These are all great ideas. <BR/><BR/>My daughter already asked the little boy himself what he wanted and he shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know.

That pretty much leaves anything I can buy at Wal-Mart! Or, like Afro said, on the square here near my place of business. <BR/><BR/>Again, thanks so much guys for all the feedback.<BR/><BR/>My daughter was so excited when I told her I was going to blog about this.
