Amazing Give Away Opportunity Just Ahead...
Hello stress. My name is Lysa. And apparently I am clueless.
It all started when I headed to my favorite, swanky, get a really nice gift for my kid’s teachers this year, store. Otherwise known as the dollar rack at Target.
Oh, yes ma’am. There is some mighty fine merchandise to be found there. And, I love when cute things only cost $1.
Now, just so you don’t think I’m a total cheapskate, I arranged all my treasures in lime green pales and tucked two Chick-fil-A gift cards in each. (Hello free to me.)
So, I collected all this cute stuff and started filling up the pales. I just needed one more red item. It needed to be small. It needed to be in the food category. It needed to be in the $1 category.
Back to the Target Dollar rack I headed. And what to my wondering eyes should appear? But little red packages of coffee that smelled so dear.
Perfect.
Or so I thought.
When Art got home and I proudly shared my little lime green pales with the Southern Comfort Coffee inside, he looked at me funny.
He titled his head. And he informed me that the coffee brand label “Southern Comfort” was not a cute off brand name of coffee. This company apparently makes spirits of sorts that do not fall in the holy category.
Have mercy.
Dear Teachers- please be informed that the coffee included in your gift may look a little suspicious.
It does not contain alcohol. Nor do I condone adding said alcohol to your morning coffee as suggested on the package instructions.
Although this gift may clearly give you the impression that is exactly what I did before heading off to the dollar rack at Target to purchase this gift, I did not.
The end.
Evidence:
Just in case your teacher gifts have been a little stressful for you as well, I have just the solution!
Julie Ray from a delightful company called "Thirty-One Gifts" has generously offered to give one lucky winner a $75 gift certificate to spend on your choice to lovely products from their new catalog.
Go here and click on "View Our Catalog" at the top of the page and then click on "View Catalog" in the black box on the right hand side of the screen.
Find something you'd buy with this certificate, come back to share your treasure with us in the comments below, and cross your fingers- toes- and whatever else.
Just stay away from little red packages of coffee from the $1 rack at Target---K?
I'll announce the winner on Thursday along with the winner of the $20 Starbucks card from the survey give away.
Merry Christmas y'all!

Just read on Renee's blog you guys are flying to Houston today. You've got to eat at Pappasitos. Beef fajitas with pineapple butter sauce. If not this trip then in January. Oh I can't wait for GNO!
I'm not entering this giveaway. My socks were blessed off by winning your books. I want someone elses socks to be blessed off with this giveaway.
Paula G. <><
Good Morning Lysa! I remember well, the days of the THOUSANDS of teachers to bless. I think that your little buckets are great and will be greatly appreciated! Everyone could use a little "Southern Comfort" now and then!! Especially the sweet friend kind!
Have fun in Texas!!
Blessings,
Pat
Ummm, I love love love Thirty One stuff!!!! I would totally love one of those woven purses with my initials on it and a wallet to match or I would like a full size apron with my initials on it......actually, there is nothing in their catalog I would not love to have. Not that I'm greedy or anything.....
Oh how I would love the medium tote and matching soft wallet in brown damask. I love that fabric.
I am a lover of the $1 rack at Target also. Your teacher's gifts look so cute. Who would think to add "spirits" to coffee...maybe teachers trying to cope with kids ready for Christmas break. Your gift might be the envy of all.
I agree with Laurie... your gift might be the envy of all the school staff! :)
I would LOVE a tote or backpack. My poor backpack for my Bible and church stuff is getting very frayed and ratty looking. Time to upgrade!
Lysa,
Must I choose? I LOVE it all. The tote bags are so cool. I think all the note cards and labels are super cute too. Have a great day!
What's not to love at that store!?! I love the handbags, aprons, baskets. All of it too cute!
I can't wait to see you in January. I am giving my best friend a trip to Houston with me for Christmas. Can anyone say Road trip?? I am so excited and can't wait to tell her!
I would love the letter hangers or any one of the many totes---I would probably pick one that would suit my amazing 16 year iold daughter and give it to her for her upcoming birthday.
I look forward to reading your blog daily Lysa---even though I do not always post in the comments. You are usually my "first stop" in the blog reading world.
