         <title><![CDATA[Gift registry service at Ape to Zebra]]></title>
         <author><![CDATA[Ape to Zebra Toys Store]]></author>
         <description><![CDATA[<img height="300" align="left" padding="4" alt="pic" src="https://www.ape2zebra.ca/images/thumbs/0004008.jpeg" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We have gotten an interesting question about our Gift Registry service and decided to address it in our blog<br />
<br />
</span>Setting up a Gift Registry at Ape to Zebra is easy.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
    All you need to do is register as an Ape to Zebra Customer and then you can start adding your favorite toys and <b>gear</b> to your registry by clicking the 'Add to Wishlist' button.&nbsp; When you view your Wish List you will see a URL on the page (bottom of your wish list).&nbsp; Simply copy and paste this URL into an email and you can now share your registry with all your <b>family</b> and friends.<br />
<br />
    When <b>family</b> and friends buy for you from your registry, they simply need to provide your first and last name (the person whose registry it is) on checkout (comments field) so that we can remove those items from the registry.<br />
<br />
    The question:&nbsp; <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Is it is possible to group all the items for a specific registry together in order to qualify for free <b>ship</b>ping</span>.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
    This is a bit more difficult because we wouldn't know when everyone is &quot;done&quot; shopping and we may decide to <b>ship</b> and someone come in with a late order after we have <b>ship</b>ped.<br />
<br />
    This is what we propose if you want to organize combined <b>ship</b>ping for items bought from your registry: <span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">**</span>(free <b>ship</b>ping offer only available on regular size items - not for oversize items)<br />
<br />
    &nbsp;<br />
    1)&nbsp; Create your registry <br />
    2)&nbsp; Contact us via the <a href="http://www.ape2zebra.ca/contactus.aspx" target="_blank">Contact Us</a> page and notify is that you want items from your registry combined for <b>ship</b>ping<br />
    3)&nbsp; Share your registry with friends and <b>family</b> via email (send them the link that you see when you view your registry when logged in)<br />
    4)&nbsp; Also share the following with <b>family</b> and friends if you want to group items<br />
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li>Enter first/last name of registry holder in comments field</li>
<li>Add this comment on checkout:&nbsp; This item is for a registry and items needs to be combined for free <b>ship</b>ping</li>
<li>If <b>ship</b>ping address is in ONTARIO, please select &quot;Pick-up at Campbellville&quot; on <b>ship</b>ping selection screen to avoid <b>ship</b>ping charges.&nbsp; For addresses outside of ON, Ape to Zebra will refund <b>ship</b>ping charged.<br />
</li>
<li>Complete order</li></ul>5)&nbsp; Ape to Zebra will combine all the orders and refund <b>ship</b>ping on individual orders if <b>ship</b>ping address is not in Ontario.&nbsp; We will ask the registry owner to check in with us and monitor their registry and let us know once they think we can <b>ship</b>.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
    It will be the job of the registry owners to notify <b>family</b> and friends when we will be <b>ship</b>ping and to ensure that everyone has placed their order before we <b>ship</b>.&nbsp; If someone places an order after we have <b>ship</b>ped we will not be able to fulfill the combined <b>ship</b>ping offer.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">**PLEASE NOTE:&nbsp; </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Free <b>ship</b>ping will ONLY be available on regular size items.&nbsp; This method will not give you free <b>ship</b>ping on oversize items </span><br />

         <title><![CDATA[Building a Tree House...]]></title>
         <author><![CDATA[Ape to Zebra Toys Store]]></author>
         <description><![CDATA[<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-style: italic">You get a hammer and I'll get a nail<br />
And you catch a <b>bird</b> and I'll catch a snail<br />
You bring a board and I'll bring a saw<br />
And we'll build a <b>house</b> for the <b>baby</b>-o</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic">Bling, Blang, hammer with my hammer<br />
Zingo, Zango, cutting with my saw<br />
Bling, Blang, hammer with my hammer<br />
Zingo, Zango, cutting with my saw</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-style: italic">I'll grab some mud and you grab some clay<br />
So when it rains it won't wash away<br />
We'll build a <b>house</b> that'll be so strong<br />
The winds will sing my <b>baby</b> a song</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-style: italic">Run bring rocks and I'll bring bricks<br />
A nice pretty <b>house</b> we'll build and fix<br />
We'll jump inside when the <b>cold</b> wind blows<br />
And kiss our little <b>baby</b>-o</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-style: italic">You bring a ladder and I'll get a box<br />
Build our <b>house</b> of bricks and blocks<br />
When the snow<b>bird</b> flies and the honeybee comes<br />
We'll feed our <b>baby</b> on honey in the comb</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0px">Humming the familiar Bling Blang song we set out to build a <b>tree</b> <b>house</b>.&nbsp; Nothing spectacular or over the top, just a nice place in the backyard&nbsp;where we can set the stage for&nbsp;2 boys and their friends to&nbsp;make some childhood memories.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0px">Building a <b>tree</b> <b>house</b> with 2 small boys and a <b>dog</b> is&nbsp;easier said than done and sometimes phrases of the song were changed in order to vent some frustration but all set and done, the <b>tree</b> <b>house</b> is almost finished and I wasn't too surprised when the plans got changed&nbsp;midway to include&nbsp;stairs instead of a ladder, a 6 foot&nbsp;door opening instead of 4 and enough <b>space</b> for a deck chair....</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0px">We'll post some pictures when it is done!&nbsp; I was thinking of putting a little terrarium inside for the boys to keep insects caught in the forest, but then maybe Emil will use the terrarium as a stair to try and climb over the side of the <b>tree</b> <b>house</b> - maybe when they are older.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0px">For those that are interested, Bling Blang and many other very enjoyable songs are available at Ape to Zebra on Putumayo's <a href="http://www.ape2zebra.ca/products/childrenstoys/10332-<b>putumayo</b>-sing-along-cd.aspx" target="_self">Sing Along with Putumayo CD</a></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0px">We have this CD in the car and it is impossible to count the number of times we have listened to it without clawing my way out of the car, really good music.</p>]]></description>
