I\u0026nbsp;received this lightbox, for free, after spending more than $80.00 in American Eagle. It is not a Heidi Swapp lightbox, but it is still fun to have one. \u0026nbsp;It came with limited \"slides\" and it is only battery operated (vs. Heidi Swapp's which\u0026nbsp;has electric capabilities), but I included an extra round of batteries and all of the extra slides. \u0026nbsp;I assume my sister would keep this. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EMy message to them was simple... \u003Cb\u003E\"Merry\u0026nbsp;Christmas!\"\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-QPM77xksGR4\/XCto1HYt1wI\/AAAAAAAFBYw\/kf1KfGba6MAIJz9grQ7Az_27kLhF_Q37ACLcBGAs\/s640\/fullsizeoutput_ec74.jpeg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EWhat was inside?\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-OC1BR8dcSOk\/XCtoxjWrefI\/AAAAAAAFBYQ\/FjU8VCsvsjQxwBZZfnSGzXQxcl-YpKQHACLcBGAs\/s640\/bE%252BKoqL0SiSzcBAy9XW%252BxA.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EI am very selective when giving to others. \u0026nbsp;I don't like the idea of running out at the last second and just gifting a gift card. I want the gift to be well thought out, the\u0026nbsp;recipient truly considered, their loves, their life\u0026nbsp;dynamic, etc. etc. etc. \u0026nbsp;My mom and sister are people of need, so to speak. They work really hard, but I know money is always tight. \u0026nbsp;Technically, I would gather that so is food. \u0026nbsp;Buying luxuries probably RARELY happens and having someone drop some extra cash in their lap might cause a sigh or\u0026nbsp;relief and possibly even tears. \u0026nbsp;SO I\u0026nbsp;decided to do a little bit of everything....\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EFirst up, I spotted these DARLING pajamas at Belk. \u0026nbsp;The truth is, I bought them 6 pairs of pajamas\u0026nbsp;because when I was in the store, I couldn't decide which pair I wanted and I was afraid if I\u0026nbsp;only BOUGHT one pair each and changed my mind, the others wouldn't be there when I went\u0026nbsp;back. YUP! I will jump through hoops to make sure I have the gift just right. \u0026nbsp;The first two pairs were VERY similar. \u0026nbsp;They were a pair of pink\/purple palm trees with hanging\u0026nbsp;ornaments\u0026nbsp;from them AND then there was a red\/green set just like it. \u0026nbsp;The other set was a gown that read,\u003Ci style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003E \"Merry Christmas Ya'll!\" \u003C\/i\u003EOne set screamed Florida and one set\u0026nbsp;screamed\u0026nbsp;Virginia. \u0026nbsp;I thought it would be cute to have Whitney in Florida pjs and my mom in\u0026nbsp;Virginia pjs, since that's where they live, but then I also thought being able to match on Christmas morning would be fun too. \u0026nbsp;I chose the pink palm tree pjs because those are more practical for throughout the year. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-Lwda8GBi84w\/XCtox_7VQ_I\/AAAAAAAFBYY\/3cHn6HtzDUsUvUBkPezqHp7OB39CCBvpwCLcBGAs\/s640\/fullsizeoutput_ec6d.jpeg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EThen, for the sake of time, I carefully played a tetris game and nicely fit everything into the box, unwrapped. \u0026nbsp;I enclosed this note!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1185\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-ZKnR8Y1nog4\/XCtvCtmykJI\/AAAAAAAFBZU\/ZUtP_zxitQAVhe6RiLqe1Y1PPPxUe2OjACLcBGAs\/s640\/Mom%2526Whitney.png\" width=\"472\" \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EEach lady was\u0026nbsp;allotted\u0026nbsp;one of everything: harvest snaps, boom\u0026nbsp;chicka pop popcorn, a Dabney Lee makeup bag set, CASH, pjs, gourmet straws, a TJ Maxx gift card, a gift card to (6) eateries choices, a\u0026nbsp;chuau chocolate bar, and a gift card to Fresh Market. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-OSljkBmX5VI\/XCtoxoEJuyI\/AAAAAAAFBYU\/32AtDErOx845bq7Z-Eq6l7exgjQ-Q_TMwCLcBGAs\/s640\/fullsizeoutput_ec6e.jpeg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EI believe this collection of gifts was a little bit of EVERYTHING that ANYONE would fully enjoy!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-XaASFHbkuv0\/XCto0cVgFCI\/AAAAAAAFBYo\/Mk4JFKaKJ44L4EI86cF6jMVa1bBjcRWdwCLcBGAs\/s640\/fullsizeoutput_ec72.jpeg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003EThey both said this arrived at the perfect time. \u0026nbsp;My mom doesn't get paid when she is out of work, so the cash and gift cards would not only supplement her loss of work, but would allow her and my sister to do something run together.
