Gift Ideas - Dallas,TX

I just got my boys a new toy that I think would work for either a boy or girl. It's called a kididoodle by VTech. For $30 you get two handheld devices. They can draw on them, select ecards or play games on them. The cool part about it is that they play each other and send the "emails" to each other. A friend recommended this to me and her boys love it and now my boys love it too.

Another idea is that most kids like Webkinz by that age. I'd say most girls like them and a lot of boys do. My older son, who NEVER showed and interest in stuffed animals LOVES his.

For girls Groovy Girls seem to be a hit, especially the horse. Of course a lot of them like the Pet Shop toys.

My daughter is 5 and received movie tickets from a friend. She really enjoyed picking out her favorite kid movies. You could get 2-3 kid tickets for under 20.00.

My kids (ages 5 girl and age 8 boy) love getting gift cards so they can go shopping and actually buy something out of the ordinary. This way I can't say NO we don't have the money for that :0) LOL

My little boy JUST turned 5...one thing he got that he LOVES is his very own alarm clock.....he's starting Kindergarten and is now soooooo excited to get to wake up for school with his OWN alarm clock....he feels very grown-up....lol...Just an idea for something a little different...Also, anything remote controlled...like a car or truck....Also..I know it seems kind of "unpersonable" but he REALLY likes getting gift cards because he likes to pick out his toy and then "pay for it" himself...haa....Can't help with the 6 year old girl...but I think they are into High School Musical stuff!!!! Good luck and have fun!!!! :-)
