With all the recent recalls on toys, how is Christmas going to be this year?
Do you suppose it will be the “Christmas to end all Christmasses” as far as sales for toy companies? [or insert other gifting holiday/birthday] You know, safe new toys to replace all the ones that were dangerous and had to be taken away?
Or is it more likely that this holiday season/next birthday will have folks stay away from toy-toys and do stuff like homemade toys, clothing, books, or other “toy” alternatives?
Just wondering what the rest of the country thinks the gift-trading will be like for the younger ones.
I work in retail and people are still buying toys like crazy. Not me…if it’s made in China, I’m not buying it. I already told my and my husband’s family the same thing. I’m buying mostly snacks, juice boxes, books, and clothes. My daughter loves books anyway and would rather sit on a mountain of them and play than play with toys anyway.

What digital camera should I buy under $ 150?
I decide to buy a digital camera. I guess 8 MP 10 MP is great and is even better, but not worth the extra money. I like to have AA and I also like adding a hand grip on one side of the camera. I like lithium, so I'm open to both. I really like the next camera, but let me know what you think and if you have a favorite. Canon A590IS – $ 110 at BestBuy right now. Also I have a gift card for $ 70 there, so I think that's where I buy my camera. Let me know what you think and your ideas. Thank you.
I recommend canon A480 to

Appropriate thank you gift for getting Christmas day off?
I’ve only been at my job for 7months (I’m a nurse). The staffing coordinator gave me Christmas Eve and Christmas day off. The rule is the low man on the totem pole gets all the holidays and then after that you’re supposed to get every other year off. What is an appropriate thank you gift that I can fit in my purse (so that nobody will see) to give to her. She deliberately gave me the day off. Another employee decided she wanted to work that day, and there are many, many other nurses that she could have given the day off to but she gave it to me. Ideas please.
PS: Keep in mind, I have six kids. three of which are under the age of 12.
Maybe you could give her a small box of chocolate, with a card explaining how much it means to you to have this time off to spend with your family.
Also, she was probably rewarding you for being such a good employee and not expecting any favors, which makes her job a lot easier. You can also show your appreciation by continuing to do a good job.
