I only have one child, but I think that I give her enough attention for three kids. I wouldn't say that I spoil her, but I love to spend so much time with her and make sure that she's prepared with as much learning and reading as possible to help her in her future. Well, she recently read a book about mummies and decided that she wants to go as one for Halloween.
She told me that she wants the costume I make her to be historically accurate. Well, I told her I would make it look as good as possible but I wouldn't be mummifying her just for Halloween. I used my wireless internet for laptops to look online and get some great ideas for how to make her costume. Between her book and that stuff, I had all kinds of ideas.
Her kids DIY mummy costume actually has turned out really well! I thought that it would be fun to put some jewelry over her wraps, so I found some good, cheap costume jewelry for that too. She thinks it's historically accurate enough, thank goodness!

Trouble Finding that Perfect Gift at the Perfect Price? Try Become.com
Call me crazy, but it seems to me that shopping online was easier years ago. Now the choices are mind-boggling. Do a search for dining chair pads, say, and you will get shopping results from big box stores to WAHMs who've set up a little online store front and everything in between.
One of those "everything in between" might just be Become.com. When you're doing your shopping research, Become.com provides product information, reviews, specs, and comparison prices.
The shopping site also allows you to zero in on the information that's important to you. Maybe you're looking for a housewarming gift and decide to check out queen comforter sets. Want specs such as thread count and care instructions? Click the product details. Want reviews of the peace sign bedding that caught your eye? Click that button or discussion forums to "listen in" on the chatter about the pros and cons of the item you're looking for.

Litter Robot Automatic Litter Box
Cat lovers, give yourself the gift of relief - relief from the unpleasant chore of cleaning out the litter pan and relief from the smell of less-than-fresh litter.
The Litter Robot Automatic Self Cleaning Litter Box cleverly sifts stinky waste without rakes or wires, which have a habit of jamming up or breaking down. Clumps get dumped into a separate chamber below. And unlike other automatic litter boxes, you can use standard kitchen trash bags or even free grocery bags - no need to spend more on overpriced supplies.
For most cats, the transition from the do-nothing litter pan to this high-tech model is a smooth one. The Litter Robot works with any clumping litter, so no need for any special (read: more expensive) brand.
A weight sensor tells the unit it's "ocupado" and waits a safe seven minutes to start its cleaning cycle. (Don't know about you, but my cats don't dally in the box, so seven minutes is plenty of time for kitty to vacate the premises.) But don't worry, if your cat gets curious, as I've heard they do : ), the Litter Robot senses that too and stops.
The litter stays fresher longer with this space-age machine and this saves you money since you end up using less of the clumping stuff. The Litter Robot comes in black, gray and beige, which, to me, are equally ugly, lol, but functional. It has an awesome 18-month warranty and most people who try it love it. And those who don't have reported excellent customer service.
This may not be something you have thought about, but if you have a daughter or daughter-in-law or other loved one who is pregnant and has cats, this automatic litter box is a great gift idea. Less handling of waste helps protect against toxoplasmosis.
