day one
I don't know why but I thought starting off with gifts to soldiers in Iraq would be nice! I searched a bit online and found a website called www.anysoldier.com. On this website you can read countless posts of what different groups need/want. I found a group of woman in Iraq, in the Army that wanted girlie things like hair products, lotions, and loofahs etc. Oh and the best..they wanted nail polish and other things to do manis and pedis (gotta love women who shoot guns and still want to look gorgeous)! I ran through the house and surprisingly found two entire bags of brand new girlie things that I have never used! Strange how on day one of gift giving I am going to make some amazing women happy while de-cluttering my house!!!

It was really nice of you to think of your sick co-worker, and to remember how you felt in the same situation. Have fun at the hockey game!
