    - I think (unless you know they already have it) that scooters are better. Roller skates are a lot of work, you can't really skate *to* places b/c then you have to carry shoes.

  - Also, if you order them online, I think you can get them cheaper.

    - no because a lot of little girls like jewelry and jewelry making kits and boys like ant farms. that's just the way it is....as politically incorrect as it may be to you

      - No, it's not "just the way it is", it's what you create.

  - the fun of the jewelry making kit is MAKING the jewelry as well as wearing it. I see nothing wrong with that. It takes skill and creativity. Girls would like an ant farm too and she can play with it with her bro and I have a sneaking suspicion that bro will want in on the jewelry making.

    - by the way, I am the OR and I am an engineer. always loved science. and I loved creating and designing things. Perhaps that what inspired my ideas. Get over yourself already and silly concerns about being un-pc. Girls can do whatever they want today!! I hope you moms out there are not denying your little girls pink and frills and jewelry making kits because you think it is not pc.

      - I think that either is fine as a gift individually, but together they scream "I believe in ridiculous gender stereotypes". IMO, if you don't know the DC well enough give something you know they would really like, give something gender neutral. (And I would consider the ant farm a gender-neutral toy, not a "boy" gift.)

- mindware is a great company to check out for books and games that are challenging, especially for kids who are puzzle-solvers

  - yes I just got catalog, tons of things. But at that age, they love playmobil. Go on their website, they have great prices and special items.
