Today one of my aunts visited us, to see Tori for the first time. Beside the fact that she was disappointed Tori ignored her (what she expected? a 8-months baby don't care about public relations:) she gave her a gift: a sweater. Very nice, I appreciate, but... why a sweater? There is any chance for Tori to receive something else as a gift, ever? I think she already has like 9 or 10, 80% of the presents received were sweaters.
This one is red&orange, quite nice, made in china (WHERE ELSE?), but let's see who will gonna use it? I bought 2 one-piece overalls, one to fit the warm autumn outside and one for cold weather and this is what my baby will gonna use for this season. I'm trying to figure out how to upload some pictures here and I'll do it.
Anyway, back to my question: Why everyone buy sweaters? It is so much easier to buy a sweater and say: "I don't care, I've done my job, I've got something". As far as I remember from my childhood, the only true gifts for a kid are toys and candies. And this is what i buy when I have to make a gift to a baby. And I think this should be the present for any kid.
You, all Tori's aunts, grandmas and friends: buy me something I could appreciate or you'll be amazed to see how much I am amused by the wrapping paper and how less I care about the gift:)
