Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

[julesie-pie]

I have an idea for a Wow gift, but it would definitely work better/be more useful towards the beginning of the month, which would then really make the 25th gift seem anti climatic.

Would you be ok with this if you were my buddy?

yes

no earlier than the 9th please


nope
pfhht I am needing a plumber also

lol not as nervous as the ppl who haven't posted ! any news on couponsrule ?....that makes me nervous !

Okay I am counting something again
Prize is a $5 gift card ........what am I counting.....????

NO poptarts please!

No to a passport (hubby and ds1 have theirs)

I have pierced ears...In fact I have 10 holes in my ears, but I don't currently wear any earrings. I haven't been able to find any I don't react badly to. I blame my kids. Before I had ds1, I could wear anything in my ears, but after they would hurt and get massivily infected. boo, I miss earrings.

I usually only use elastics and bobby pin for my hair.

So.... To those with little buddies. What did you do when there is more then 1 child? Did you alternate gifts? Give2 gifts each day? looking for ideas

That is a great question! I would think that it would seem kind of unfair to younger children to give one child a gift one day and not the other. I was thinking of having at least 25 gifts, but not having 25 days to open. Have some days with one package for them to open together (eg arts & crafts supplies), and other days with a gift for each individual to open. Maybe 13 days of Christmas, but spread out? (On the weekends and then everyday once holidays begin? I'm thinking: 1st, 2nd, 7th, 8th, 9th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th ) as there would likely be gifts that would be best to open at the beginning of the month...
Also, would you give say a box of Crayons as a gift for one day, or put together an arts & crafts package with a bunch of different things in it and bundle a few days into one?
I would be very interested to hear other people's thoughts on this, as I want to do what I can, but do not want to violate any train rules...

[Jody22002]

Yes to pop tarts, earrings, hair accessories, and the passport.

[MeShell]

Hmm...I wanted to say "Santa emoticons" but if it's not an emoticon....then hmmm not sure, will have to think of something else...

No to pop tarts.
I have a passport.
I don't wear earrings.
I only wear hair ties/elastics in my hair

[MeShell]

Ooops forgot a question. I don't care what order or when I get a WOW gift, even if it's not on Christmas Day. Every day will be fun with this, so doesn't matter to me what I get each day!

This totally doesn't apply to me because I don't have a little buddy, but I think that what you have in mind is fair...not sure about how it works with train rules though. It's not fair to expect 2 trains worth of gifts (50 = 2 kids x 25 days) for one person. If I had 2 kids and wanted them to each get 25 gifts, I'd sign the up separately and do 2 trains for other kids to reciprocate. I don't think the idea of this is to bankrupt anyone just to have a happy exchange!

You could also just make sure that each of the 2 kids have the same # of gifts each and number them so comparable gifts on consecutive days and label them "day 3 - DS" "day 4 - dd" etc and then the parent can decide when to dole them out (whether it be both in day 3 or on the different days etc).

I have an idea for a Wow gift, but it would definitely work better/be more useful towards the beginning of the month, which would then really make the 25th gift seem anti climatic.

Would you be ok with this if you were my buddy?

I would prefer to get the gift I could use when I could actually use it instead of getting something great and then having to store it until next year!

buddy question : do you or your child eat pop tarts ?

We all like them; as a matter of fact, when I find them on sale, I stash them away or the kids will eat them all before I get one!

buddy..if i missed these answers PLEASE forgive me..

Passport - Currently in the process of applying for one
Earrings - Yes, but very simple ones
Hair - Not sure if I mentioned it on my WL, but would LOVE the Goodie Ouchless Hair elastics; They are the only accessories I wear, although Emma will wear anything girly!

[slambert]

Buddy you don't have to stress about any part of my package, I will be thrilled with every little thing you put in the box and whatever order you put it in. There is not one thing you could add or do that would disappoint me so please don't add any stress to your holiday season on my account Same goes for my son, he is so excited at the thought of getting mail I don't think there is anything that could possibly disappoint him.

[MrsSunshine]
