The non-software items on this list were items on our Amazon Smile wish list. Amazon ended the Smiles program but you can still order these items on Amazon.
Some people, for personal reasons, refuse to shop at Amazon and we respect that. If you would like to fill our wish list but not from Amazon then just look for the following items where you do shop, buy them, and send them to us at SHoWLE PO Box 6433 Toledo, OH 43613 If you would rather drop them off to us (or the vendor doesn’t allow shipments to PO Boxes), contact us and we can arrange a drop off or give you a street address to use.
Also note that except for the books, we are not married to a particular product manufacturer on this list. For example we would like four folding chairs with padding but they don’t have to be from Flash Furniture.
For Children
We would like to have a meeting or event focused on children and these items will help us do that.
