Lately, I’ve had to buy lots of gifts for children and have found it really hard to come up with stuff for boys, while it is just to easy to find gifts for girls, as the choices and variety of stuff available is just amazing. We’ve had several birthdays for kids in the neighborhood and its been a completely different experience shopping for gifts for children. I remember when I used to work for a children’s wear retailer, I spent a lot of time, mentally buying things for all the kinds I knew as a sort of exercise in understanding what would be perfect for whom and so on.
