Re-gift “lady gifts”: Check your closets for lovely things you won’t miss: Jewelry; Gently used scarves, purses & sun glasses; Hotel Toiletries; Cosmetic bags & Airplane kits; Unused perfume; Nail polish, Manicure sets; Journals, Stationary & such...any small items that could make someone who had to leave most of her possessions behind feel a little bit cared for.

NO clothing please (except for accessories like hat, gloves, scarves & bags). 

30 - 600 of the same thing: If you can MAKE, COLLECT, ARRANGE or SPARE a whole bunch of something we’d love to have it! Each year is different depending upon what you have to give: One year a friend made scores of lovely silken bags, a shop gave dozens of stunning earrings; a magazine editor sent tons of cosmetic samples; a dentist sent 30 chapsticks; teachers have students make cards; church ladies made up packets of tea bags & chocolates.

If you have access to these things or a bunch something else to add please contact Emily so we can make a plan.
