The cars are smaller then a quarter.
It seems that I enjoy the holiday season more and more as the years go by! I don't know why that is but I hope it continues... Today I did some Christmas shopping for Presley and for one of her playmates (it's his birthday this weekend).
I have been looking for toys for Presley's friend and had no idea what to get them. I thought maybe an art set (no he might write on the walls). I thought maybe a cap gun (are those even allowed anymore?). I was drawing a blank... Then I heard his Mom talk about how she keeps little army guys in her purse. She said they are a great restaurant toy and no one cries if one or two goes missing. Aha, I'll get him trucks!
I decided to go look at a few Antique stores, the old metal ones (trucks) are the best! After getting lost in a store for over an hour this (toys pictures above) is what I came up with. The collection of military vehicles on the right are for Presley's playmates gift. The others are for Presley next time we head to a restaurant or Christmas. I decided to get the old tins to carry the cars in.
I decided to post this because I liked the idea of the purse full of army men and now the tin of cars... I imagine soon we all will be looking for gifts and the Antique stores are filled with unique gifts. The cars were $3.00 a piece and the tins were $10.00. I thought it was a good price for a fun gift. Plus!! I found a pink (metal) Tonka truck and horse trailer! It's perfect for my lil' One! How will I keep it from her until Christmas ?!!