So...when are you coming to California????
Blessings for a Wonderful Day!
Wendy
From Thirty-One,
I would get the big Initial letters, the skirt purse (how cute!), and the soy candles.
Great idea for the teacher's gifts! Limey green pails...cute-cute.
I would really like one of the wallets; I'm 27 with two kids and still carrying the wallet my sister give me a long time ago with a little blue and green turtle on it. The matching purse would be nice too,
Have a Great Day
bp_creations@msn.com
Teacher gift.....ooops, how did that slip my mind....thanks for the reminder and cute idea!
As to Thirty-One, very cute stuff. The totes are lovely and perhaps a small soft wallet.
Have a great day!
I love the Brown Woven Cindy Tote & large Travel Duffel Bag to match - give me a pair and I'm on my way! Finding myself needing something smaller than a suitcase for quick trips to visit my dad, whose health is declining.
Wow! I love the organizing tote bag and the travel cosmetics bag among many, many other things too! I have not heard of this company before and I'm definitely a'house party junky' as I'm sure many of your readers are. Free or discounted gifts? I'm there... I also heart Target (otherwise know as Tarjayyyy for the more sophisticated shoppers!) When it opened here just a few years ago, my family thought I had gone whacko I was so excited! I grew up with Target in the Midwest, but it's a relatively new phenomenon in my area of the East coast.
For teachers, I often do a bucket with microwave popcorn, chocolate, candy and a gift card to the local movie store for those cold winter nights..
Oh, the $1 rack at Target is full of delights, some are just more hidden than others. :)
I love Thirty-One! It's so hard to choose, but I'd go with the baskets and the organizers, because I'm slowly trying to get my home ordered a bit more.
hee hee
You had me laughing out loud this morning! I still giggle a little whenever I think about it! For real? Does it say on the package to add some alcohol to your morning coffee? tee hee...Now those teachers will know the truth...here they were thinking you were filled with the Holy Spirit. Truth's out now! :)
And thanks for this giveaway! I love the the brown damask totes with the cute little bows! I would have to get one for me and one for my mom. She is the queen of purses! :)
Have a blast in Texas...ummmm...just the Holy Spirit, though, K?
:)
I'm a big Target fan and now I'm a big Thirty-One fan! They have so many gorgeous things. With the certificate, I'd pick the skirt purse and get a matching one for my 4 yr old daughter who loves purses (esp when she gets to be like Mom). That's a little more than the certificate, but so worth it I don't mind spending my own money too!
The teachers gifts are so cute...I wouldn't have had a clue about the coffee brand either.
Thirty One has some beautiful items. My heart would skip a beat if given a monagrammed medium tote...all the colors are great!
Blessings, Caroline

Lysa, you are so funny! I think 'Southern Comfort' just may be the perfect gift for teachers, to help them relax over their time off. :) Jesus did turn water into wine, right? Anyhow, I'd probably max out that $75 on some yummy smelling candles or maybe an all in one organizer for the car? Please enter me. Thanks!!
Those teachers need a laugh! I loved all of the stuff at Thirty One; I would probably pick the skirt purse and maybe one or two skirts to go along! What an awesome idea!
So cute!!! I would probably get a cute purse for me and one for my best friend!!
Have fun in Houston! I wish I could be there too!!!
love the medium size tote/purse.
Too cute!
karla04
I, too, love that skirt purse idea! Such a great concept. I'd go for the brown polka dot one and the Julie stripe. So fun!!
Danelle A
Oh My goodness gracious!!!!! I love it ALLLL. I can only pick something???? Well, I had to limit it to 4 - Any of the wrought iron word art, the adult "julie stripe" purse, the girls' cinch sac, the cute little lunch boxes, the fabulous candles, oh, I could so go on and on. Have mercy!!! This is sooo my favorite stuff!!! And what a name. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
God bless your socks off!! :-)
I totally love the small bow bag on page 9. I'm all about small purses as that forces me to keep the clutter out!
I'm still working on gifts for my son's teachers. One tough job.
okay, so maybe I got a little carried away??? It was 5 and not 4!!! Smiles!!
