Shopping With The Niece And Nephew

By Stacy T. Magner


Car rental coupons can save you a lot of money, if you are deciding to borrow a vehicle. This little piece of paper ended up saving me some cash the last time that I went on a voyage. I found my promotion online, printed it off, and kept the coupon with me as I went to my new destination.

It was comforting knowing that I had a little extra spending cash for my journey. I was making this journey to catch up with my niece and nephew, whom I haven't seen in a long time. When they were younger, I never really thought they would remember the gifts that I would get them.

It was easy just to get them something simple and inexpensive. Now that they were getting older I wanted to spend a little bit more on them and buy them something that would really help boost their education. My niece is the older sibling at almost 8 years old and my nephew is only 5 years old. They are both in an important age to explore as much as they can about the world.

I decided to hold back on buying their presents until I arrived, so that I could see what they already had. It was very amusing to show them around the mall, while my brother and his wife were away at work during the day. Fortunately, my car had an installed GPS system to help me get around. This made it child's play even for me to find my way to places. Those two seemed to really enjoy themselves in the mall. The little boy picked out a dinosaur book and his older sister decided to go for some sort of hand held video game. I made sure to check the game and see if it taught her something before I agreed to buy it for her.

I was reminded of my older brother, while I watched them start to play with their toys. He was so selfish with his things and would never give me a chance to play with them. This is why I like having my own possessions, like renting my own car when I travel. It's also the reason I bought my nephew his own video game too. He was satisfied with his book, but I was predicting that he would want a video game in a day or two.
