Now perhaps you can't resist to buy that whirlie-thing-a-ma-jig that goes bump and whirr, and grind and plays over 40 songs, but before you do, take a moment to consider the long-term, future, you know, seventeen short years from now. Close your eyes, and think what the world will be like in 17 years.
Are you frightened out of your mind yet?
Good.
Now, we all love to see the precious Terragen smiles, and her giggles could be bottled up and sold for a fortune, so to give her new toys for her birthday and watch her rip open bright packages with curly ribbon and squeal at the contents is priceless, no doubt. However, more loving and giving would be to truly make our dollars count by contributing towards little T's future.
She is a bright and beautiful little girl, and so, we all want her to have the opportunity to go and rock this world in a big way.
That said, as her aunt, I am recommending that you consider the Oregon College Savings Plan, in lieu of toys for little T. You can either open your own account, or give to Angela and Yvain to be placed in a fund they have set up. There may be various tax reasons to do one or the other.
