Baking items like cupcake wrappers and decorations. - Jul 2016
More fitness equipment; our own gardening tools and supplies; different consumables (the welcome packet had it all wrong - things we thought would be scarce are readily available, and vice versa); our car (Nissan Murano). - Mar 2015
Vanilla, spices you cannot live without. - Oct 2014
