Do you have family that lives in another town or maybe another state? If so, Sam’s Club has the perfect solution to gift giving from a distance. With the new Dear Santa Wishlist feature of the Holidays Made Simple website, your kids can browse gifts and add their favorite toys and games to a virtual wishlist.
You can browse through hundreds of gift ideas in the Gifts Galore shopping section, all arranged by price and recipient. Every time you see this little Santa icon, you just click it to add that product to your list.

Once you’ve added all of your favorites, just view your wishlist to send a personalized “Dear Santa” email to your distant friends and family members.

Minutes later an email will arrive in their inbox with your personalized message along with the links to the products you and your child selected.
We sat down with our 8 year old son today to pick out a few gift items he wanted to share with his grandparents that he doesn’t get to see very often. It was an easy way for him to pick and share some of his most wanted items on his Christmas list. We gave grandma a call this afternoon to make sure the email arrived and she absolutely loved it.

Ironically the gift that showed up the most was luggage. I recently purchased a really nice set of luggage but for some reason it just doesn’t suit my needs. I travel a bit for work as well as pleasure and I just don’t seem to have the right size to accommodate my travel needs. What I have is either way to large or to small. I passed this info along to my daughter and my Mom in hopes they take the hint.
I loved the 3 pedestal candleholders. http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=442905&pCatg=14622
I didn’t try out the email yet. planning on doing it this evening with my 7 year old niece. She needs to send her Christmas list to my aunt. This should make it easy.
Thanks for the chance

Funny thing. I saw on an infomercial last nite about that Balance Board with I think Jenny McCarthy, can’t member the promoter and I wanted it. Then I go to this and I see WHAT I WANT! Wii Bundle w/ Wii Fit Plus and Balance Board… that is what I want. Oh my, and it’s cheaper than what I looked online for earlier. I am so going to get it.. but that is on MY wish list (now anyways)
Sooo.. I tweeted about this, and when I try to get the status it says, Twitter is over capacity, lol. I am @cmason0708. I will continue to try and get it.
Thanks.
