Have you tried amazon and eBay. I expect you probably have looked already but you can sometimes get stuff (new) on there which is out of print.

I am looking on amazon now. . Think might have got one, but tired looking. So looks a mean gift:(. Other ideas stiLl welcome. ( oops. No, its used)

Especially as this child is offering of parents who believe its intellectual superiority. My fairy pram books did not go down well because they both reinforced a feminine stereotype and did not expand intellectually. ( they were actually mainly to keep her fingers busy in queues and on buses and give something inane to read in times of desperation. Luckily they don't seem to have them!) . Resisting sending a copy of the ancient mariner or something similarly 'cheery' for the little brain box to listen to:D. . But do want to send nice gift!

Not sure if any of these are what you're looking for but they are so cheap might be worth buying on the off chance the condition is good enough to give as a present?

Dear chewmylegoff, you are in very nice person gift giving overdrive. It is no anniversary of nice person chum ship, but your kindness risks getting you a virtual kiss on the cheek and sending you running into the corner wiping you facing shrieking 'cooties, cooties' before pretending to grump again.

Thank you:)

Intellectual superiority at the age of 1? Seriously?

Maybe THEY need a present to help them chill out a bit. Some special cakes from Amsterdam should do the trick.

Managed to knock the iPad as DH said ' just as well a she hasn't got much of a ( iPad knock) pretty face ( seriously....he'd not laugh if so e one said the about one of his pets... Any way, I said I thought the kid looked just like him and thankfully the iPad knock meant that the parents missed the whole what and and the father was going ' what, what' and I shouted out 'local family, she has to Skype family , so its good she's bright' . Mini dramas.

I think too many special cakes actually reduced papa's intellectual superiority and so not sure that will help much.

Envy, pure envy :drool:

I liked reading them 'Guess how much I love you!' of which there are now a whole series of 'merchandise' but it probably isn't that intellectual.

I haven't seen anything to suggest that Lydia is capable of such a terrible lapse of judgement.

That's not a nice thing to say about our Nikki

Aww - Good luck for Tomorrow MsK, perhaps being slightly out of it on pills will help you come over as chilled....I know I would give you the job. Coffee afterwards again? Did I tell you when I got back last time an email had come in that needed to be actioned within 15 minutes which had more than passed and my boss when she saw the contents asked me in a rather pointed way what time it had arrived....
