I'm just another working mom seeking a few moments of Zen and zinfandel between soccer practice and supper. My former beach bartender husband founded MouseCalls Computer Services here in Nashville. I believe laughter is the best medicine, especially when regularly administered with a good glass of wine, or three. Email me at blondemomblog@gmail.com

    Those toys brought back so many fond memories! I haven’t decided what to get our children yet. I bet they’d love the sea monkeys.

    Sock monkey SLIPPERS! Love them.

    I am big on the clothing sale/resale shops this Christmas. My kids are going to learn what it’s like to have a “surprise” Christmas. i.e. “Who knows what we’ll get cuz Mom’s wallet is empty!”

    Sea monkeys were a real hit with our kids previously, just don’t let them die!
    I think the playdoh is a great simple gift for younger children as its heaps of fun to get messy with, and your kid’s mind is improved by being more creative. I like it anyway :)
    Thanks for the update too! ..

    My kids always love slinkys & really giant drawing paper. Sometimes I get a roll of butcher paper – cover the kitchen table & let them have at it. On the other hand DO NOT buy the crazy horse toy – I am ashamed & reluctant to admit owing to twins & grandparents that we actually own two. Butterscotch(es) promptly joined the ranks of the other overpriced, 5 mins of fame toys. Plus they r huge and somewhat spooky- they respond to sound so they turn their heads in response to tv or pets . Have I mentioned before I have 5 pets? The horseys were very busy & our dogs and cats r terrified of them -LOL.

    Thanks for all of the great and affordable gift ideas! Those really brought back childhood memories, especially the Sea Monkeys. I insisted that we bring my sea monkeys on a road trip from Boston to Florida when I was a kid—man, was that not a fun mess to clean up when we hit a giant bump! LOL

    These toys also inspire the child’s fundamental learning growth because they nurture to creativity and imagination.

    I love gifts like that…no Dora, no Spongebob. Just a cool toy you can use your imagination with. Of course if I give stuff like to my kids they look at me like I have lobsters crawling out of my ears.

    These are all excellent gift ideas! I know of some people older than the average age group that would love to have some of these beauties. Thanks for the awesome suggestions!

    K’NEX has a great line of Sesame Street building sets all for about $20 or less, perfect for the little ones. I like toys that are constructive and educational. Also, after 40 years, Sesame Street is definitely nostalgic! I grew up with it, and I want my kids to as well.

    K’NEX is also giving away ten sets of tickets to Sesame Place. All that is required to enter is an email address:
