I ship amazon.ca as opposed to .com …. that makes a big difference!

Random –

You don’t like them? Really? I think they’re adorable… or thought they were – now I’m seeing toilet seat covers and I ordered them…

Now I know who I’ll send them to. : )

First, it is entirely important that you know I adore you.

And I’m positive that if I looked at Etsy long enough, perhaps I would find something that would look good on my cell phone.

But I have to say…that my first thought when I saw those tins was that someone forgot to cut holes in those decorative, square toilet seat covers.

Last, I’d like to second PTLaw-Mom’s love of Amazon Prime.

Adoringly,

-R.

Oh god. I know – I am so over the mall. The only thing I don’t like to do online is shop for clothes for me because I generally need to try stuff on. And then returns are a hassle.

If anyone here is into non-toxic, fair trade toys, I came across these additional resources:

(This last one is actually a company started by a Mom in Boulder, CO)

KitKat – SCARY.

Wyliekat lives in Canada, could be the poor shipping experiences. Anyone else out of the US had that problem with Amazon?

Lisa D – I SO want one of those too… I like the butterfly purse. Wow, thanks for sharing.

PT – awesome tip about Amazon Prime.

I’m also super surprised Dawn and LTP – that you’re scared your kids will get snatched, really? Thought never really dawns on me. More scared of purse thieves and the like. Sucks we have to feel scared in our own malls, you know?

I also hate shopping at the mall and after two recent stories of women being assalted at our local mall… even moreso! http://www.wdbj7.com/Global/story.asp?S=9459918&nav=menu368_2

I usually do most of the kids “stuff” in October just to spread it out but I still have to do a few more items and I am tempted to just get “American Express” gift cards for my brother and sister…

I’ve done roughly half of my shopping online, and loved the convenience of it. However, I’m now at the stage of the game where anything I want shipped is likely not to make it until after Xmas.

Just as an FYI – amazon does not impress me. Shipping charges are monstrous, and the wait times can be ridiculous.
