sj, does he have an ipod or laptop? He might like itunes gift certificates. OR a gift card for his favorite pizza place? I always liked cool markers and notebooks but I'm not sure if that's a girl-thing. Or, how about movie tickets?
Good ideas. I don't think he has an iPod or a laptop. I'll have to ask T. Movie tickets might be good. I always took him to the movies when he lived here. I usually would get him pencils, notebooks, markers, etc., but I am not sure if he is at the right age to think that's cool anymore.
jilli - your ring sounds both lovely and original.
Oooh, my Moo mini cards came in today! I got 100 cards with pictures of the kids on them and my name/email/mobile phone on them.
I'm hoping they're useful for parent-networking. Plus, they're cute!
I saw something on TV recently that a local woman is making "tottoos" - stickers you put on your kids' hands and it says "if lost please call" and a place to write your phone number. It's seemingly useful for when you have a bunch of young children going someplace - like a field trip - and someone wanders a bit.
Plus, they're cute!
Heh. Cool. I've still not fallen to the moo. My idea is considerably less useful, but that doesn't mean they can't be infinitely amusing.
In other news, Gonzales has resigned as attorney general. If it hasn't been posted.
Back to school news: The first laptop of the year has been stolen. The student left it in the library, conveniently zipped up in its leather carrying case, and went to an interview. When she came back an hour later it was gone.
She says it's our fault, but I am not impressed by her argument.

Seriously? She expected it to still be there?
Well, she's a student - aren't you supposed to look after her valuables when she leaves them lying around? (bet she'd say the same thing if she walked off and left the keys in her car's ignition)
She is not very bright, is she?
