what gifts are better for children this christmas?

I actually don't think that there is one specific gift that is the best gift to give to all children for Christmas this year. As for my children, there is actually a variety of things that they are going to be getting this year for Christmas and I actually didn't spend a lot of money on any of the gifts that we will be giving to them. However, I think that the gift that is going to be their favorite is going to be the digital cameras that they are each going to be getting.

I think some of the best gifts are the classics, like lincoln logs, tinker toys, legos, and board games. My son, who seems to be one of the exceptions loves to get books! My kids also appreciate a good, warm pair of pajamas. This year, I want to get my son the battle ship game, and my daughter asked for a white board and a "Ken" barbie doll, which I was able to find at Meijer for $4.00! One of the best gifts that I got from an Aunt and an Uncle when I was 8 years old, was a huge stocking (now available at dollar stores like the dollar tree) and it was filled with coloring books, crayons, puzzles, and other little trinkets. My brother and I shared the gift and we were thrilled with it!
