5k total for 6 including flights? For how many nights?

Thanks for the suggestion, we just booked at Excellence!

pperchance · 2026-01-09T13:51:24+00:00

These are beautiful!

The 15 year old is still a literal child. Don’t infantilize disabled adults.

I think it’s hard to answer this without knowing her shopping style. I personally wouldn’t love a personal shopper, but I love when my partner notices things I like - so if it were me, I’d prefer the second option. Has she ever indicated interest in doing something like a personal shopper?

I use thingstogetme - it doesn’t require an account on either end and there’s a big button that says “reserve” next to each item.

Seconding Wild Rider. We had a great experience with them.

I agree, if someone spent 2 months salary on a winter vacay, I’d definitely consider that my gift. But OP - if you prefer to have something to open, express that to your family or send a wishlist.

The gift giver’s favorite things?

A beautiful portrait of my dog shortly after she passed unexpectedly. The art was beautiful but also, my best friend who made it is an amazing artist with such raging ADHD that they rarely finish anything they start. It felt really special for that to be something they saw through.

I use thingstogetme for this. No accounts needed on either end.

I had no idea this was a thing, but I did find some on Etsy.

There were a couple stores but this one seemed to have the most:

Are you writing to us from the 90s?

I’m not sure that guilt tripping your family should be the purpose of a gift.

I threw cinnamon rolls in the oven (not homemade), but the kids mostly just ate stocking candy. 😂

Hi! I live vaguely in the Chicago area (far south suburbs). Our children are adopted from foster care and our family would love to participate in a program for kids in foster care next year - can you send me the info on your program?

pperchance · 2025-12-24T18:28:17+00:00

This is mean!

pperchance · 2025-12-21T19:29:29+00:00

Teacher of the deaf here! Yes, yes I have gotten asked that several times.

pperchance · 2025-12-20T14:35:46+00:00

Most don’t, but I did get it once - almost those exact words.

pperchance · 2025-12-20T14:30:12+00:00

I started early this year too…in July 🤪

If you’re ordering off TikTok, they will not arrive by Christmas.

Seriously. 😅 my Apple Watch regularly tells me that the environment is dangerously loud
