Christmas Layette Swap discussion

[Theara]

What does everyone think? My brain wasn’t working this time. I had so much going on but had fun. I’m so indecisive though!

[cajuncuties]

And I think that on the questionnaire we could ask if Christmas, or Winter theme is preferred.

There was a budget of 35 to 45

Outfit and a few accessories

All of these are great ideas. Clothing options could include anything worn(sleeper, dress, romper, pant set, crochet outfit, etc.). I think keeping within the price range is important. Winter themes: Christmas, other holiday celebrations during the next couple of months, winter animals, penguins, snowflakes, etc. Should be easy to please everyone with all the choices.

Do we want to stick with the same price range or keep it simpler since this is the time of year that everyone is overwhelmined with buying gifts anyway?

[cajuncuties]

Hmmmmm……something to think about. Hard to build a good layette if the budget is too low, though. Need to make it worth spending the shipping costs, too.

[Granna]

So is this just clothes and accessories? And we say what size kit we need for ? It sounds fun but iamnot sure how it works

[AnnieSokay]

I think we should keep it the same, some of us have little children to buy gifts for. Winter/Christmas Theme. Maybe a little more detailed questions such as What size or what baby is it for. If you would accept Vintage or gently used items or Walmart, etc…

[Theara]

Good idea and it was hard to keep within the budget. I wanted seasonal clothing and good deals. It had to be cute and affordable.

[Theara]

This is the hardest part of the year for me. I have to buy presents, birthdays, school clothes and stuff for myself if I can afford it. I think this is a good idea.

In Puerto Rico there is practically no winter, so buying locally would be a bit difficult but I could buy online I’m interested

[AnnieSokay]

@Iselis I think if you bought things locally no one would mind. That would be so awesome!

[ashleyfox98]

I hope the price range isn’t lowered. Remember, it’s retail price, there is absolutely nothing wrong with bargain hunting.

[Katinafleming]

So…$35-50 retail? An outfit and several accessories of your choice?

Questionnaire about the same as last time but adding a question about which winter holidays you celebrate?

[AnnieSokay]

Sounds good!

I am the bargain queen lol. I like to check for deals and see what I can get that my person also would like but isnt too expensive. My kids would say that’s cheap!! Can we add a small gift @Katinafleming?

[Kimmiee]

Is this where we share what we got

[Katinafleming]

Share on this thread please. Can’t wait to see.

Christmas box deliveries.

Let’s post here when we get our boxes. That way we can look through without all the congestion of the old post. After discussing with another forum member, we decided not to post tracking numbers publicly. There’s too much risk. Scammers can intercept and have the packages sent elsewhere. We aren’t allowing grinches to take our Christmas. Message me your tracking number and I’ll message it to the receiver. Then post a pic of your goodies here, tagging the person who sent it.