I'd love to get the purse for me, and the lunch pail for my daughter. I love their stuff. I ws thinking of becoming a consultant just to get the consultant stuff...but I had self-control.
Crossing my fingers.
The totes are all so beautiful!
jill_harriott@yahoo.com
I love your teacher gifts. You are more creative than you give yourself credit for!
I can't wait until January. I purchased my tickets to the Girls Night Out yesterday. I hope I get the chance to meet you.
Thirty One has some great gifts. Do I have to pick just one? Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Your blog cracks me up! Those little pails turned out cute and I'm sure the teachers will love them. I had never heard of Thirty One; thank you for sharing! I'm desperately trying to see who else I can shop for...so many cute things. I would probably get a shoulder bag and some of the wrought iron word art.
My name is Jen and I will join you in the clueless department. I bought these gorgeous "glass" bottles that I thought would adorn my kitchen sink just beautifully. They were etched with intricate designs...yep - loved them for $1 at the thrift store.
Well, after I gazed at them a few days, I had a sinking feeling when I turned them around and saw some words written on the side. Now, I have never been a drinker but even the most naive, clueless gals have seen movies where the richy types pour glasses of hard alcohol from those gorgeous cantors. So I googled the name...yep, I'll join you in the clueless department. Come on - they sure are pretty when they are empty. :)
First of all I just want to say how much I have enjoyed reading your blog the last couple of days (I'm a new here). You crack me up! And like you, I love the $1 aisle at Target!
Now as far as the Thirty One catalog, it's hard to choose. I love the skirt purses, and the kids bags. The organizers look like something I could use in my kids' rooms, but then again I'm a sucker for yummy smelling candles.
I would have to get the Believe letter and the pull apart cosmetic bag!!! Such cute stuff!! And I am sure the teachers will like the coffee. Prbably didn't even notice the name or alcohol thing!
Love the lunch bags- love the boys backpack- and I'm adding the sassy sack to my christmas list!
Laura
ormeroids@cox.net
So thats how you Southern girls start the party...first thing in the morning...hehe!!
Those skirt purses are adorable...one for a friend and one for me...it would be!
Cute stuff! I would love the large duggle bag!
I love the letter hangers and anything personalized would be fun! Love the luggage stuff for sure.
Blessings~Marie
I almost bought some SC coffee once! I bet it's tasty, anyway.
As much as I'd love a new wallet, and a tote for my Bible, I'd get a brown damask or black bubble backpack--my daughter needs one some kinda bad, and we don't have the funds right now. She's complaining about carrying her stuff the old-fashioned way--w/ her arms! Ha--if she only knew how I had to do school...two miles uphill in the snow...(just kidding--I rode a bus about 1 mile!) I really like the Thirty-One products.
♥Susan
I love all totes and bags! These are all beautiful. I especially love gingham type fabric!
Good morning, Lysa
Thanks for directing us to this website. I loved reading about this company that seeks to honor God. I would most definitely get two Julie totes. I teach two homeschool co-op classes and each tote could carry the materials I need. When I'm not in class, everything will be nicely organized on my closet shelf. Thanks for the opportunity.
Cute gifts, I'm sure that the coffee is probably just great by itself! You did a great job putting the gifts together!
I have never heard of Thirty One, they have really cute stuff. I love the half aprons, they are adorable... and my daughter can get one to match!
Love your teacher gifts! As for the contest...Chocolate Chic purses and totes...I am so in need of a nice purse...carrying an old "relic" purse from Kohls right now(really made by Relic) anyways it's sad looking. Happy I did your survey, plopped myself down next to the Christmas tree last night and caught up on some reading!
Thanks for the prompt!
Cute, cute things!!!! I've never seen this line before. I'm actually a first-time viewer of your blog...so maybe you've mentioned them before?
I would love the boys camo backpack, the camo design folded notecards and the camo ID tags for my little guy!
REALLY cute catalog!
I would get a camo tote that says "Boys Rock"
Just kidding - that's what my men would like me to get.
I love the organizing tote and the magazine basket.
Thanks for the contest!
