Thanks for the mention on your blog! I am so thrilled you like our site! We are working diligently to build a “safe” shopping site where grandparents, aunts, uncles, parents etc. can come and buy gifts, necessities, and treasures!
Have a great holiday season!

Another eco-conscious Grandma checking in to say thank you for this list. I run a green B&B and want to steer my son’s family toward toys that are good for kids and the environment.

Gosh, how I miss buying toys. Mine is now a teenager and apart from electronic ‘toys’ (such as a pink Apple laptop – dream on girl!!) there are clothes vouchers and make-up on the wish list. Gone are the days of the dreamy Barbie Jeep…
Enjoy while you can.

Jackie,

I have so many suggestions for you! I would suggest a tea set and a baby doll. Keira LOVES playing tea with her baby, making the baby “drink” from the cup. There are some nice eco-friendly ones out there. Want me to send you some specific ideas?

And I agree with Jen! Jackie, you are too young to be a grandma!

What a great post for black friday! Something positive instead of just shop till you drop. And Jackie, I truly can’t believe you are a granny! Did you give birth when you were, what, 12?

Okay, now tell me what I should buy my grandbaby. She’ll be 11 months old when Christmas rolls around. I have no idea. The family also likes organic–and they generally buy from second-hand stores. But I’m grammy; I’m buying brand new! I want to get cute clothes and fun toys, but they have a very small space. Do share your advice! Please.
