One year I went to the local retail store, ok, who am I kidding...Walmart.. and took pictures of things that I would like to have or just wanted. They all were under $10. I put the pics on the bulletin board at home. The idea was..the kids could come over and take the pic and get that gift and no guessing what mom wanted. I guess I didn't explain carefully enough, because one day all the pics were gone!! When Christmas came around, I got everything I had posted. The DH had taken all of the pics and bought everything. Bless his heart!!! He said he thought it was a "HINT." Yea, he's a keeper!! LOL
