They are a wonderful organization that I chose for my professional insurance association NAIFA to sponsor. This is our second year and I am in charge of the project.
Anyhow, Wal-Mart is out of control this time of year and in more ways than one.
I do not want to get political so I won't.
However, I will mention a little beef I have with buying toys.
You see, in looking for a Princess Scooter for the 4 year old girl in the family we are giving to...I found something I personally want if I could fit in it.
John Deere Kids Truck
However, I feel like I am little too big.
I REALLY want one of these.....for my farm! (this is the real deal)
However, this is almost $10,000 so I am going to have to wait for this.
I imagine myself tending to my garden and taking my husband for a ride on it. HA.
Let me get back to my Wal-Mart trip.
The John Deere truck for kids was $350!
That seems a little high to me. Plus it is something the child will outgrow.
I am thinking that spending $300 on a Wii makes a lot more sense than paying $300+ for a toy that the child can outgrow.
I have always the thought the Wii craze was a little outrageous but now it is making more and more sense.
What do you think?
A Wii (electronic device) or a Toy that the child will outgrow?
What do you think?
Is it a waste or is it all about the experience for the child?
I an not saying that gifts from Grandma and Grandpa would not be accepted, but as a parent I am not sure I would buy this.
For the record,
I say this now, but all bets are off once I become a parent.
PEACE,
KHAK
