The argument can be made that you’ve already give him or her the biggest gift you can gave anyone anyway. (No, not a “starter marriage,” but the child for those of you still guessing.) More

It always happens. There’s one child that you barely know anything about, but you suddenly have to buy a gift for. It’s a cousin’s child that lives in another state. It’s a dance class Secret Santa with a kid that you couldn’t pick out of a line-up. It’s your friend’s child that you don’t see very often and who is somewhere between the ages of six and ten.
Well don’t worry. Mommyish to the rescue. More

The other week I went to buy loot bags for my son’s birthday party and was looking for something in the $5 range that didn’t involve a series of crappy dollar-store items (hate that!). Anyway, the woman at my local toy store told me that old-school “Jacks” are making a comeback (you know, that playground game with small metal ‘jacks’ and rubber ball that you used to play as a child). I was totally into it – brought back such memories – and figured that if the kids don’t like it, at least their parents will!
I’ve since noticed a whole whack of “retro” gifts both online and on store shelves – everything from Rubik’s Cubes to Slinkys. The nostalgia factor is huge, but it’s also pretty cool to know that our own children might enjoy some of the awesome toys that we grew up with. Of course, many of the “classics” have received a modern upgrade, including the popular Lite-Brite, which is now an app (!).

Let’s face it, to fact-paced teenagers, Harry Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games are already classics. They’re just sitting on the shelf next to Narnia by now. These may be the most popular franchises for teens out there, but avid readers have probably made it through these series at least a dozen times already. They’re looking for new, exciting, soon-to-be explosive books to sink their teeth into. More
