With my two nephews and niece, I find myself doing a lot more shopping online lately, particularly for toys and clothing.  So, I wanted to share a recommendation or two that I thought would be helpful.

First, I absolutely love this online toy store.  They have almost every kids character you could possibly imagine – Noddy, Ben 10, Strawberry Shortcake, Barney, Yo Gabba Gabba, the Wiggles, Doodlebops, Curious George and many, many more.  I bought a playhut off this site, and my nephew is in love with it!  It’s like his own personal fort that he can imagine any kind of game in it he wants.  Of course, we used to just put blankets over chairs, but hey, that was then.  So, check out Ty’stoybox.  They also have a huge selection of personalized clothing, which is adorable.

Speaking of personalized, this site is fantastic for gifts.  They create music with all your kids favorite characters that actually sing your child’s name!  What’s great about the site is that you can hear a sample before you buy, so you know it doesn’t sound like some strange computer in the middle of a song.  I bought my niece some personalized Minnie music, and she loves it!

So, maybe in the middle of a recession, I shouldn’t be spending like I am, but I can’t help.  And hey, it’s spending that will help get us out.  I just heard on Hannity say that the president’s approval level just dropped below 50%, so hooray!  Down with socialism!
