I'd encourage some of these as wedding gifts, except that we're trying to limit what we have to move to Scotland. Ballrooms are so unwieldy.

Excellent... now I know what to get you for your birthday.
...I assume that by ballroom you mean a room full of coloured balls?
I also went through a beaded portico phase, or as I prefer to call them 'gypsy beads'. I even made one as a missionary, in Plain City. The fellow at the Ogden DI thought they'd never sell the giant black garbage bag full of threaded beads. Oh, the utility of such a find!
Sadly, the portico was dismantled at a later date when the beads were chopped off their strings and used in a mass object lesson at a multi-stake youth day.
This list would have been so helpful through the years. I am thinking 2-ply Charmin is going to be the wedding gift. Maybe I will just use it to toilet paper outside of the reception seeing you cannot carry it overseas. JK. Thanks, Steve, for commenting on the post. It was fun to stalk you via your blog and to again realize how wonderful of a fit you are for the great MBC. I have a renewed hope in finding my perfect suitor because of your story! Sigh...that was much too mushy for a Wednesday, I must move on. :)
I myself as a Charmin fan. Better yet are the new flushable Charmin wipes. We don't skimp on the toliet paper in our house.
Cheese curd. I hear so much about it. I'm almost craving it though I've never had it. Will that travel well in the mail? Can I even get it in a land of few cows?
Steve--Don't you worry, I'll make you a new MBC wishlist and post it somewhere prominent in the flat, but here's a clue: WELLIES.
Alice--That would have been a good thought, but, yes, bulky to transport.
Meg--I hear you. Charmin is one of those things that's absolutely worth the extra money.
Heidi--You never had it at the creamery at BYU? Delightful!
The more I think about it, the more I am worried about toilet paper in Scotland.
They've got Charmin. Now Romania, that's a different story.
TORRIDITY! Remember torrid shoes? And the love child named Eva? (I still like that name. I'm surprised I didn't use it on one of my boys.)
Seeing this list again brought back SO many good memories.
