Thanks, Brenda! I took a peek and it looks like a different set, but I appreciate you letting me know. I guess we should all be on the lookout for those recalls now that we got everything home

Jakesmom- I noticed that they had those on sale at our Target too, but I didn’t see my stacking blocks. The puppets were still there though and those are super cute. Looks like toys are 30% off right now so it would be a great time to stock up for birthdays!!

FYI- Target has the stacking boxes on clearance for about 18.00 right now. if you are lucky enough to find them- they have the collection by the puppets, cooking sets for kids. Jakesmom

It looks like your blocks are different, but just in case:

I thought of this post when I saw the recall…

My sister did a “brag book” of sorts with shutterfly this year and it turned out so cute!

If you have an extra large gift bag hanging around, it will just hold the 45 piece set of cardboard blocks.

This is where we store Chico’s.

I bought freshly ground coffee in sample sizes from a local charter school. Together with oranges, pears, and apples (from a music dept. fundraiser!), I created gift baskets. It was inexpensive, delicious, and benefited two schools in the process.

Oh, those are great gift ideas. I am going to have to check out that book when I finally accomplish that resolution.

I have never seen those aromatherapy diffusers, but I am going to have to look for next year!! Thanks for the gift ideas!

Two of my favorite gifts were
1)Bend The Rules Sewing book by Amy Karol You gotta get a copy when you learn to sew this year.
2) A Shark steam cleaner. I love that it uses only water to clean. No chemicals! yay!

My mom loved the “brag book” I made her. I used a chipboard book and scrapped the pages. I also gave a couple people aromatherapy car essential oil diffusers by Earth Solutions (if you can find a coop they are only a few bucks). Those were a big hit.
