stocking stuffers

[csgray]

Got both boys' teddy bears at Hilo Hatties,they were the best bears I could find here, but I am looking for the kind of small sturdy toys I bought for the girls' stockings, things like the little plastic button operated helicopter we got my oldest daughter that still worked 25 years later when we sold it at our moving to Hawaii garage sale.

We also gave a lot of model farm animals and tractors, wind up toys like little animals/bugs/fish/aliens or vehicles that you could wind up and chase all over the house. I have to fall back on plastic toys because everyone in the family had amazon ship the kids' presents to me and I am flying with it all using the one free check in bag you get when flying to Mexico, got to keep it under 40 pounds. I raised two amazing girls, who thank the heavens were not little pink princesses, but little boys are a whole new adventure for me. Their Dad is a mechanical engineer who works about 80 hours a week, so stuff he can do with the kids when he isn't working is a bonus, the block set last year was a big hit.
