Presents For The Holiday

by Natalie Akpele

I think I have talked to just about all of my friends who nanny today about what they have gotten or will be getting for their charges for Christmas or Hanukkah this year.

A few of us have waited until the very last possible second to buy something for them — yes, I fall into the last minute category!!

I honestly was not sure what to get the girls for Christmas. They have everything their little heart could possibly desire, so its extremely difficult to shop for them. And it doesn’t help that their list of tiny demands were covered my their parents and grandparents. I mean, they could have saved me one little gift of the girls list to help me out…lol!

But that didn’t happen. I was forced to really have to think about what the girls might like — which has not been easy I might add.

As I sat here tonight talking to my best friend, I was racking my brain trying to figure out what in the world I could possibly get them. I didn’t want to do anymore dolls because have PLENTY of those. Then I thought I would get them both some more art supplies but again they have enough to last them a life time. I also thought about getting them both an educational toys but those are the toys that are least played with in the house.

But then it hit me….I knew exactly what to get them for Christmas. I decided to buy them a set of walkie talkies and here is why.

A few weeks back, they had a play date with a few of their friends. I can’t remember exactly what they were playing but what I do remember was the girls looking for a set of lego walkie talkies. They ended up having to pretend they had walkie talkies that day which was fine with them.

So, this Christmas I will make their little walkie talkie dreams come true. :-)

What are you getting your charge(s) for the holidays this year? Do you think they will enjoy it?
