Almost done!

December 14th, 2007 at 09:43 pm

ok, so I still have 12 pages of translation to go...
we are done with all the toy wrapping (yay!) and today all we have to do is load the cars to be ready for tomorrow (take the toys to the place where the party will be held, tag and bag there)

Then on Sunday night we load cousin's car for the last delivery on Monday (toys are already wrapped)...

almost done....almost, but not quite!

    Are you donating toys for a toy drive?

    we sell toys for Xmas. Here it's traditional for (larger) companies to give their employees toys for their children at Xmas...we have this one customer that likes us to do the "whole service"...he just picks the toys, sends us the employee/children list and we work everything from there (invitations to the children's party, tickets for food and sodas, hiring the food and sodas, buying the piniatas, the candy, the stick to hit the pinatas and even the ropes to string them up!...buying the toys, wrapping them, tagging them and separating the lot so that employee X, with 1 daughter aged 1, 1 son aged 4 and 1 son aged 12, for example, gets a bag with the corresponding toys according to what the HR person picked for each age range....it's a lot of work!)

    We do have 30-50 toys "leftover" from the physical samplers we showed this year (we give the customers a "virtual" catalogue in a CD, then they pick what they want to see and we take samples, so they may see the actual toy and from that they pick what they want)...so, we have those toys, but, rather than contributing to a toy drive, we were thinking about giving them to children who generally sell stuff in the main intersections of the city...there are plenty of them Frown and they probably won't get to go to any of the institutions handing out toys!

    That is too bad for the kids at the main intersections. I think it is also nice that the larger companies provide employees with kids toys