I love, love thirty-one products! I would purchase something for my darling girls..or splurge and get myself the large tote bag! Shh..this is what my mom's getting for Christmas--so chic and useful! Gotta love that!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win another giveaway!!! Those products Thirty One products are great! I'd love to get the adult back pack and the wrought iron word art.
Love your story today too, by the way! You make me laugh!!!
Blessings,
Michelle in CA

While most women are addicted to shoes, I am addicted to totes/purses and wallets!! This is right up my alley! I think I would pick the skirt purse and some type of duffle bag. I am expecting my 2nd child in about 6-7 weeks, so any extra bags to tote things around are welcome!!
I love your blogs, they always make me smile.
~Stacy
Hi Lysa,
$1 rack at Target - great idea, heading over there after work.
I love all the products at 31 - especially all those earth tone color ones. If I had to pick I would buy the big letters, tote bags (a girl can never have enough of these) and of course the Caramel Cappuccino candles. :-)
Thanks for yet another opportunity to win a giveaway!
Blessings to you and yours!
Delia
my fave is the smal bow purse. so so so cute.
Thirty One has so many cute things! I would love the skirt purse with a skirt or two. I also love the thermal lunch totes and adult aprons. What a fun giveaway! Thanks!
Wow what a great catalog. Thirty one has a lot of cute things. I really like the baskets and organizers.
Deb
I like I like! Okay here are the goddies I saw and almost coveted:
Adult Chef Apron, Black floral thermal Tote (need to strat taking lunch to work), Folded note cards-Bubble Pop) and the Address Label/Gift Stickers in Bubble Pop
I would love the small bow purse. My daughter's birthday is Jan 5 and she is turning 2 and is in love with purses. We are having a chic shopping diva party with a mini boutique for the girl's to shop from.
I love the polka dot apron for me! Cute!
With 4 kids 4 and under (3 in diapers!), I'd have to choose the shoulder organizer - it looks like a great bag to tote all our "gear." But I'd probably end up buying cinch sacks for all my kids. So much cute stuff!
I adore the wrought iron word art. OR, a personalized cosmetics bag... Tough decisions!
Wow...so glad you introduced us to "Thirty One"....love it! All of the items look great. I think I'd go for the "Adult Backpack"...love the brown! Count me in the contest!
I am going to see if there are any consultants in this area! I'd love to know more.
Thanks, Lysa! :)
Safe and fruitful travels!
Ohhh There are so many cute things to pick from. I like the monogrammed letters, the make up bags, and the kids back packs to start off with. :)
I used to teach school, and your little gift buckets are darling! Especially since they contain some Christian Chicken. I love Chick-Fil-A. They will be much appreciative of your thoughts and kindness!
Aimee
Your teacher gifts are so cute - great idea!
I know being in Canada this prize probably doesn't extend to me, but I checked out the catalog anyway. I'm a word girl, so the wrought iron word art is my first pick! There was also a cute polka dot brown purse and what looked like a daisy tote bag that caught my eye.
Speaking of your great deals at Target, the Christian Bookstore here that went bankrupt in the Fall hasn't completely closed yet. I drove over this afternoon and ALL books were $2.95!!! Let's just say I came home with more than a few good buys!
Enjoying a good deal,
Joy
I heart the Adult skirt purse!! What a clever product! The Messy circle pattern is my favorite!
I am bookmarking Thirty-One, so I can share my wish list with my hubby!
Thanks Lysa!!
Tanya
I have never seen or heard of Thirty-One so I was really surprised by how great their stuff is! I would probably go for the Adult backpack. Much cooler than using my son's old hand me down.
Lucky teachers to be getting Chick-Fil-A gift cards...who cares about the coffee when you get a great chicken sandwich!!
Michelle
mbarefoot2000@yahoo.com
Love the wrought iron word art!
thanks for the suggestion of the $1 bin at Target. I have to go tonight and get teacher gifts and was wondering what I was going to get.
I loved looking at the catalog! I think I like the organizer shoulder bag best.
Thanks!
Robin
I'm savin' money on the teacher gifts by homeschooling...hey, I need to get myself something special! :)
On the giveaway, I would love the basket that keeps all you goodies warm!
