Mega Thread The Questions Thread - Part II

So my cousins kid is turning one this Sunday, and I'm looking for a gift.

What should I get? I feel like cuddly toys would be overdone and they'd have a ton of it.

What about a book? Do kids get read to at the age of 1?

Too young for a book.

Just dont get anything noisy or you will piss the parents off

 

[gaskin]

Nothing wrong with getting books now for when the parents want to start reading to it.

A gun

A gun

I doubt the kid lives in America that it'll need a gun to protect them from Trump.

Get them "Oh the Places You Will Go" by Dr. Seuss. It's my go-to 1 year old bday present. It's a great book and they'll keep it forever.

I had to do this recently, and ended up at Targe boutique buying a plastic monkey which rolls, and lights up, it was a big success with the child I might add, and her father who should probably know better. A book is usually my go to gift, but for a one year old the choice is pretty limited, unless you want to pony up some decent money for a nice hard back book of fairy tales, or a nice edition of a classic.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Yeah, a classic book or even something to help build dexterity (building block set etc). Bath toys are good too. I remember one of our boys got one of those nylon tunnels that fold up. They had fun with that. Ikea sell them.

But, yeah, they'll probably prefer just playing with a balloon or something.

Parents should read to their kids everyday to develop strong literacy skills. I'd recommend The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and Where Is The Green Sheep by Mem Fox.

 

[Quivorir]

Yeah my kid loves where is the green sheep. Well, she just loved reading now, but green sheep was a big one.

Anybody know what the Asians (pretty sure Chinese) do at Fitzroy Gardens, the Landsdowne St side, opposite Treasury Gardens, towards Wellington Pde? They are there every day, and have a massive banner thing that says FALUN DAFA and some Chinese writing, which I assume says the same thing. They have a table with brochures, there are usually 4 or 5of them. And sometimes they do what looks to be Tai Chi. I figure they're like a Chinese information centre kinda thing but I have no way of knowing.

TheFreshBanana or peternorth can you shed any light?

[Cruyff14]

Oh. Right.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Yeah I wouldn't have much idea, but that seems right.

I've gone past fitzroy gardens a few times in the morning and have seen the same thing.

 

[Quivorir]

Anyone here use a fitbit? Wifes Birthday tomorrow and she wants one. Whats a good one?

Result! A present that's both easy to get, and you don't have to think about.

Would love to work as a casual there. Mind providing a link to the job?

Fitbit Charge HR, I think is what it's called.

Be careful of doing the dishes with them... I have a feeling that's how mine broke.

Gough will point you in the direction of some dodgy monkey thing

Would you prefer 2 be alone with $1 million

No money/assets but have family

Well you can buy happiness with money and you can get sick of your family. So I'd take the money.

Can a know-it-all mother please answer this question: why do little boys constantly scream?
