Re: [apmultiples] gender stereotypes

I LOVE Robeez. They offer a multiples discount too of 10%. They use to offer
a 20% discount if you ordered 24prs to one address- so some friends and I
got together and stocked up. You can find them on Ebay a lot too.
I"ll be selling a bunch in a few months (12-18mon size) so I'll let this
group know in case anyone wants them :)
