Start your journey of fingerling

Buying a toy as a gift for someone else's child is always a funny thing. We want to buy something useful but we also want to be sure we are pleasing the recipient. Typically educational toys are the ones we feel we get good value from. But play toys like action and adventure toys, stuffed toys, cars and dolls are usually what the children's favorites are. So how do you choose?

In my humble opinion, you do not choose. You settle for gifting both! It's always nicer to have two relatively less expensive gifts than to have one more expensive one that the kid never touches. Moreover, since the parents (your friend or relative) would like their kids to spend time with the educational toy they will be as gratified by your gift as the kids themselves will be.

Choosing educational toys is easy. You can look at some great categories that start with art and craft things and move over to building and construction toys, electronics, hobbies, music and puzzles. Choosing play toys is of course obvious. Barbie and TV characters rule. And you can't go wrong with Harry Potter.

Now I was on a mission to personalize toys for the other three birthday parties we have to go to. My niece who is turning two is a bit tricky for me. I decided that a step stool would be nice. This is the year of independence and she is going to be learning to potty train, help in the kitchen and start to want to reach her toys on her own. I purchased a sturdy wood stool from our local handyman. I happened to know that this is a special design he makes strictly for smaller children for sturdiness. It is perfect. It has two steps and is extremely stable and light enough for her to carry around on her own.

To personalize it I took the colors from her new big girl bed spread and started to paint it. As I was painting it I thought of all of the adventures she likes to have. Her parents are avid hikers so I made sure to include some girlie hiking boots. She loves to get her nails done so I painted her getting a manicure. I wanted to make sure it was something she could use as she got older so I decided not to paint cartoons and princess which she might like today but not tomorrow. I finished the project with several coats of gloss and added non slip tape to the steps and voila a beautiful personalized children's birthday gift.
