Christmas Update

WOW! Christmas came and went SO fast! I think people spend more time preparing than acually celebrating! :) I hope you had a good Christmas, Hannukah (I hope I spelled that right), Kwanza or whatever you celebrate :). I got lots of cool stuff and I'm very grateful. I now have an iPod touch and some more cool clothes and CDs. I gave my 2-year-old sister, Abbie, my old wallet with a cute little dog on the front. Very sweet! On the other hand, Abbie got some new Strawberry Shortcake DVDs that are about as sickly sweet as a pile of rotten bananas. At least they keep her quiet for a while. Thank you for supporting Emmels World and Danielle, if you are reading this, the bananas did not get through to me. Abbie already got the banana in her stocking anyways, so don't worry. Thank you.

Christmas Shopping Guide

You might be a parent, grandma, friend, it doesn't matter. You are reading this because you want to get a gift for Christmas for a special person in your life and you have no clue what to get them. Read this and you'll have an idea.

Baby
For a baby, you could get them a cute outfit. Another good idea is a plush toy or stuffed animal. A baby also might like a book with flaps or fabric to feel. They like different textures.

Toddler
A toddler might want a toy with wheels to pull around, since they had started walking. Also, they might like toys that roll or make noise. Books that read themselves are good for them, too. They keep them interested.

Young Kid (2-3)
A young kid might want something with a character from a TV show on it, such as a Dora purse or Barney stuffed animals. Boys might like a toy car, a girl might opt for a doll.

Preschooler- Kindergartener
Boys and girls might like paints and crayons. boys can be found playing with action figures, while girls might like dolls with hair they can style and plastic make-up.

1st Grade-2nd Grade
Girls want things they can make, such as beads for bracalets or glitter stickers to decorate their school supplies. Boys might like little collectible toys or cards to trade with friends.

3rd-5th Grade
Girls like pajamas, notebooks, and accessories.  Boys want skateboards, ripsticks, bikes, scooters, and any accessories for them.

Middle Schoolers
Boys and girls want gift cards to stores or, if they have an iPod, a gift card to iTunes. Cellphone cases are popular.

High Schoolers
They want money, because they feel responsible enough to spend it usefully, and they might want to shop with friends.

Collage+
Decorative things or candles for women, men might like tickets to a sports event, Nascar race, or monster truck rally.
