Should You Arm Your Children for Christmas?
This lens discusses the latest Christmas controversy when it comes to the perfect gift item for kids this year - should you go un-armed or armed?
If you are shopping for a gift for a male or female aged eight to twenty eight then we have some cool gift suggestions and some common pitfalls to avoid.
Read on as we compare un-armed vests and highly armed Nerf alternatives to find the best gifts this holiday season. For every Amazon sale from this lens Squidoo will donate $1 to charity!
The Un-Armed Option - Perhaps a sharp looking wooly vest?
When choosing the perfect gift one must first avoid the tempting impulse to simply purchase the ugliest vest possible. That may be a fun and embarrassing gift idea but sweaters without arms just don't make sense. Im not sure what was going on in the olden days but modern young men rarely seem to find themselves with hot arms and a cold body. For these reasons we feel the vest has become obsolete and we can not recommend this gift without arms.
The Armed Option - Nerf Guns! - Choosing the right weapon for your children.
If you want to give your kids a head start in life we recommend arming them early with sufficient foam firepower to get them through their formative years of combat readyness.
