I dole them out a little at a time to my 3 but I also still buy for them (I can't help myself!) so they have way more than they need. That was my main reason for not signing up. I just already have too much stuff! Some of the great gifts I got in the past are in constant use -- Ben's bow box & leash hanger, a couple of primo toys like the monkey that makes monkey sounds, (Ben thinks that is his buddy) and my return address labels!! I loved the super thoughtful framed Bible verse that reminded me of my late husband too. So don't want anyone to think I have not appreciated our gifts. I think it is just that I got 2-3 VERY GENEROUS secret buddies in a row and I may not run out of stuff for another year!
I am going to think on it but if I don't sign up, it won't be from lack of interest -- it is only because of lack of space and non-lack of doggy stuff! Y'all are so great! |
I store some things for the future and for when I am going on vacation (I always have my petsitters give toys in the middle of the week so the babies have a burst of excitement). I usually find that with my three who play with toys all the time we need to pitch some and replace. So GEs always come in handy. Barney can destroy his latex toys in a couple of minutes, but he loves them so much that I just keep buying them
I like to do the GE because it is fun for us to make a box for our buddy and we always find that the boxes we receive are so thoughtful.