Thanks-
Kim
Love all the products. So much creativitiy. I really like the letter hooks. The hanging makeup bag or other makeup bag.
Your teacher gifts are great. I would not have known about the coffee.
Darla
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! The organized tote for sure...because I am 43 years old and STILL using the diaper bag I had when my kids were babies because I am too cheap to buy something when I still have a usable bag.
Thank you for your blog, blessings to your family Lysa!
I'm still laughing at the Southern Comfort coffee. I never would have thought...LOL!
And I love the monogrammed letters in the catalog! Too cute!
It would be hard to pick just one item...so many great items. I love the lunch totes! The bags come in so many great sizes and patterns...
I need a new bag for all my "church" stuff!!!
Thanks for sharing....
C
Oh my goodness!! I JUST gave that coffee as a gift!!! Lord have mercy and it was to one of the elder's of our church!
Oh please pick me so I can redeem myself! AHH.
I wouldn't have thought about it either (the coffee). Oh well. The gift is awesome!
Now for that give-a-way...if I was to choose (which was so difficult) I would go with the wroth iron words or the insulated basket...I think...The hand bags were fun--too many to choose from!
Thanks Lysa!Pamela
I LOVE any of the purses. They are beautiful!
For some reason I get an error when I try to view the catalog, but I really like the backpacks, totes and shoulder bag that I see on the home page. :)
Would love to pick out something but am unable to access the catalog. Not sure what the problem is.
peace~elaine
I LOVE the wrought iron word art. cool products
Thought of you when I read it and how your blog brings so many of us together each day! God Bless!
TO: God.com
Dear Lord,
Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer, too.
Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits 'send'
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.com
Amen
I'd start with a magazine basket and work my way over to the Cindy bag and skirt purse!! Beautiful!
The Thirty One catalog was fun to browse through! I liked the wrought iron word art, the organizing shoulder bags, and the candles..I love candles! There were a lot of neat things in there!
Would be fun to win! Merry Christmas!

What a great store---to choose one thing, I couldn't do. I loved their totes, their shoulder bags, their wrought iron words, their fabric baskets, their personalized stuff. Thanks for the intro to a great place to shop.
Well, I need a travel bag so I would probably go with one of those. Great stuff by the way.
Okay...too cute! I would have to go with the adult skirt purse. I saw something very similar today at the mall. Having a large family, I own one purse and use it year round. It is now over two years old and in sad condition. But somehow when children outgrow shoes and clothes, I put my money there and not into a handbag. Oh well.
What a fun website - Thirty One! My wish list includes the large travel duffel, the all in one organizers, and the kids aprons. Too cute!
Kelly in Bham
lipford@charter.net
WOW thanks for introducing us to this company...everything is so stinking cute! Baskets, bags...wow fun!
Lysa,
I love the Cindy tote in Brown woven but I also love the kids aprons. I would need two. I guess I would have to choose. There wasn't anything that I didn't like.
Thank you for entering me,
Tasha
Hi Lysa -
I almost missed out on this great give-away as we had ICE here in Texas yesterday. Driving on ice is certainly not my forte, but I was forced to go to work anyway and was a complete wreck all day.
Anyway, I truly heart Thirty-One. I am carrying one of their purses right now.
I would love to add a black Cindy Tote to my collection - "holds everything...while looking stylish." I need all the help I can get in the looking stylish department! hehe
Merry Christmas!
Lori

Hilarious story.
I am totally "wowed" by the ThirtyOne site. Love it love it. I want a skirt purse!! (My daughter will want one too!!)
Hopefully I'm not too late! What an awesome catalog. I've bookmarked it for future reference! I'd have to choose the bubble quilted adult backpack. I NEED a new backpack - desperately for family day trips to the zoo, etc. My old one died last summer and I haven't found an opportunity to shop for a new one. What an awesome item it is!! Thanks for doing this. Blessings!
I have one thing to say about the 31 stuff...CUTE, CUTE, CUTE! Okay that is three things. I loved the insolated bags and the kids apron/chef's hat sets! Cute stuff, thanks for introducing us to it!
I love 31!!! Everything is so cute and they have such an awesome company story. If I were to win, I would choose a skirt purse or several of the dark chocolate letter hangers.
