Lands' End Kids Clothes : Great source for out-of-season clothes, hard to find items and school clothes. Lands' End Diaper Bags
are terrific; I had a backpack style, it went around the world and still looked brand new. You will find some great deals in Boys' Overstocks
and Girls' Overstocks
Crayola.com
: Shop by age or product. It is worth your time to visit the store, even if you don't purchase anything, because there are activities and ideas for art projects. They have items online that aren't available in stores. Their twistable crayons are a travel essential for those with children. I also like their Color Wonder products; they also carry paint, modeling clay, sidewalk chalk and learning activities. Get Silly Putty online! on the same site; they offer a bulk purchase deal so this would make a great item to take to the kids in the orphanages.
Turn a Child's love of Animals into a love of Reading!
: "Each monthly issue features 24 pages of striking wildlife photography, insightful writing, colorful illustrations, and diagrams that explain in simple terms things that make "animal facts" come alive for your child." For kids 4-12. Used in many classrooms, so it makes a great gift for a teacher.
I See Me!
personalized children's books. Beautifully illustrated story that uses animals to "bring letters" to spell the child's first and last name. Can be made with any name. You may be able to find it in a store near you. They also have embroidered "animal letter" t-shirts.

Restaurant.com Dining Certificates
: Save 50% or more on restaurant gift certificates! Easy and fast to use; just search for a city, restaurant, pay for it, then print off on your computer. I use these for teacher and coach gifts. These are also useful when traveling or for gifts for friends and family living in other cities. If you get on their mailing lists, they frequently offer coupons for even further discounts. They also offer gift packs from a variety of online stores.
My Twinn One-of-a-Kind Dolls
These dolls are not cheap, but they are worth it. Where else can you find a doll that looks like your child? You choose skin, hair and eye color; hair style, and face shape. You can also send in a picture and let the artist customize the hair style and add freckles.
