"choosing" gifts for kids
Hi
Personally I think it's ok to say your gift preferences. But it depends on who is the guest as well. If its a close family member, I would be more direct. If it's just an acquaintance, I would be more tactful. Best Regards Gary Hendricks www.baby-product-guide.com "Sophie" wrote in message ... "Denise~*" wrote in message ...

(Happened with a Sit N Spin.) A Sit N Spin with batteries? Now I'm REALLY liking my $1.00 garage sale Sit N Spin purchase. Denise, Brian & Wyatt (May 31, 02) It lights up *and* plays music. Yes, I know :0 |

"choosing" gifts for kids
It's far easier
to accept the gift graciously, and then after the party put it away. This also teaches DD/DS that not all gifts are what you really want, and that it is important to express delight when you get a gift, even if the delight is fake. I could not agree more! Life is not perfect and dissapointment is something that we cannot avoid! And teaching them good social skills is also a MUST. |
