I got the wish list!

[crazytalk]

sushi - I just PM'd you for your address. Pretty please. I promise not to fly to Hawaii and squat in your garage. Tough it is 26 degrees here this morning ...

[downtoearth]

sushi - I sent you a donation to buy some of the gifts or gift cards locally. 

Aloha and  Mele Kalikimaka!

With the iPad thing would it be horrible if I got the galaxy tab? It's on special at Costco here. I don't want to go rose art crayon on anyone. I do actually think the galaxy is as good a product if not better but it's also half the price

I feel like this is the roseart crayon of the tablet world. I'd think a Galaxy would be good.

I was actually thinking maybe a kindle fire .... so, great minds, and all that. I think a galaxy tab is a great choice.

[secretlyevil]

sushi - galaxy sounds awesome!

[sushi]

I have around $200 and change from paypal. I think a galaxy plus filling in the gaps is what that will go toward.

I got the ipad. I'm a regular, just didn't want to publicize who. I had some extra in the giving category this year.

Sushi can you pm me your paypal? I can add $50 to that.

edit-  just realized it's like 5 am in Hawaii. If someone else can pm me her paypal info that would work too.

[secretlyevil]

my grinchy grinch heart is growing because of you all.

sushi, I've probably said this once or twice already but thank you so much for being boots on the ground for this crazy mad experiment.

I hope we keep doing this.

Ok, one thing was delivered on Friday and the other is arriving Monday. So much for the 23rd-24th!

[secretlyevil]

Take pictures!

[sushi]

I will take pictures and do a grand tallying at the end.

[josieposy]

I sent my donation over a little bit ago to paypal. Use it for whatever.

I might be able to help a little more, but this is a cop-out for a Barbie house, right?

ETA sushi, is KMart nearby if I shipped to the store for local pick-up so it's there earlier?  I might be able to do that.  I don't usually shop there, but it looks like it has several of the toys for cheaper than Amazon and they might be in stock near you.

[sushi]

Yes I can do pick up at Kmart. I'm so not an authority on this. I thought any barbie house would work. I'm probably wrong.

Be careful about in store pick-up--they may require ID.

G has that and likes it. she's played with it for a couple of years. i say go for it.

What's the status on this? How are we doing at getting through the list?

[downtoearth]

ETA: I took the items off - marked them as purchased and it worked.  sushi, you will get an e-mail with the items to pick-up.  Thanks so much for coordinating.

Here's what I understand is left to buy by CEP from the wish-list:



Also to avoid the shipping to HI issue and arriving on time, I just had some items ready at KMart about 20-min from sushi so she could pick-up.  They still have some of these items in stock there if someone else wants to do that.

DTE - I'm confused so can you clarify - is that what's left to buy or that's what you bought?

According to the Amazon list about an hour ago...that is what we still need to buy.

Ok, that's what I thought. I was just confused.

At last check-in, we had a little over $200 in cash contributions. We need sushi to verify. I *think* at least one wish is currently filled for each of the kids. I"m thinking that several have more than one wish fulfilled. 

[sushi]

It's a good thing I have an empty room in my house because it's filling fast. You guys are seriously amazing.

So far we have 355 cash. Every child has received something. 12 items left on amazon.

I'm a little confused about one gift. There's a doll that says wants 1 has 2. Is that a glitch? I think I only requested one, and so far I've received one.

ETA Holy shit. I just totaled the value of gifts already purchased. It comes to $1680. Plus the cash. That's really awe-inspiring. So much good in the world!
