Are you stuck for a gift, wondering “What is a good birthday gift?” or “What kind of present should I get?” Here are a few ideas for presents that I found, with gift ideas for adults and children’s birthday present ideas, too.
Personalized Gifts
2Blockheads has fun personalized gifts for kids, like music CDs where they actulaly sing the child’s name into the songs. My kids got them when they were little and LOVED them. In fact, when my 12 yr old is down, I sing her one of the goofier songs and she smiles. She probably thinks I’m a total nerd.
Gifts for Geeks
ThinkGeek.com has some of the most amazing products. They’re like Spencers, only instead of extreme trashy gifts, they have extremely smart gifts. Like a garden stake that sends you a tweet on twitter if the plant needs water, an Electronic Drum Kit Shirt
that really lets you play the drums just by poking yourself in the chest and of course the stuffed zombies. Because those are smart, right?
(EDITED- hey if you get the shirt, use the coupon promo: DNDRUM for a discount)
Handmade Gifts can save the economy
Not such a lofty claim, really. Buying handmade Christmas gifts really can save the economy in the United States. Recently, since Americans were having trouble paying their mortgages, several United States banks faced bankruptcy. Instead of bailing out the people and allowing us to save our homes by paying our mortgages, the US government decided to bail out the banks, keeping many families on the brink of homelessness and securing the financial future of the banks, instead of the people. Learn how buying handmade gifts can save the economy, and find places to buy handmade gifts.

comes in pink and blue (blue is shown here) and the song is absolutely adorable, someone got my daughter one of these for her first birthday, it’s like a little music box, not electronic. I don’t know about you, but I hate electronic sounding toys. As always, it was a bit loud but I have a trick, I put a band-aid over the little speaker holes. The padding muffles the sound just enough. Also for first birthdays there’s the 
which also comes in both pink and blue (both are pictured) in case the idea of a musical bear is just not what you had in mind. The Gund bears are nice and small, so baby can take it with him and snuggle with it. Finally, the 
comes with an all natural bubble bath, I know my babies love bubbles and it’s nice when you know they won’t hurt baby’s eyes.
I think that three of them would make an excellent little gift, for playing “the three bears” My toddlers love puppet shows, so we tend to have a lot of puppets. As a mom, I’ve only performed a few but the kids create a lot of puppet shows, it’s good for their imagination. Then there’s also the adorable 
, I don’t know about you but my kids cherish the cards just as much as the gift sometimes and even my oldest has a little stash of her favorite cards from over the years. This one would definitely make it into the stash, popups are so cool and this one is HUGE. Finally, the 
is absolutely genius. I’m thinking for teens or even adults. My oldest daughter is 15 and likes to listen to music when she falls asleep, I’m always wondering if it’s dangerous to sleep with ear buds in, she could strangle herself or maybe not hear the smoke alarm. With this iPod speaker pillow, she could listen to music when she falls asleep and not endanger herself or scare me. If I had one, I’d probably listen to guided meditations or books on mp3.
