Sigh - I hear you 100% on registering at IKEA.  I think that is where almost everything in our house has come from.

How exiting!  Lua, are you exchanging your $ before you leave for Jamaica?  I cannot wait to hear how things go at the RIU.

[hutchets]

I went ahead and registered for a few items I want to upgrade since most of my stuff is 20years old and from my first marriage.  I just placed the sites on our website.  I know there are a lot of older family members who prefer to purchase items as gifts rather than give money so we went with it-especially when you have lots of them asking "where are you registered?".  I did register for new place settings though - going with Fiesta Ware this time.

Lua your poems are brilliant! I love them!

 

Can I vent about something? I am getting INCREDIBLY frustrated about the shipping charges for everything... All of the good stuff is in the States and the prices are so much better but either they don't ship up here or they charge more than what the item is worth just to ship it!!!! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

I am struggling to find chapstick ofr the oot bags. I want some with spf and have found some great deals in the states but I can't get it up here!! Anyone with any suggestions??

Have you looked on Etsy, thats where I purchased my chapstick from, if you send them a message with the amount you need usually they will give you a good discounted price.

Thanks Brandy! I would have loved to get them on etsy but I didn't find any that has spf and they all seem quite expensive. I was hoping to spend a buck or less.

I couldn't agree with you more.
We've been looking EVERYWHERE for sumersiable LED turquoise lights. TONS of places in the US have them, but to get them shipped to Canada it's MORE than the cost of the lights.

It's irritating.

I received some of my gifts today!! Im really happy with everything except for the beach bag I got my FSIL, there is no way this thing qualifies as a beach bag, its HUGE, Im talking the size of a suitcase seriously!!! Im hoping they will let me exchange it!

 

Heres the Lounge Cover Towels- the quality of these are great! They are nice thick fluffy towels, I only worry about how much room they will take up in the suitcase! And the embroidering is awesome!

The Bikini bags, I kind of wish I had gotten these embroidered as well, but I didn't want to go too overboard with it, these are really spacious and can fit quite a few bikinis and swimming trunks in them, and they are lined and everything, with a drawstring closure.

Laura-Love the invitation wording and the poem. I am in the same boat as you. I have owned my home for 6years and would really appreciate the cash more than anything as we are saving to get a new bigger house that suits our needs for a family.

Brandy, those towels and bags are awesome. where did you get them and how much if you care to share?
