Let's teach our chldren!<br />Art, Legos are the best. Period.<br />Steve, I really like you. <br />Ice Man, our good friends came to dinner a few weeks ago (they do not have children) and brought our oldest the board game Battleship. He LOVES it. I played with him the next day and he beat me. He played his father the day after that and beat him, too. He thinks it is a GREAT game!! Each child is different.Chief 187https://www.blogger.com/profile/09485730643132355212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-23796151205004744592010-11-18T17:18:19.994-05:002010-11-18T17:18:19.994-05:00Last year I gave my godson a battleship board game...Last year I gave my godson a battleship board game for xmas, he looked at it and asked me, whats a board game? He's 15 and into video games so I thought it would be a change of pace from the video games. I would have loved to have that gift back in the day. To this day hee hasn't played with it. I guess I'm old fashion.Ice Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477466913292046992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-44729213782487941292010-11-18T09:04:43.606-05:002010-11-18T09:04:43.606-05:00You share a lot of great ideas!
In recent years, ...You share a lot of great ideas!<br /><br />In recent years, I have found gifting more difficult. There is so much instant gratification these days. Rarely do I know anyone who waits and anticipates a want or need being fulfilled at Christmas,. They often get whatever it is, whenever they want it throughout the year.<br /><br />Buying for older adults is tricky. They just don't need more "stuff." Books are often a good idea for them. And, I like to think of consumables for Mary's and my parents (all in their 80s). Last year, I gave my parents an assortment of locally produced beef. How weird is that? And, I usually give them a Page-A-Day Cat Calendar from amazon.<br /><br />Dish towels that actually DRY dishes. I know where you're coming from.Steve Arnaudinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17766429959774263559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-7358300149623664492010-11-18T08:11:03.241-05:002010-11-18T08:11:03.241-05:00You can't go wrong with Lego I was round a fri...You can't go wrong with Lego I was round a friends recently and her child was playing with 60's era lego bricks I recognised from my own childhood, happy as a lark he was :-) You can make lovely bridges using Lego to.Art Tidescohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680781189400367930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-41221945013664108062010-11-18T05:54:07.156-05:002010-11-18T05:54:07.156-05:00Bridge?
