there's always half a dozen kittens and a case of redbull!!

Of course if you like your family spawn, I'd say that Ducati toy monster. the cooler one is available for under $300!!
If you are welathy, there's a childrens Bugatti now for only $4500. I considered buying it for myself
Oh! It's on sale for $3600!!!

speaking as the dad of a soon to be 3 year old girl- anything Dora. My kid is obsessed with Dora, Diego, Wonder Pets, Sponge Bob. If you are looking for some fun for yourself, try dropping some acid and watching Yo Gabba Gabba.

+1 one on the recorder if you want to annoy the parents. I speak from experience.

Cant go wrong with Play Doh, sing along books (you push buttons and it plays songs) or coloring books. THats what my kid is doing now. She plays her electric keyboard alot too.

And if none of those work- my kid loves

thats the gift that keeps on giving.

Best answer so far! A sheet of high powered blotter for the parents

Too bad they are re-making the image of Dora and turning her into a slut........

My niece is turning 3 in a month and I have no clue what to get a 3yo. Any suggestions? I can't think of anything besides candy. I guess there's dolls too but I don't really wanna get her a doll. I felt like an idiot walking around the Barbie aisle of Target and Toys R Us in full gear looking for a 50th anniversary Barbie for my sister. I'd rather not do it again.

I had the same dilema a few years ago with my niece. I ended up starting a college fund for her. Works great, every bday or christmas I just write a check to the college fund. Do a search for 529 plans or education savings programs. I live in Michigan and I used the state run saving program, you can start one with as little as $25. I think most mutual fund companies have 529 plans.

I wouldn't mind that but I'm not terribly close to her. She's cute and fun to be around once she warms up to you but her parent's (my cousin) is kinda reclusive and doesn't like to have company over often.
