How do you find cool stuff for kids?Our friends are spread out all over the US, some even in other countries, and it’s often difficult to find COOL gift for birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions, like baby showers. The other issue we encounter is that we sort of feel like we are taking the easy way out by sending a gift card. It just seems there is so little thought behind that gesture. So we turned to the web.There are literally thousands of sites selling or reselling things for babies and kids. So let’s look at the positives and some of the lessons we learned. When my sister who lives in Europe reminds me it is my niece’s birthday, she also provides me with some links to sites containing items my niece finds desirable. Sure makes my life easier, and allows me to give a gift that is wanted and bring happiness. So next time a special occasion is approaching, maybe your best friend is having a BABY, go to the web and find that special gift.The next piece of advice we can share with you as a result of our own failings, is that you be as specific as possible. If you want cool baby things, type that in the search engine, if you want a cool baby clothes, search for that. Be specific! If not, you will end up with millions of results to sort through. And more than likely end up with getting a gift card. In other words, a lot of time is wasted.Another phenomena we encountered, and that was often beneficial, were sites that functioned as portals to other site that fit our overall search criteria. For example, if we typed “cool baby things" in to our search engine, we got to site that had narrowed the field down. When we switched it to “cool baby clothes", we got different and appropriate search results. Take advantage of the worked that has already been done for you.We buy presents for others to celebrate and share in their joy. Don’t minimize it buy taking the easy route. The Internet contains great ways to find unique and interesting gifts. Take advantage of what you have right in front of you and show the people that matter in your life that you truly care.http://www.1coolbaby.comI have friends and family spread out all over the place and most of the time I cannot be there for special occasions. Since I try to be a good friend, brother, and uncle, I try to do my best in giving gifts that matter, that add a personal touch, and that show that I put some thought into what I was giving.What I found was an overwhelming amount of sites on the Internet selling things I didn’t want, so I learned from my mistakes, and want to share some of my lessons.
