Okay, now I'm getting a little more background. Her photographer thinks she should scrap the site and redesign more like this (the photographer's own site) [link] . Thoughts?

(Hey, it's Sunday night, y'all don't have anything better to do, right?)

I just copied off bon bon, Cindy.

No, you and bon bon were correct, and I knew it, once I saw it in your posts. I'm angry at dictionary.com for having an entry for what appears to be a misspelling. They also have regular entries for the correct spelling: ocular.

My SIL is really busy, so I offered to help her shop for stocking stuffers - her kids are 7 and 4. She suggested a stapler and a tape dispenser for her son, and a pencil cup to match her office depot trash can for her daughter.

Even mr. flea (whose sister this is) thinks she is clearly a huge dork. I mean, Santa brings a stapler??? I can ignore these suggestions, right? I was thinking, like, silly string and stuff.

I'd include the items she mentioned, otherwise you're in danger of starting off a big round of, "Why'd you ask?" Kids like office/school supplies.

Cindy, I'm afraid mr. flea now thinks you are a huge dork, too. The again, he says he was traumatized by always receiving socks and underwear in his stocking as a child.

I guess I could look for a REALLY COOL stapler.

If it is a shiney stapler, I'd want one. Actually, I saw a really cool alligator/monster stapler in store....somewhere. You can get me the kids that.

Ooh, that does sound cool.

I have email from Amazon telling me that POTC2 is on it's way.

My sister and I were kind of bummed when we got (respectively) binder clips and colored paperclips in our stockings.

Until we traded, and then we were all, score!

Okay, it's not the iPods of the Magi, but still. True story. And, um, not very long ago.

I think you're misunderestimating the appeal of arts & crafts!
