Box Love Gathering


This is what I have so far for my exchange person...

Fun Years Pirate Cove Playset
Fun Years Pirate Pals Figures


These are the items that my hubby picked out.










Other items already purchased:
This is my travel/diaper bag craft kit:  

2 boxes of 24 count crayola crayons
Sesame Street coloring book
2 Activity books (tracing paper, construction paper and something else)
2 paint with water packets
Elmo paperback book with read along CD
Ipad case from the dollar store :black  Used to put activity pages, etc from above into...
 ~ Writing S's name in fabric paint on this.





Buying From Ikea: 

20 piece basic train set
extra trains
10 pack rails


















  







I may not get the extra rails because I'm not sure if they'll fit in the box... I might just stick with the main set and extra trains...

So because I'm from two states depending on the time of year I went with NJ because my match lives in NY like me too....
I also wanted to include a mommy gift but was worried about everything fitting because I'm already running out of room... so I hit the jack pot searching for my mommy gift that it covered both!

I hope my match doesn't already have the book as it's pretty popular but I've personally never read it.



Not only is the book about a girl from Jersey, the author is a NJ native!
Yay for covering two topics in one!! 

The USA version of Kinder Eggs:  Thanks Shanna P for the idea.  These currently are imported by only ONE company in the USA and they are based in NJ, also they can only be purchased at ONE grocery store chain in NJ too!  I know the "toy" is a little old for S but I figure his daddy and him can share it.  So it's a daddy and son present.  ~Or a Mommy and son present if mommy likes Spider Man. 

Now all I have to do it get everything in one state, pack my box and ship it!  I'm not planning to ship until the 9th due to the chocolate and I left the crayons in NY on accident.  Oh well ;-)


Matches Info:  

Interest Details: I have one son who is almost 21 months old. His name is S. He is just starting to get into 
24 month sized clothes. He still fits into a lot of his 12 month sized shorts. He has a big head (I just bought him a 
4T/5T hat at Old Navy and it is only a little big on him...he is too big for the 2T/3T hat).

Likes: S loves all things with wheels, all balls, Curious George, Elmo and Thomas the Tank Engine. He 
wears a lot of t shirts, and his parents are big sci-fi nerds.

I personally like blues and greens, sci fi, good books (mysteries, humor, historical, fantasy...nothing where 
people suddenly die of cancer at the end). We watch sit coms and sci fi shows on TV: Community, Big Bang,
Doctor Who, etc. We are big Target shoppers, and we don't really get into any fancy brands.

Dislikes: Seaweed, lol! S is afraid of Oscar the Grouch and loud noises.

Allergies/Sensitivities: We are all allergic to cats and dogs, but that probably is not a concern for this 
exchange :-p No food allergies. S and I have sensitive skin, so I shy away from trying new lotions and soaps.

Boxes Subscribed to: We have been receiving Citrus Lane for six months.

We have been receiving Goodies Co for about four months.

We have been receiving Love With Food for three months.

I have been receiving Hammock Pack for three months.
