Sixty Eight Mate (Part 2)
Perfect toy for an 8-10 year old girl?
Hey I’m looking for gifts for a women’s shelter for kids. Apparently they have a lot of kids coming and going with their mothers that have nothing to do. My age group is 8-10. I already have a gift for boys, but I need something for girls. Any suggestions? I live in an area where there would be hispanic people staying at the shelter, so I think Hannah Montanna anything wouldn’t be a great idea. Help!? Should be like a doll or something small that different children can use.
Children in a women’s shelter are under a great deal of stress. Soft stuffed toys they can cuddle are great. Also, very good would be coloring books, and crayons, or markers. Coloring is a proven stress reliever. Very good for children in that situation.

Newborn Christmas gift?
My newborn has it all. She has more outfits then the eye can see, some shoes, booties,blankets galore. I want to get her some things for christmas but not sure what toys are suitable for a newborn. She has enough necessities so i dout i will buy her any clothing maybe 1-3 outfits at most. She has a brand new travel system, crib, pack n play, highchair. So we wont be needing any of those. She also has tons of stuffed bears and dolls. I dont want to buy 1 huge gift but rather a few small ones to put under the tree with her name on it. I dont go out much so i do most of my shopping on ebay or walmart, and somtimes the local sears or JCPennys, and even khols. Can any one give me some advice on some practical gift for my newborn? It would help so much since december 1st is right around the corner. I dont like mobiles too much so I think i’ll throw them off the list. She has a new winter snowsuit. I’m just so lost and confused on what to buy her. Thanks a ton everyone! – Angel Lynn’s Mommy
