Our son went shopping on Black Friday to pick out the following gifts for a needy boy and girl in our community.

He thought the Lego watch would be a big hit for a wide age range of boys.
He was thrilled to find this on sale (yes my son is frugal!) and he said "Every little girl needs a doll & stroller to play with."

We delivered these to the Mission in town and they will distribute the gifts before Christmas.
 
How can your only child (those with more than one are welcome to chime in too  :O)  bless others this Christmas season?
