In the "Where is Gillian?" thread, the topic of an online baby shower came up. Mailing gifts to Alaska can cost as much as the gift so I threw out the idea of sending her gift cards. The idea was a hit so I've done a little research.
While I believe that, overall, a gift card baby shower for Gillian will be well received I also know that this idea might strike a nerve with some cheffers. I do not want to stir the pot or "open a can of worms" as mentioned in the other thread. I will lock this thread after I submit this. Whether you choose to participate or not is completely up to you and a private matter.
I have emailed Gillian for permission to do this and she is overwhelmed by the offer. She said she read the other thread and bawled! (She blamed her hormones!) She said she would like to have the baby this weekend but thinks it might be another week!
If you would like to participate, here are the details. I've googled her town and here are some nationwide stores that sell gift cards.
Target, Sears, WalMart, Burger King, Arby's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Wendy's, and McDonald's. I've listed a variety so you can pick something that fits your budget.
I wasn't going to list her address here but she said it's a box and it is listed on her website and business cards. She was comfortable with having me post it. Even if you don't want to send a gift card or it just isn't in the budget for you right now, feel free to just send a card or note. I'm sure she would appreciate the thought.
If you have any questions that I didn't cover, please PM me. If you have any complaints, please don't PM me.
As a funny side note....there is a department store in Wasilla called Gottschalks, I wonder if Marla owns it? Also, there is a restaurant named Nobody's Inn. I tried to call them to see if they sell gift cards but "nobody was in". Sorry...couldn't resist!
