And following up with that idea with the gift cards, stick them inside the IOU/why I love my dad booklet! I'm getting really excited now. And the same thing can be done for my mom. Their birthdays are two weeks apart.
Thanks for this!

LL was right on the money today!!!!

I went to the dollar store and found a ton of cool stuff!!!

I got my parents both a nice looking set of journals where I'll write IOU's and "what I love about Mom/Dad" I got them both equally heartfelt birthday cards, and I found my dad a lot of car wash stuff including three sets of microfiber towels, three Shamwow type of towels, and car fresheners. I found a TON of stuff and I could have gone even crazier with what I found!!!! And it cost about $16!

Thank you LL for your wonderful suggestion!

And the other day I went to the video store and the lady was nice enough to give me an extra $5 on a video I turned in plus $1 for another video I turned in---the perks of living in a small town is you get to know people and she knows how often I come in--sometimes twice a week! So she did a nice thing for me, and in turn I bought $16 worth of goodies--four movies and an Elvis CD. Three movies are for Mom and Dad, the fourth is the original IT which long story short for weeks I came in, asking myself whether I have that movie, going home to check, then intending to go buy the movie only to forget it if I have it.

I am beyond excited for my presents. They're gonna hear the whole story about teaming up with my online friends with all your wonderful ideas...I really hope they like it!!!
Thanks for this!

All the presents are wrapped and no more presents needed...I had sooooooo much fun doing this!

Now all that's left to do it work on the IOUs
Thanks for this!
