..a surprise gift for hubby that underscored the reason to SHOP SMALL.
He wants this RC car that is kind of expensive, but it is the kind where one can buy a bunch of after-market parts to put on and he can even change out the body of the vehicle, because "body styles" are interchangable. Think sports car to baha truck.
this particular model on the website is Out of Stock, but guess who was able to special order it? ONE OF THE SMALL HOBBY SHOPS just 2 towns over from me! it should arrive next week and I can run up on my lunch hour and get it.
bonus? no shipping mishaps, where the CLEARLY and in most cases BOLDLY branded packaging ruins Xmas for him!
i am a very happy camper this morning!
