minniebeth, I think the key might be to collect something. Then, before you know it you will have [fill in the blank] coming out your ears! Our office is filled with elephant pictures, lamp, knicknacks, business card holder....
However, I MUST temper any visual you have with the information that boss's wife is an interior decorator and the office (quite amazingly!) is very beautiful and tasteful, elephants and all!!!
We are driving...SOMEWHERE I stashed away the information about the disney stores enroute.. My other thought is just to find something on ebay, stick it in my closet, and pull it out when we return!
