Our friends at Coudal in Chicago always come up with creative yet simple ideas.
The latest is Pinsetter. Visit the Pinsetter page, type a word or sentence, and click Set It: I used (surprise) "SERGE THE CONCIERGE" which came up to 17 Characters, corresponding to 17 Pins. It would cost me $17 plus $1 for postage if I ordered.
It could actually be a fun way for me and my 2nd grader to work on his Spelling Words. In that case I should order what they call The big set ‘two each of A-Z and 0-9 plus one more of each of these letters: ETAOINSHRDL and of course, +, ?, ! and the red heart’ all 87 pins for $39 plus $2 for shipping.
Add this to the Gift List for the Kids, the Frustrated Parent. It could also fit in the Gifts to the Teachers section.
My previous Gift Suggestions were Food and Wine Items and Laguiole Corkscrews in case you missed them.
