Kid's Birthday Dilemma
  • KmikeyMKmikeyM
    So apparently only the Madison Ave store sells clothes for girls. Which means if I want to get some nice Brooks Bros. for my niece's birthday I can't see it in person first...

    What else does a fancy uncle buy a kid if not a Brooks Brother's navy blazer?

    WHAT STEVE SAID! GOD!
  • KmikeyMKmikeyM
    WHAT DOES SHE LIKE!? How does she even know what she likes? She's just a child!
  • KmikeyMKmikeyM
    Maybe an iPad? Is that what you mean?

    Zin and I went to Nordy's. No navy blazer's for kids. WHAT IS WITH THIS TOWN?!
  • Loose_ThreadLoose_Thread
    Okay... how about a Treasury Bond redeemable at age 21?
  • KmikeyMKmikeyM
    Oh! That's a good one!
  • the_owlsthe_owls
    But seriously, if this kid doesn't want a navy blazer she is going to be SO BUMMED about your gift.
  • AlexAlex
    I would been fucking BUMMED to get a navy blazer as a kid.
  • AlexAlex
    I'd be fucking BUMMED to get a navy blazer now, too.
  • KmikeyMKmikeyM
    Oh good, now I know what to get Alex for his birthday. In fact, new present for everyone all the time. NAVY BLAZERS FOR EVERYONE.
  • AlexAlex
    Why do you want to intentionally bum me out KmikeyM?
  • KmikeyMKmikeyM
    I just want you to look nice.

    I got a Sunprint Kit from Canoe*. It seems like it would be fun, plus it's developed by educators at UC Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science.

    "Sunprints encourage an interest in the photographic process using only sun and water. Place a leaf, flower, or other object on the special photosensitive paper and set it in the sun briefly. Then rinse the paper in water and watch as a beautiful long-lasting image appears."

    Science + Art seems like a good idea.

    *this was recommended by my friend Agassi

    Ideas to make your gift represent special time shared with her uncle
    - Try setting personal items on the sunprint, such as paper currency, coins, bank cards, navy blazers, etc...
    - Make exciting discoveries with the young person. How does a seersucker imprint compare to linen? Cotton vs. wool?

    You can start a her collection of visual art with some original or print art from Black Wagon. An Ipad with a book installed. Maybe the photo kit goes with a photo expedition to take them or something like OMSI and optics or to a photography gallery and some history of early women photogs.
