Regards, Kareni OMG, I'm actually sorely tempted to get this as a gift for DS14, whose chore it is to scoop the litter. (He chose to take this job over from me to make money—and I pay goooood money for this one—so don't feel too sorry for him. LOL) He actually gets irritated with himself when he forgets and I remind him. "I don't know why I keep forgetting!"

Just wanted to say that I got this box last year for Christmas and I love it! It's rather soothing, really. I teach middle school and took it into my class (Before Covid) and my students all loved when I used it as a bribe, err, prize for various things. Mine doesn't have the writing on it and it took me a few minutes for figure out the point, but after that it was just so cool. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

easypeasy 1,966 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 This isn't exactly unique, but I thought I'd share anyway... We have lots of ladies on our friends/family list who love nice purses. I usually dismiss this as a gift idea because they're way too pricey at the mall and specialty shops for a Christmas present. But - when you check their online stores, there are TONS of sales, discount codes, etc! So far, I've ordered stuff directly from Vera Bradley, Dooney & Bourke, and COACH at a fraction of the regular price. Many of these were newly released items as well that happened to be on a special sale. I have a special SPAM email account just for those email alerts! So - some people on our gift lists are getting $300, authentic purses straight from the source that I bought under/~ $100. The Vera Bradley stuff especially goes on sale with additional percentages allll the time and we've scooped up some unbelievable buys there for gifts. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
