I am wanting to get my 17 month old nephew Clipos http://www.hasbro.com/playskool/clipo/
I also want to find my mom a digital photo frame. :-) and to buy my little sisters child digital cameras. :-) I pretty much have at least something for everyone else Dad,older sister,brother in-law,Nanny(AKA grandma),and some other stuff for my little sisters and nephew. :-) I also had some questions.

I was curious do you think an MP3 player would be good for a 9 year old? (She tends to lose stuff and they run like $50 or cheaper we could get songs on Frostwire but I'm not sure if that would have Disney songs such as Hannah Montana etc. What do you guys think? (I bought sets of $7 birthstone jewelry so if the kids lose them it's no big deal.) So I'm not sure on an expensive item like an MP3. :-) Also perhaps any toy ideas for a creative child? (one of them loves play dough etc. but with the nephew small pieces including PlayDough are hard to have around. :-( (We have a magnet ball/rod thingy but with small Yorkies/nephew it's rarely played with I got it as a kid. :-)

Isn't she a bit too young for an MP3 player? When would she really listen to it? When she's walking to school, crossing the road and failing to hear that car about to hit her? Seriously now, would she be better off with a "Hannah Montana" CD (and a CD-player) or a wee dolly perhaps?

How about one of those make-your-own removable window sticker sets?

I actually wish i had more people to give gifts to for christmas,
the latest years it has only been a couple of gifts, if that :cry:
would be more fun if there was more - usually when buying
gifts i snoop around and get something they wish they had/wish for.
Or theres cash, thats always a winner, get what you want.
My cats get some fish treat-thingys, a pack each, packed with ribbon
and all and they have to open them themselfes And the deer
that usually passes by gets a couple of cases with bread and fruit and stuff
If possible, i try to give gifts without signing a name or anything, i really
dont like the attention that often comes with giving gifts, its very uncomfortable,
when i know they recive it and its something that person wants, then i`m
done with it there in a way, dont like hearing more about it afterwards.
