I always go to www.doverpublications.com for all kind of books and software. They have things for folks of all ages. From stickers and paper dolls to art instruction, paper airplanes, classic literature. What kid can resist reading Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure stories..not this kid. The Black Arrow is still a favorite re-read. Even Math and puzzle books..Too much to mention here but go to the website and check it out. Prices are reasonable and shipping is low. If you have kiddo's out of town you can have it sent direct. This year I am giving to some preteens and teenie girls, paper dolls for the younger ones and fashion drawing instruction books for the older ones all packaged up in a cute simple tote bags. For the boys, science books, puzzle books and paper airplane books in a cowboy book-bag. Yes they are old fashioned gifts, not an electronic game machine or elaborately quilted heirloom but in the end I will bet they get used just as much maybe even more. There are new gifts that get all the hype each year but in the end kids don't change much. They want to be engaged in some thing that challenges as well as entertains and for me that means a good book. Oh yeah...they have music scores, great posters, clip art up the wazzoo....any thing you can think of
