[quote=Anonymous]I found that the Amazon wishlist method has really helped curb this issue with my parents, who also tend to purchase plastic toys that make noise. Like you, I don't mind having some of those types of toys but I don't want them to be the majority. We have kept the ones that get played with the most often and when we go through and purge, those types of toys are the first things to get donated. This was the best Christmas yet because we really did a targeted wish list with plenty of stuff to choose from that we knew they would love (train set, doll house) but that were not those kind of toys. It is much easier to tell them what you *do* want than to say "don't get anything with batteries" or whatever. If they are anything like my parents, there is no ill intent whatsoever, they just want to get their grandchildren toys they will enjoy. You know your child better than anyone so if you can help them in purchasing toys that will be enjoyed, it is a win-win for everyone.[/quote]
