Nonad

it sounds so exciting that noones been able to post a reply! :-4

so what pressie you thinking of getting? how old is he?

I already got back from my shopping, Nomad...................beat you to the sales tables!

Tell us what you get your nephew!

Hes 4. Some might think hey thats right up my alley but in truth I dont know what 4 yr olds like. I cant really get into that 4 yr old frame of mind right now. I used to like starting fires. Maybe Ill get him some matches.

No no no. No matches until he is at least 4 1/2. May I suggest a nice noisy toy to drive his parents insane?:sneaky:

Yes...something to drive my sister kooky. Drums ?

Oh, something noisey indeed, to drive your sister crazy. One of those kids musical guitars-you push the buttons, they play those silly songs over and over again-it will drive her up the wall. You can pretend innocence, by trying to motivate him to study music.............................:wah:

Loud clanky stuff. Ok. Im picking up what your laying down. Im on it.

A good old fashioned Jig Saw puzzle....keeps the kids happy for hours

The most annoying toy a family member ever received was my nephew-my darling older brother got him a Snoopy Bugle-just played a nice rat-a-tat-tat version of taps. Over, and over, again. My nephew played it every morning to wake my sister up, drove her up a wall! Go find something nice and loud, kids love it! You'll laugh all day about it, and wait until your sister gives you the look when the present is opened.....................:wah:

Yeahhh ... The one that makes noises like a machine gun and squirts water as well..

That is a nice idea Floppy, we used to get savings bonds as kids. But the lawn mower idea, that is great! Go for the drum set!

LOL Snooze. The idea here is to make the parents suffer, not the kid too!

Seriously nomad, didn't they just adopt him this year? A really cool gift, that you can get realatively cheap is a savings bond. You get one of those, in addition to the toy, for all the gift giving occassions. By time he's ready for college, there is a nice sum of money accumulated.

When I started doing it for my granddaughter, I had to have her name and social security number as owner, with the parent as beneficiary, but that has changed I think.



Just an idea.


Thats my step sis foopy my real sis has 4 of her own and I take my uncle duties serious, hes also our godson.

Well? What did you end up buying?

A thing that he draws on and it lights up. Its kinda hard when I get in the toy section theres too many distractions.
