I've looked at the posts written by my good little boy. I see no clues as to what he would want.
--Santa
P.S. I hope I haven't given a clue as to who the good little boy is.

Oh, yeah. Part of the fun is going through your giftee's threads and posts to see if there isn't something totally unique that would be really appreciated.

If they are 1/8" and heading to NH, hundreds of thousand and I'll never recycle another freewheel ball bearing again!

By volume, 96,807 1/4" balls. However you would exceed the weight limit as 792 cubic inches of 1/4 balls would weigh 225 lbs. +/-
With the 70 lb. flat rate weight limit, you could ship 30,170 1/4 ball bearings per box.
However, if you found a "free shipping program," then the constraint is the Secret Santa $30 limitation, which would be about 720 1/4 bearings.

And how many 1/4 bearings can an unladen swallow carry?

That's when you get creative...t-shirts, posters, etc. Go with basics like bar tape, cool water bottles - the stuff we all find useful. When I've been in that situation I've PMd people they were friendly with for suggestions. There's always a cool doodad out there.

While that could be a good idea, the rules state to post the pictures in this thread. Don't want to make Pastor Bob angry, should be his call. I hear he has an in with the big guy, you might get on the naughty list...