Brenna
brennabeard@yahoo.com
WOw....that is a great place.
I love all the monogramming!
I would surely want the Large travel duffel....or the Big tote (it's black floral).
Love them.
Thanks.
Wow, very cute stuff. I really like it. I would love the skirt purses to change out the different skirts to the purse to change them up. I think it is an inventive idea. I like all the chocolate colors, floral and stripes, it is all very beautiful. I would be so excited to win this. Thanks, Angie Gullett
Wow! I love this 31 stuff. It would be so fun to become a consultant. I have never seen anything like it sold around here. I LOVE IT ALL!!! If I just HAD to narrow it down, I would start with the sassy brown polka dot bag, or maybe the blanket, or the skirt purse, or maybe the back pack. Man this is ALOT harder than I thought. Maybe I would just put the $75.00 toward becoming a consultant. Yeah that is what I would do!! If that is allowed that is.
OH WOW! I would LOOOOOOVE to give away some of those yummy smelling candles. Or maybe a tote bag. Teachers can never have too many of those right?! And they always love meal certificates. My hubby is a restaurant manager so we get to bless our kids teachers that way too. It's always fun.
That sounds like something I'd do! Thanks for sharing that cute story. :)
Lynnette
Lysa,
Thanks for sharing your everyday adventures. I can relate to so many of them in my life, too. I enjoyed looking at the super soft blanket, adult backpack and candles. So many wonderful items in the catalog. Have a fabulous trip!
mheard11@verizon.net
As a teacher, I think your pails are terrific! Any teacher would be blessed and would easily see the thought put into the gift.
Wow! I love the Thirty-One catalog... just might have to book a party... or at least order... it was very hard to choose, but think that my favorite is the medium tote in the brown woven fabric with a the large wallet in the matching fabric... even then, I will have to pay a little... :)
Thank you!
Hi Lysa,
I have never heard of this company, and, being a purse/bag junkie, had a good time looking at the site. I would definitely choose the brown woven shoulder organizer bag. Or maybe the brown woven medium bag to carry my books and diapers in. Or maybe the Cyndy tote. In the brown woven. Defintely. Thanks!
Debbie
Oooh, neat stuff.. I'd get a sassy bag with a laptop insert.. or some wrought iron words.. I could easily blow the whole gift cert. on words!

I actually just bought my teacher gifts at Target this week! They always have neat dinnerware for cheap that makes a cute serving piece. I usually buy one plate per teacher and have spent only $4! You can put homemade (or store-bought) goodies on them if you wanted, to add something to it!
And I love the Thirty One bags - all of them are very cute. But how could you pick just one!
well this ALL-IN-ONE ORGANIZER, for starters... followed up with a super cute tote!!!
I would have to get one of those big baskets. I need a new shoe basket by my front door and they look the perfect size.
rweston810@yahoo.com
LOL! about the "Southern Comfort." I bought "Jack Daniels" & "Irsh Cream" as jokes. But I loved the Chocolate Carmel Coffee in the $ bags-It's my favorite.
I would love a travel bag or wrought iron word art from Thirty-One.
This catalog has a lot of beautiful and usefull things.
Think i would choose bags and organizers
I appreciate the laugh over the coffee incident- imagine if Art hadn't told you??? Well, for the thirty- one gift- I love the aprons and the bags. I ordered my teacher sister- inlaw one of the lunch bags with her name on it and it was too cute!! Merry Christmas!!

I just had to thank you for the teacher gift idea. Mine varied as all my Target $1 items were kid oriented or for doggie stockings. I snuck back to the travel size stuff and made her a teacher survival kit for her desk that included chocolates, a new fancy notepad and pens, Aleve, lip balm, hair elastics, gum, hand balm and a really nice card. Including the cute little fabric bucket I completed my gift for slightly under $20.
We also asked about classroom supplies and found out the markers were drying out so we gifted the whole class with new markers for when they return in January. I don't know about where you are but our teachers restock supplies out of their pocket more often than not so to be given class supplies actually saves them money from there own personal account.
Just wanted to say thanks for the idea and let you know it was a big hit!
i'd get my man the camo organizer!
