Gift Suggestions for Christmas: Please remember that the kids live in small apartments and we are trying to gift all children equally so no large toys (nothing bigger than a microwave). Good rules are: nothing with a strong smell, nothing with tons of tiny parts, nothing that requires expensive refills, nothing dangerous and nothing seasonal or religious. Remember, nobody wants to wear a Christmas sweater in February. Good have to be new but if you have already have new in package items at home, this is a great way to regift without guilt.
