What do we exchange?

Lets make a suggsted list and then vote on it! *(I'm being very political about the whole ordeal :) 

My suggestions:

1. IF necklaces/ braclettes

2. Socks

3. Charms (can add to any jewelry)

4. Small Stuffies (stuffed animals - not too big. . . hard to hold during an ER :)

What else????

    Hmmm.... *thinking* I was thinking t-shirts, but that might get to expensive and sizing could be an issue.  I still like socks and that sort of thing.  Keeps the budget down.  :)

    What if we did an exchange for our furbabies?  Goodness knows pet toys are uber cheap and for those bumpies that don't have furbabies, we could send stuffed animals of their favorite animal... just a thought.

    I like the necklace/bracelet idea still. Maybe there could be a suggested $$ limit so thing don't get too pricey?

    Does the necklace/bracelet have to be IF related? or can it just be something really pretty or cute?  I am starting to get ideas... :)

    I like the IF jewelry idea. I think if we have a budget it won't get out of hand. That's my vote!

    I like the jewelry idea...necklace/bracelet or something. You can find cute inexpensive stuff at places like Claire's, or Target or someplace like that. Doesn't have to be fancy stuff!

    (I'm partial, since I am just starting to make my own jewelry, and am thinking about doing it as a little hobby/business!)

    I like the necklace/bracelet idea but I don't know anything about IF jewlery. I'm not sure if i'd wear it because not everyone knows of our IF and I wouldn't want to answer any questions. Although i've never even seen it........... going to google it right now :)

    What about Good Luck Keychains. A friend loaned me one that is supposed to help with fertility. They can be pretty like jewelry but are less expensive I am sure and would be easier maybe?

    I like the stuffy idea too!

    Those would be my votes.

    Stuffed Animal or Key Chain (they can be really pretty ones, not just a plastic one with a dumb saying), something with charms/decorate maybe a good luck charm on there?!?!?!  Does that make sense?

    Here is a link to what I am invisioning...

    I love this idea. I've been wanting to buy a bracelet for a while. But I didn't want to buy it for myself or ask DH. I think it would mean more coming from an IF'er from this board and I'd love to buy one for someone else :)
