So earlier this year my wife and I boxed up a number of the boys' toys dropped them off at the local DAV thrift-store. Frankly, it was pretty ridiculous the amount of stuff we just gave away - but it was just sitting there, untouched and unused. Needless to say, my boys don't really need anything (that I can think of). My wife and I are of the same mind that we don't want to by them more toys that will in short-order, end up sitting in a box, unused or even broken.
Yet, we can't just get them nothing for Christmas. They are two and five years old...and expecting Santa to come and bring them gifts. So, what to do? I've been thinking about it and I really, truly have zero good ideas - besides ordering a bunch of crap (like we just gave away).
Surely I'm not alone. Who has had these very thoughts and what did you do?
