 It's awesome.  My kids were a snap this year, but they're old. The guy I'm dating is sort of a challenge for me. It hasn't been all that long, but I have to get him something. For his birthday in October I got him a huge cookbook I knew he wanted. Was thinking of springboarding off of that and putting together a basket with some cool cooking gadgets, fresh pasta in unusual flavors and sauces from a little shop that just opened downtown, and maybe a good bottle of bourbon.

We love our snap circuits. I bought a big set when they were the December Jesus some years back. I also used them this summer for my STEM focused summer reading program when we did wiring. I found a big bonus box of them at goodwill a couple months ago for $1.99. I about lost my mind when I saw this guy looking at them and he walked away with them tucked under his arm. I stalked him through the store and he set them down and left. Hahahaha sucka! Those snap circuits are MINE. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| Yes, Again | Snap circuits are so much fun. I just wish any one of my kids was bothered by clutter in their bedrooms. |

Linus is my new challenge. He asked for Snap Circuits and a watch. If I get him more than those things he might actually be mad. Last year, by January, he had given Deirdre every one of his gifts.He likes very few things and hates having a lot of stuff. His bedroom is like a ascetic's cell--bed, nightstand, dresser, desk. No shelves, no toys, no nothing. He has a mirror and a calendar on his walls, and no other decoration. I'm getting him an under-the-bed Rubbermaid box for the Snap Circuits, so he doesn't have to look at them. |

N (12) and my parents are my tough ones this year. We just settled on tickets to Annie this spring for N (along with a Lego set, clothes, and books). My parents buy whatever they want or need. We're going to Disney with them in April so I've been thinking of one of the behind the scene tours for them. Beyond that I have no ideas for them. |

Just from being at most of the middle school activities I can tell you majority of kids have iphones or the samsung s5 or s6. Em does so much besides talk and text that its combining one of her beloved items into a two-fer. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I got him some new pajamas and some tshirts, but I do that every year. I want to get him something that he either really wants, or would love if he thought about it. I just don't know WHAT. Although, he's an artist. Maybe some paints or other art supplies? I'm art-challenged so I have no idea. :sigh |

I expect this to be the hit for my 11 year old. She's getting an iphone, but how fun is a polaroid camera you take a pic with and get it instantly? Just for my curiosity, is she getting a new iphone? |
