep with the Christmas theme, this was my homemade idea.
Ummmm.....I like fudge. HATE coconut though to eat (smell is different)...never thought to add this to my dislikes!

Would you like anything from Michaels?
Picture frames...I'm sure there is more but I'll get back to it.

For the homemade gift would you like baking, practical or decorative? And you aren't allowed to say "whatever you decide"
Practical please

No thanks

How are you with things from the bath and body works or body shop??? Bubble bath, shimmer spray, lotions etc??

Bath & Body Works - Wallflower refills (Sweet pea, lime verbena scent, other scents are good too...just not musky or too floral), Lip buffer (they say it's discontinued but a lot of stores still carry it lol), lemon basil or lime verbena hand soaps (the regular antibacterial ones, not the cream ones or foamy ones)
Body Shop - Well stocked thanks!

Would you like any glade products?? Scented oil Candles (the ones that melt in the pretty burners) or plug in's, spray refills etc???

ok I have thought of another thing that I need but will never buy for myself. I need cooling racks for my baking, I only have 2 small ones that I use and I'm constantly running out of room to cool stuff, last night for example I had 60 cookies to cool and 2 cakes and they don't all fit. My husband is always after me to buy more but I just can't seem to make myself spend the money on them..LOL

[Melissa13]

#1. How are you with things from the bath and body works or body shop??? Bubble bath, shimmer spray, lotions etc??
I don't really shop at either. But I could always use another Home Fragrance oil from The Body Shop (I only have mandarin right now). I make my own carpet powder with it. Any fruity scents or vanilla.

#2. Would you like any glade products?? Scented oil Candels ( the ones that melt in the pretty burners ) or plug in's, spray refills etc???

I'm pretty much stocked on candles but there is one specific type im looking for that I put on my wish list. I have no idea where I got it from. It had little wax hearts sprinkled on top and on the bottom it says Star co. candles. Help!!

[juliejolie]

Ok, time for a question for my buddy. Buddy, it's Redemption weekend at SDM, anything that you can use from Shoppers?

Anything off my WL that you can find at Shoppers, would be great! > Eye makeup remover, Revlon black eyeliner pen, pampers sensitive travel wipes, flushable wipes, OPI nail polish (in any shade of pink or red, anything girly!), Cetaphil Restoraderm Moisturizing lotion & the wash, jars of vaseline petroleum jelly, any GC I put on my WL, children's liquid benadryl medicine (allergy), etc....

[cherielake]

Ok, time for a question for my buddy. Buddy, it's Redemption weekend at SDM, anything that you can use from Shoppers?

I can always use more stock pile stuff such as kids toothbrushes/toothpaste (oral B for my 2 year old)
Facial cleaners for my teens (good for black heads) Anything summery - dishes, napkins, ect
Blending brush (make up brush) my dog chewed mine -_-
Make up sponges for foundation
Annabell black eye liner
Covergirl superstay lip colour in wine, or a nude(ish) colour <-LOL

Thats all I can think of right now

Oh I know the feeling! I dont have any and everytime I show I stop to see if they are on sale. I cant justify spending money on them, but really want them at the same time, I may just be a little bit crazy ha

[Melissa13]

Dear buddy, I live close to a British store and several European stores, is there anything you would like from the other side of the pond?

I'll say no since I have no idea what any of those items are that others have listed lol.

Buddy, would you and your family like any clothing? If so, what? And what are your sizes?

I put T-shirts on my wl. Can always use crop yoga type pants (med).

Buddy, are you ok with used books?

Absolutely!! I can't remember the last time I purchased a book for myself at regular retail price.

Buddy, I am an avid reader (after I finish a book, I pick up another one immediately. Keeps me occupied and relaxes me on my way to and from work.)
So... I would love love love any of these books if you need ideas. USED are ok with me! Some I already put on my WL:

- Legend by Marie Lu
- Prodigy by Marie Lu
- The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
- Outpost by Ann Aguirre
- The Infernal Devices Series: Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, Clockwork Princess (3 books)
- And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
- Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
- Look Again by Lisa Scottoline

and my fav tv show just came onto DVD... Fringe: The Final Season (Season 5)
I have all the other seasons, this would complete my set. So sad the show has ended =(

Forgot to add this book to my list: The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. Long wait at the Library for it.

Buddy, I thought of a few more things that I need: waterproof gardening gloves and a nail art pen. I saw this really cute ladybug design in a magazine and really want to do it.

[slambert]

Ok, time for a question for my buddy. Buddy, it's Redemption weekend at SDM, anything that you can use from Shoppers?

Trent is almost out of the Crest for Me toothpaste, could always use some of that, and anything on my list that you can get at shoppers go for it

[Melissa13]

Ok, time for a question for my buddy. Buddy, it's Redemption weekend at SDM, anything that you can use from Shoppers?

Anything off my WL that you can find at Shoppers, would be great!

Ditto. Anything from my wish list that you can find there. I'm short a couple thousand to do a redemption but this is my first year actually trying to accumulate points. I'm working towards being able to redeem near Christmas.

[dlee]

uh oh....I've run into a problem. I've been online shopping for my buddy and picking out stuff for her...

and I've realized that I want everything I'm buying for her too!!!

[cherielake]

OMGosh!! I forgot to add biore strips to my wishlist! This is something I really really really want. You have no idea how much. I use them and so do my kids

[julesie-pie]

Ok, time for a question for my buddy. Buddy, it's Redemption weekend at SDM, anything that you can use from Shoppers?

Anything on my WL!

So I was just doing my banking & hubby has given me a HUGE heart attack! Last months CC (due next week) was massive (but I already knew that) BUT he then decide that it would be good to go on an electronic shopping spree plus I had to pay for the dentist out of pocket so this month doesn't look any better. And its still another 6 weeks before I start bringing in an income again....

[juliejolie]

Ok buddy... I placed a huge order on Amazon for you =) Now off to the stores on the weekend to find everything else on your WL!
