That leaves you with two options. You could return gift to mega store or maul-er, mall. You would join thousands of your neighbors with same idea, all of whom are cramming into your local stores and cash register lines to return their unwanted gifts. Then you would also have to face thousands of bargain shoppers out there looking for those post-Christmas specials, a rush that lasts well through January. What's worse, some stores won't let you return goods if you don't have original credit card or receipt. That means you could at best be left with gift cards with expiration dates at stores that you may not like. At worst, you could be stuck with your gift, not knowing what to do with it. Now you're seeing light. No, it's not light from inflatable 12-foot Santa Claus and reindeer on your neighbor's front lawn. It's light from your computer monitor: Internet. Today's Web can link you with someone who will think Uncle Mortie's gift is a precious treasure. This person, whether they're in Peoria or Pawtucket, North Carolina or North Pole, is willing to pay good money for it. Classified Internet sites can link you to this person faster than it would take you to stow sushi set up in your attic.

What's more, they allow you to negotiate price directly with your buyer and plan shipping arrangements, all with privacy and precision in mind. You'll end up with cash to buy that special something you really wanted. Your buyer will be pleased with Uncle Mortie's gift. Uncle Mortie, well, he'll be glad gift he gave you, doesn't just sit in attic.

• Child’s gender – This is exactly what I said above that my parents bought me toys that I considered to be girlish. I’m a boy, but same is with girls too. Any detail that may make toy look as for other gender than that of your child will make toy undesired. • Toys your child’s friends play with – When your child is playing with his friends, watch to find out if he manifests interest in any of his playmate’s toys. If he does, then it’s very likely that he would like to have a toy similar one his friend has. • Sometimes, a child tells his parents what toy he likes or wants, thus saving them from a lot of hard work. But don’t count on this. Some children aren’t very keen to talk with parents unless they really want a certain toy. • Safety – This is most important factor you must consider whenever you need to decide what toy you should buy for your child. Unfortunately, this is also most overlooked one. Usually, parents forget to check if toy they choose for their children are safe. • Is toy educational? – It’s a good thing if toys you choose for your child can help him develop new skills. You can take this guide to choose educational toys for your child And please remember that age difference between you and your child is of at least 20 years. The fact that you liked a toy when you were a child does not mean that your child will love it too. Children from different generations like different types of toys Make sure you offer toy to your child in appropriate manner! When you offer toy to your child, don’t do it in a “Here’s your toy. Now go and play with it” manner. If you do it this way, that toy won’t mean a thing to your child. Rather, try to make a game. Hide toy somewhere where child can easily find it, and encourage him to look for it. Laugh with your child, search for it together… And when he finds toy, don’t just let him play by himself. Get involved in your child’s play. Make that fun of a lifetime. A parent is a child’s first and best friend.
