What I Would Buy If I Was Shopping For… (Part 1)
People often ask me gift ideas for really specific kids, so I’ve decided to hop on the holiday gift guide bandwagon with both feet and offer up some suggestions. For me there are few pleasures greater than giving a gift that someone will love. Without further ado, here’s what I would buy if I was shopping for…
1. The baby that won’t leave Mommy alone at her computer and wants to sit and bang on the keyboards: Giggles Computer Funtime for Baby ($19.99 at Leveractive)
2. The precocious child who snidely refers to Harry Potter as “kid stuff”: Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials Box Set ($23.66 on Amazon
3. My daughter, Olive, so that we might free up some room on our DVR: Yo Gabba Gabba!: The Dancey Dance Bunch DVD ($12.99 on Amazon
4. The 4-year-old that has so many toys, you can’t bear the thought of adding another to the collection: Too Many Toys by David Shannon ($11.55 on Amazon)
5. The 10-year-old that has so many video games, you can’t bear the thought of adding another to the collection: a Gamefly.com gift certificate ($22.95/month – $275.40/year at Gamefly.com)
This is going to be gift guide week here at Media Macaroni, so check back every day for more ideas. If you have a particular kid that you’d like a gift idea for, leave the details in the comments!
