Also, I will be doing a pickup at the Parra fair for those that want to donate anything. Once we hammer out more of the details I will post it off to where it has got to go.
Thanks, mate for volunteering. Very kind of you and its very appreciated.

As for girls toys, I've turned my mind to that but I personally feel that it's not a necessity to have girl presents. When I explained it to Johnny, he said it wasn't an issue. They're happy to have us helping them out and what we're proposing is already more special than what they can usually offer. They especially love the thinking behind it - the creativity and implicit learning.

Lego, if there are any sales, is also a great equaliser too b/c some sets can be for both boys and girls. Like my sister loved the Creator and Toy Story sets this year.

So I don't want us to have to go out of our way to buy a cross-section of toys. I think let's stick to what's easiest and don't feel pressured you have to have a boy/girl present. The guys at Orana knew we've got a boys slant and they didn't mind at all. Definitely going forward for next year, we can keep a better eye on the toy shelves for good girl toy deals as well but please nobody go above and beyond to just and try and get a balance.
