[quote=Anonymous]We always used to have this problem, too. Once when my mom asked what DS might like for Christmas I directed her to some "new" toys she never heard of, like Magna-tiles, marble runs, etc. She was at first shocked by the prices ($75-100) as she's used to buying many small junk items from the dollar stores. I had to convince her that just buying one toy was sufficient for DS, as she liked the process of wrapping tons of things to give him. Then that first Christmas she finally followed my suggestion and saw how cool the Magna-tiles were and how much fun DS had with them (he played with that way more than the other junk) she totally got it. Now she seeks out these kinds of toys and understands that one of these is much better than 5 or 10 of the cheapo kind. It was really more about her upbringing, learning about higher quality toys that exist, and letting go of the idea that she "needed" to give a bunch of presents to make it fun for DS. [/quote]
