Yourself?

Ah yes...
Children. =)
Reminds me that Christmas is coming...

Guess what I was doing this morning? Looking through mailers of "Toys R'us" and Marks & Spencers. Picking out gifts for friends, looking at the astonishing prices, and then picking out imaginary gifts for myself. (in that order)
Found out in the Toys R'us mailer that they have a "girls" section but not a "boys" section. Instead they named the obviously "boys" toys as under " Auto world". What's that supposed to be? To show the world that girls nowadays would play with boys' toys but boys wouldn't touch a barbie doll???

There was also a "movie excitement" section where half the merchandise belonged to the "Harry Potter" mania. Saw a rather enticing Wizards' Chess set though, and only $20. Hrm.

Oh yeah, Gabriel, remember those funny looking stick ponies we saw in Toys R'Us before? The ones with the horse's head and then a stick for the kids to ride on? Apparently they are supposed to make "sounds" as well...

Saw good gifts for some of you in the catalogues =) But then my pocket ah........sigh.

In the M & S brochure there were food hampers, which a certain somebody here would love. Unfortunately when I saw the price.....=< 3 digits, without a "." in between the digits. Sorry.

Also saw a shirt and some nice silky ties that I'd like to buy for some of my friends, and yechao. But the price again ah......arrrrgh.
