Question: I need to buy a birthday gift for a five year old girl today. And, I don’t want to spend a lot of money.
So, should I go to :
a) the boutique toy shop in the high-rent district of downtown Marblehead where no single toy is less than $25
or
b) Target?
And the answer is…..(drum roll)….A!
Because I need one toy. And maybe a card.
I do not need a cart full of diapers, a six-window picture frame, juice boxes, spicy snack mix, a few pairs of 5T blue jeans, Winnie the Pooh bath toys, scented candles, a cute new top and a six-pack of Right Guard. And that’s exactly what I would get if I went to Target.
You hear me, girls. I know you do.
