Has anyone seen a child's suitcase that says "going to grandma's" by chance? My mom got one for my first ds 2 years ago. It was from Lillian Vernon and she was able to get his name put on it. I have another ds now and it doesn't appear Lillian Vernon carries this item anymore - have searched their catalogs and website with no luck. Has anyone seen anything similar somewhere else?

Thanks!

We have one by Mercury luggage. I got it a few years ago at a PX (military store) but I have seen them other places, maybe Walmart? Ours is a red one with girly design but they do a blue one with a boyish design.
I just checked e-bay and they have one, not sure if its new and it's expensive shipping. I couldn't see the suitcase on the mercury website, but I'm sure someone cleverer than me could find you one!

I have a little hardback suitcase that has a little boy and says "Going to Grandma's" that I would offer, but my MIL found it somewhere (a garage sale? although it does look new) and it might not be so good to give it away--yet anyway!

I found some others--this one doesn't look like you actually use it for packing though, more as a collector's item: http://www.collector-connection.com/child-to-cherish-blue-going-to-grandma-s.html

Thank you so much ladies! The Mercury one looks very close to what we're looking for and we'll probably order it.
