American birthday gifts

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Alright, ladies. I need your help. My mom wants to know what Butterbaby "wants" for his birthday. We have sooooo many goddamn toys, but that's not stopping my mom.

What's something maybe only available in America that's not huge and won't get tossed under the wheels of a tractor in a fit of annoyance?

I seriously have no ideas.

maybe something from the new skip hop collection? like this? www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Alphabet-Rock-Stack/dp/B008VWY3SE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=DSCFCGONNF45&coliid=I21WWMP78A3OC6

Radio Flyer wagon? The shipping would be a bitch though....

Books. I always send my friends in Europe kids books, and many of our "standards" are ones they don't have. (Pat the bunny, Goodnight moon, etc.)

That's all I've got right now....

I agree with books. I often get kids the Llama Llama books. My favorites are Red Pajama, Misses Mama and Mad at Mama.

My cousin was stationed over here a few years ago, so we got to use his APO address and we ordered a Radio Flyer trike and ATV wagon for H.

Man, she got all the good shit and poor Butters is getting stick with her hand-me-downs.

Lol @ mad at mama. That's how H feels a lot. She's going through early puberty.

That looks good!

I'm in the same boat. I'm making a wish list on amazon.uk and sending it to the grandparents, that way they don't have to pay for shipping twice and they have a more specific set of choices.

As for actual items, is your mom's heart set on gifting toys? Alex has some CD's of kids music and wooden puzzles on his list, as well as a ton of books.

PS/ I'm going through the same issues with my sister's kids. I don't know what to get little brother for his birthday cause big sister already handed down so much stuff! I'm going with books and a shirt. Can't have too many books!
