<p>Last Friday we had our annual <a title="Toys for Tots dot org" href="http://www.toysfortots.org/" target="_blank">Toys for Tots</a> drive at work. It was great fun as usual, and we ended up with a lot of awesome toys to donate to the cause. As with previous years, we were randomly assigned a coworker at a certain age, and had to buy a toy we though they might&#8217;ve played with when they were that age. I had a seven-year-old girl, and found a really fun friendship bracelet making kit. Now, I honestly don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s what my assigned coworker would&#8217;ve enjoyed or played with when she was seven; really, I was just thinking about the child who will be getting this gift. I imagine a little girl hanging out with her friends in her bedroom making and exchanging friendship bracelets, giggling and listening to Kidz Bop, or something like that. It&#8217;s a pretty picture in my head. Whether or not it&#8217;s going to come true I haven&#8217;t a clue.</p>

<p>For my gift, I was 17, and whomever got me knows me very well! This would&#8217;ve been <em>exactly</em> what I wanted at that age!</p>
