Kareni Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 A friend of my daughter's is traveling to South Korea in December and offered to carry packages to her on our behalf. (What a nice person!) I ordered a gift for my daughter on the 19th, and it was delivered to the friend's home yesterday, the 24th. Can you say quick?!

There are several different themes, including a Christmas theme, and some can include up to 3 children in the same book. They're listed as ages 4-10, but there's also a version that's up to adults. Regularly $40, currently on sale for $30 with BlackFriday code for 25% off. Wonderbly books Thank you, thank you!!! DD is 15 and still loves these kind of books. I see they have an adult edition, too. Perfect! 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vendor has some wonderful fabric choices. Regards, Kareni I bought one of these from a craft fair at a mall when I was in college. We have all used it regularly for almost 30 years. I've been using it this week because I pulled my back cleaning up the leaves. This week I'm taking it to work. Dd used it for cramps all through adolescence. Dh uses it for various injuries. It's a wonderful thing. The lady who sewed ours did a great job. Some are filled with rice, but I'm pretty sure based on smell that ours is stuffed with feed corn. When dd moved out I bought her one that is filled with cherry pits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 I hadn't heard of cherry pit filled bags, @KungFuPanda; that does sound intriguing! We have a couple of feed corn filled bags that a friend made for us ages ago; like yours, ours are still growing strong years later. Ours are simply long tubes, so I'll be very interested to hear our daughter's take on this very shaped version. I also have no first hand knowledge of flaxseed filling but have heard hopeful things.

Stacia Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 This is not a weird gift, but has anyone gotten a flower delivery subscription for someone? If so, did the recipient like it & who did you use? (I'm seeing mixed reviews online.) Thanks. And for an unusual item, how about these movie barcode prints? I think they look pretty fun for the movie lover in your life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) On 11/5/2023 at 5:26 PM, Corraleno said: Bonne Maman does advent calendars that include 1 oz jars of unusual jams and jellies. The tiny jars are so stinking cute, they look exactly like the full size jars, just 1/8th the size, and the flavors are really unusual, like grapefruit & dragonfruit, strawberry & guava, peach & jasmine flower, fig & cardamom, etc. The main one has 24 jars and is available on Amazon ($45), and Costco sells a smaller version (12 jars) called 12 Days of Christmas, which I think was around $20 (I bought it a couple of weeks ago). You can also buy a 2-pack of the smaller version on Costco's website for $45, but unless you wanted to give one as a gift, for the same price I'd just order the big one since you'd get 24 different flavors instead of duplicates of 12. Either set would be great for a gift basket, maybe with an assortment of nice teas and some homemade scones. I'm considering grabbing a 2nd one from Costco to make pastries or thumbprint cookies with all the different flavors. Huge hit with recipient! Thanks @Corraleno!

We called a florist near the recipient (MIL, who lives in a different state) and did it directly with them. We were somewhat familiar with the florist, as was MIL - it's who we would use for special occasion flowers. She really enjoyed getting the flowers. We did about 4 months worth, to get through winter into spring. After that we sent something else for Mother's Day and then her birthday in June. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More because I can select that it's already in the country (in Australia) as otherwise it could be shipped from who knows where and take months.
