KQ are these bags any good? Or I could just go with a ugg robe..
Uhhhhhhh Kate Spade? Yeah, they're good. Wow. There's some beautiful bags on that page.
Question is: Is the intended recipient a fan high-end big name handbag fashion? If the answer is "yes," if she's always dreamed of owning a Kate Spade bag, then I'd say go for it. You will not be sorry with how happy it will make her. She will squeal with delight when she opens it and will be quickly planning her first outing where she can show all her GFs what a great guy you are for buying her one.
Next question(s) is/are: What shape/size of handbag gal is she? Does she want/need a zipper enclosure (I always want this just in case the bag gets turned upside down). A fold over flap design? External pockets? Back-pack style? Cross-over body style? Small clutch? A satchel? Is this going to be her everyday bag or a special occasion bag?
Final question: Are you going to get the matching wallet?
This would be my choice. It has an all enclosing zipper and a flat bottom so it will stand up when set down. Also, I like the long strap combined with the loop handles for multiple carrying options.

Crap. Now you've got me wanting one!
Ooooh this one fits the bill too! cameron street large lane
Damn you!
Nice! You are the man!
Re: wallet - it's up to you though it does make a nice set. With a quality bag like that putting your old wallet in it could be anti-climactic. Of course it's going to depend on what she currently has - if it's new or another quality designer then I would say "no".
Here are a couple of wallets from that collection:

Old wives tale: When giving a gift of a wallet, purse, piggy bank or anything that is meant to hold money, you should put money in it so the person will have good luck. By putting money in a wallet or purse that is being given as a gift, you ensure that the wallet or purse will never be empty of money.
LOL! They don't say how much money. My Grandmother would just put a coin in the coin purse section.
Another OWT - this one about gifting knives: There is a folklore superstition regarding the giving of a knife as a gift. If the knife is given to a friend, money must be exchanged as well. It is considered very bad luck to give someone a knife without exchanging money or the friendship will be cut by the knife.
3 year old girl?
Not quite 1 year old boy?
Hit a homerun with the girl last year with a stuffed wolf plush. That's her favorite thing, and she runs around howling.
Goose egging now? Little bouncy cow like the old hippity hop for girl, is as close as I got.
No idea for boy.
according to the people who compile lists of these things you hit the mark with the hippity hop only now it's called a "Gymnic Rody Horse Inflatable Bounce & Ride". Man I would have been all over that thing:

20 Best Toy and Gift Ideas for 3yo Girls in 2017
For a 1yo? Does it matter as long as he can safely put it in his mouth or cuddle with it? I would think something bright and eye catching to stimulate his little developing brain. The people at parents.com have some suggestions - I have to admit I would have thought some quite advanced for a 1yo but then I guess kids are developing faster than they did in my day. Seems like these gifts are geared towards facilitating interaction between parent and child which opens the door to more/different gifts other than the standard stuffed animal.

This toy is cool for a 1 yo and the spec section says good things about it:

Southern ID then? Sounds like a good plan and she can always supplement next year.
When I was a kid I remember my Dad digging up bulbs and storing them in my mother's old pantyhose. He would hang them on the wall in the garage when they could get air. I remember thinking how funny they looked. Seemed to work well in Seattle climate but I don't think it would do for EWA.

I think that’s what digitaldeath gave DSM for Christmas
Way back in a post, I mention 3d as a potential gift.
Should have been 3D PRINTER?
Dear, KQ Claus.
I need pet gift ideas.
I got a roadid tag for a puppy, but I need something for 8 year old boxer (boxer got lots of jackets and leash), 16 year old cat and 5 year old cat.
Thank you.
For the Boxer: Are you familiar with Playology? Toys are based on a dogs keen sense of smell.
I picked up these for my cats when I was shopping at Amazon for other presents. They've received good reviews and cats really seem to like that shape overall because they can grab it with their front paws while chewing on it and rabbit kicking all at the same time.

Other good choices are these no stuffing toys - my kittens love to drag them around all over the place. I bought the small dog size because the cat was really small and as I said before - they like the length. They love "Mr. Fox"
