Anymore, the cheap CD players are not good for kids, most kids I know
burn MP3’s and most of the inexpensive CD players will not play them.
Cheap MP3 players make it where most people do not use discmans. Just
my 2 cents there.
Also, as a mom of a girl with extreme skin allergies, bubble bath is
always a waste around my house… lol.
things like that are what makes it so hard to shop for anyone you do
not know. i wish all agencies had really detailed forms for people to
outline what they need or want.
