Caroline Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 https://www.carryacountry.com/collections/all I love these backpacks. All my kids have them. All my nieces and nephews have them. I got them for my sisters and sisters-in-law for Christmas this year. (I might be their biggest customer. I think I’ve bought 20 different backpacks!) They are sturdy and pretty unique. I saw them on Shark Tank a few years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVED bubble wrap as a child (ahem, I might still have a certain fondness for the stuff) and such a calendar would have been gone in half an hour had I got my hot little hands on it. 2 hours ago, Attolia said: "there goes my year" They do say 'time flies'!

alisoncooks Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 We are still loving our HP Advent Calendar, and I saw that Barnes & Noble's website has them 50% off (for $19.99). Amazon is still pricing them at $60+! Pick up only, best I can tell, so maybe someone who wanted this will have a location nearby with them in stock. (I found one in stock near us and went ahead and bought one for the girls to play with. The first one is mine!) Here we are, 13 days in (today was Dumbledore!): 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
