  • A variety of good books and magazines according to our interests
  • Games, puzzles, building toys, and other fascinations
  • Family activities, field trips, and travel adventures
  • Musical instruments, power tools, and project supplies
  • Road trips, train trips, and camping trips
  • Tickets to the theater, concerts, history museums, and science centers
  • CDs, DVDs, and computer games
  • Classes for things we might not have available at home: metalworking, glass blowing, pottery, sailing, and robotics
  • Bicycles, bus passes, and running shoes
