hey guys,
just wanted to know if anyone knew where to get a Timon talking plush in a hula dress that says that "what do you want me to do?, dress in drag and do the hula?" or that sings any part of the song, or anything from that clip. Doesnt really matter if its a pulshie or not, anything would be good, just some type of collectable. thanks guys. Link would be helpful as well.

You might find it on ebay or at a flea market.

Has anyone heard of the "Webkins"?

It is a new stuffed animal that you can play interactive online. I have an 11 year old that loves them. I have found it to be very interesting. We bought ours at "Hallmark".. they are not very expensive and is a lot of fun for pre-teens…
Give me your imput on them if you have some or have seen them.. ???

It’s fun! There are 3 stores where I live that sell webkinz. 2 probably has most of them in stock but one is a popular toy shop and has them for pick up. It is called Just ducky. the other 2 stores are Carlton cards, which has polar bears, white terriers, alley cats and sometimes frogs.
I only have one for now that my mom bought on ebay. It is a cow named Moxie. tell your child to add me! I’m Camille96

I have a problem. I recently purchased a webkinz baby penguin plush. When I signed her in I went home and discovered I had received two virtual baby penguins! They have the same name and the same gender! The only difference is their profiles. I received two pet specific gifts and double the kinzcash was awarded, it was like I had adopted two of the same pets with one code! Someone help! D:

I think you need two codes. One code for each pet.

she always plays with her stuffed animals with her friends. They don’t play a lot anymore because they have nothing to do. Please help me. And her of course! only nice answers please!

My girls had books propped up like tents the other day. All the beanie babies were camping out.
Also sometimes they do school. The beanies get books, paper and pencils.
Their beanies are well loved.

When receiving Christmas gifts from other local businesses, what is the correct way to thank them?

December 19, 2009 - 11:15 am 4 Comments

I am a receptionist at a local newspaper, and for the past couple of weeks people from businesses and universities have been bringing in Christmas gifts for our office, (a box of oranges, a plate of holiday cookies, etc.) and I was just wondering what we could do to thank them for such a kind gesture. In some cases, the universities are 20 miles (or more) away and I personally feel like it is such a kind thought to bring gifts and treats to us. What can I do to show them that we are truly appreciative?

fruit cake =) lol jk….and yes a card is a good way to start…also maybe a small basket full of small treats…maybe you can bake something for them also or get a box of holiday chocolate…those cans of popcorn with the holiday graphics on it are nice…just something as simple as the gift they gave to your business…..or a simple card with a thank you always does the trick, those were just maybe ideas to get you thinking a bit…its only once a year you can get away with sending someone a box of oranges =) lol since your a local newspaper…maybe when/if you decide to give them a gift in return or card….send them a copy of today’s paper (same date you give them a card/gift) from your company lol hey i wouldnt mind the paper for free…save me a quarter =)

What are appropriate gifts for nursing home staff?

December 16, 2009 - 10:53 pm 3 Comments

There are about 4 staff workers in each unit - an RN and several aides. The Nursing Home sent a note saying that cash gifts aren’t permitted, but cookies or fruit are ok. The aides rolled their eyes at that. I got the impression that gift cards might be ok, but don’t know how much to purchase. One aide in particular has spent a lot of time with our family member and with us.

Family member was recently admitted to a unit with 16 patients.

I’ve worked in either nursing homes or assisted living facilities for 20 years, and it’s never been okay for staff to accept gifts from a resident or their family. I’d strongly suggest NOT giving a gift card — while the staff might take it gratefully (times are tough right now and you can hardly blame them), they are risking their job to do so. Accepting a gift that is intended for them only — cash, gift card, perfume, etc — is grounds for dismissal in EVERY place I’ve worked and every healthcare facility I’ve heard of. Fruit baskets, cookie trays, etc are often given, but I know one of the best "spreads" we got was from a family who brought in a bunch of really nice deli sandwich trays — enough for each shift to be able to enjoy.

Does anyone have any really good crafts for the Webkinz plush?

December 14, 2009 - 1:42 pm 2 Comments

I am looking for plush crafts, especially food and furniture. NO CRAFTY CRITTERS, please!

Do you mean like homemade things you can make with them? My little sister (who’s 10) and some of the daycare children I watch make all kinds of furniture and things for them with household items. Those pink plastic bracelets can be put around the Webkinz necks like a collar. A shoe box can have scraps of fabric or washcloths folded up to make a bed. Empty margarine or butter tubs can be decorated with markers or glued on things to make little seats or stools. Bottle caps from things like a nestea bottle can work as plates. Hope this helps!

How many gifts should we have on our registry?

December 14, 2009 - 1:42 pm 2 Comments

Our current guest list is for 170 guests. We only have 100 gifts on our list. Is that enough? How many gifts should we put on our registry? We want everyone to have a good, affordable selection, but we don’t want to seem greedy, either. What is the proper etiquette for this? Thanks!

With 170 guests I’d be adding more to the registry. You arent going to be getting everything, and some (probably many), will be giving gifts as a couple instead of individual, but I’d still add more.

People will be using the registry for the shower (if they know of it), as well as for the wedding gifts. Or you can wait till after the shower to add more. It is frustrating as a guest to go to a registry and see that most things are already taken, (In that case they will be giving you things that you dont want/ need). make sure you put on it a big array of price ranges to suit everyone’s needs.
