It's really nice to have something to give when you forget or when you are short of money, which for me is pretty much ALL THE TIME.Shaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364055849106684154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-1150328847249730692006-06-14T17:47:00.000-06:002006-06-14T17:47:00.000-06:00Great idea!

Just a suggestion - I think it's a great idea up until the age where the child starts to figure out that you gave them something from a gift box. I remember getting gifts from people when I was 9 or 10 and I could tell it was the type of thing they had in their gift drawer. :) I think all gifts should be received with great thankfulness to the giver, but I do plan on trying to make the gifts we give (pre-bought or not) special so the the recipient doesn't think we don't care enough to go out and buy a gift especially for them. Thanks for reminding me of this great idea!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506810697268113777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-1150321247689641712006-06-14T15:40:00.000-06:002006-06-14T15:40:00.000-06:00EXCELLENT!!

Drag it and make it a smaller size. The first time I used that banner it made my template go crazy, too. Just resize it in the compose mode. Hope that helps. email me if you still can't do it justinandjennifer(at)gmail(dot)com.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173872365261806154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-1150308476142170852006-06-14T12:07:00.000-06:002006-06-14T12:07:00.000-06:00GREAT idea!

Could do the same thing for Christmas gifts...I suppose...but then I'd have to remember where I hid them months later!
