Another idea I had was to send christmas candies and cookies.
I am going to stock up on little things on clearance year round.
Do you guys have any different ideas of things to send?

I was able to adopt a lady today! I am so excited!
The nursing home called today to ask if I would take her. She isn't a patient, she lives at home. Her husband has passed away recently, and she will be spending the holidays alone. She has asked for some tennis shoes, a blanket, and groceries. They also asked if we could deliver to her. Typically donors aren't allowed to take the items to the person, but she is at home and very lonely, and would like the company.
We will also be taking her laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. Can you guys think of anything else that would be good to send?
I am involving everyone I know to make her Christmas special.
Also, I am looking for a great deal on size 10 shoes.
Things your kids make would be a great gift. can you find out anything about her?

I love this idea! Thanks for sharing it.
Our town is big into the Toys for Tots/Christmas for Kids things, but when I hear of the parents of those kids working the system to get $400-500 worth of toys for EACH kid, I get disgusted. One family I'm distantly aquainted with maps out all the freebie charities like we do BF.
I'd much rather do something like this for someone I know is in need.
I understand what you mean. I try not to be petty, especially now, but I can't help but wonder sometimes. The family we ended up with puzzles me. We were supposed to have a man and wife with 5 children. They had a car accident and were unable to work. They switched it at last minute, and we now have a single mom with 5 kids. They are 5, 4,3,2, and 1 month. She asked for clothing and kitchen utensils for herself, and she wears a 7/8. Wow! is all I can say. 5 kids, one of whom is a month old, and she's a 7?
I don't care at all to give to these children, but those look like preventable circumstances. I know there may be more to her story, but it really saddens me that there's a good chance there isn't.
I would like to add this link that was on our local news last night. I highly recommend watching the video to see how some people are scamming our local charities. I cannot believe what lenghths people will go to.

You can check eastbay.com for shoes size 10 in their outlet they have great deals and they are offering free shipping right now too.
Other things to send maybe a new hairbrush, nailfile, clippers.

How about a Teddy Bear? We all need someone to hold and hug!

I don't see free shipping on shoes. Is it over? I bought a couple of pairs the other day when it was F/S w/ shoe purchase.
Is this still offer good, or is it only on $75?
Thought I'd help out alittle.

I just saw this code on the "online" section...
Now shipping is free with this code IPEB7NSH as long as you have one pair of
shoes in your cart. HTH's

You know what strikes me as odd.. When I was in grade school, every year, we would
go and visit the local nursing home in town, and sing xmas carols to them, and also
Pick a person and give them a small bag of cookies that we baked.
These school DONT do this around here. I'm kinda wondering why. I think we have
2 nursing homes in our town, and 1 is "you have to have money to be there" and the
2nd is more rundown and people there are probably alittle more needy.
My son participated in this program for 3 years, now my daughter is in it. It means so much to those people to have these kids come in and visit them.
It has always bothered me how the elderly are so often forgotten about, not just at Christmas:no:
