Another unexpected email was from an employee at DiscountPartySupplies.com. She emailed to ask if it would be ok to send Boo a little gift. Again, I was blown away by the initial offer, but even more so when the package arrived. I had no idea there were even that many Scooby Doo party supplies.
The package included:
Ring toss game
Centerpiece
2 packages of stickers
Tattoos
Coloring book
Activity book
Table cover
Large plates
Small plates
Large napkins
Small napkins
Cups
Plastic utensils
Invitations
Thank you cards
Wristbands
Banner
Treat bags
Kaleidoscope
2 packages of balloons
2 packages of streamers
Jacks
Scooby Doo bouncy ball
Guest of Honor ribbon
Scooby mask
Scooby Doo stuffed animal
I’m saving the supplies for a year-end party at Boo’s preschool. Hopefully, I can keep them out of sight, out of mind for Boo until then.
But for me personally, the best part of the care package was the incredibly kind letter written by the President of DiscountPartySupplies.com. It was handwritten (which I truly appreciate) and from the heart. He is a father of 2 and understood the dilemma we face everyday when it comes to parenting. One line read, “Too bad some parents have to be so thoughtless, but I hope (and believe) that they are the exception rather than the rule.”
I believe that too, Sir. And I hope that many of you agree. The world is always a better place when we display thoughtfulness and tolerance. Kind people often speak more quietly than mean ones, but the former’s messages come across so much clearer.
Thank you, DiscountPartySupplies.com. I am so grateful for your generosity and kindness. Boo and his friends are going to have a party to remember for the rest of their lives!
