I think that they kits you can buy at Target or Wal-Mart where you can impring their hands or feet is alway nice. If you're the God mother a cross or crucifix for his room would be nice and a safe route to go, or to give in addition to one of these other gifts is a savings bond.  Try also getting a nice blanket embroidered with his name on it.

How old? Teach addition properly. Specially addition of same numbers repeatedly. It would make him understand multiplication. Give him sticks(match box, ear buds, tooth picks) and ask to give equally to friends, parents etc. Let the concept come in his own way. You are just to help not to stress. With thread/rubber band you may make 'tens' bundle with tying 10 sticks together. And show how 1 n 1 makes 11. Just some confusion is to be cleared. I think 1 week is enough. Be patient have patience.

If he's a country boy, chances are he's a hunter. Buy some hunting equipment (or fishing, if he likes that, too). For example, buy a thermos or chair for his hunting stand. Maybe even a flashlight, if he needs one. If he has an ATV, buy ATV accessories. For example, maybe some riding gloves. Or if he's kinda like me and into computers and electronics, buy certain software (antivirus software or games) that's well within your budget. It's kinda hard to help you more, but you must specify your budget. It might help if you add a little more information, as well. The items I have listed should be around 30 bucks or less.

Go to disney.go.com and to "playhouse". It will teach him his letters, numbers,and read him stories, etc. Also try pbskids.org. Another good one is nickjr.com. Good luck!

how about:  a savings bond... saying this is for his future..\n\nHow about a gift certificate... to a place that has baby stuff, like clothes or toys\n\nHow about a photo album... so they can start to put pictures of the kid.

At a year and a half I doubt he'll notice if his gifts were bought or made, so you may want to consider making gifts for your son. If you can sew, soft toys or a simple blankie would probably become very beloved.  Knitting or crocheting can also make wonderful soft items for small kids.\nAs for sure-fire crafts, even gifted craftspeople can have trouble marketing thier wares and frankly, it's very time consuming to do that.  \nRemember, it's the thought that counts!

that depends on who he is. i suggest a card. maybe a cute stuffed animal. a new hat. a T shirt that says something funny.

there are tons of craft bazaars going on this time of year.  maybe bake some treats and sell them.  trust me, at 1.5 years old they still don't get christmas.  even if he only has 3-4 small things to open he'll be thrilled!!!  good luck!

Flash cards are good, as well as games.  Reading to your child and speaking to him with normal language, not baby talk will help as well.  I also recommend exposing him to as many experiences as possible (field trips I guess you could say).  Children who have access to different environments pick up on new skills and tend to do well in school later on.  Also, if you are considering child care, look carefully at the business you will be intrusting his early education in.  Some daycares don't do a good job at fostering speech and early reading skills.  Ask if they follow a curriculum and ask them if they can explain what they will be working with him on.

Wow, that's tough... and I haven't looked at your other ones yet.\n\nYou're right for not backing down.  If he wants to get the COOL one, he can GET the COOL one.... in absolutely no less than one year.  The fact that you agreed to a similar, age-appropriate toy should be enough to sate him, but it sounds like he's just being a butt.\nUnfortunately, the only thing I can tell you about situations like THE CARD, is that it's best to remind yourself that you're not the a$$hole, and if he wants to play these games, that's his choice.  I wish I could give you some communication tips, but without having seen it all, I can't really stick my nose in the middle of it, you know?  \nThe fact is, he is WRONG, and it really sounds like he needs to learn to see his faults and take some ownership.  Another bad thing about it is that all that is TOTALLY on him, and there is nothing that you can say or do to make him own up to THAT simple fact unless he is willing to see it HIMSELF.\nYou know what I think?  I say LET him get the card, and YOU go buy the 12-36mo Power Wheels.  That is, if you want to be a little vindictive.  If you'd like to appear MORE MATURE about it, you may opt for a couple REALLY COOL (electronic) educational toys.  I think I'd go that route for a 1yo, anyway.

yep, just did...that's tough, get the poor little guy some counseling, medical attention, and beat the s_it out of that day care provider, or send him/her to Tx and we'll take care of it free of charge!  seriously, give him lots of hugs and kisses, and take him to do something fun!

if your child doesnt have them already, ask you optician to add cable temples to the frame to hold them in place. also try praising him or her for wearing them. other than that there is not much you can do to reason with a two year old. eventually kids get used to it.

Get him somethig that interests him(ex:cars - music CD,car magazines,tunning parts etc).Even if the present doesn't have any use for him,try to make him understand that you took some time to pick it and it's the gesture that counts.P.S.:do take some time to gather information in boy stuff,you probably screw up with a pink set of neons for his car :)).Good luck to you!
