Think hard. I may take a moment or two to jog your memory.
That's right. It's called a walkman. I'm sure you had one. We all did.
Well, we have two stored away in our attic. Unused for years. Rendered completely useless by CDs, Ipods, and Mp3s.
I couldn't even sell these if I tried. Thus the sigh... I hate harboring useless stuff in my attic. I admit, I was tempted to just trash the beasties and be done with it.
But then, it hit me! (Thank you for inspiration, Lord!)
My girls would love these! They've never seen them before. and have no clue that they're considered "outdated." I have old cassettes they can listen to...and the library has stories on cassettes that they'd love during Rest Time!
Sweet.
And just like that...I have another inexpensive (Can we say FREE?!) gift to add to their Christmas morning fiesta. one that I know will be used over and over and over again.
Just like it was looonng ago. in my own life. Got any that you could pass on to your young child this Christmas?
And so I challenge you, as you try to save money this Christmas...Go shopping. In your very own attic (or basement). Go with an open mind as you try to see your old "junk" through the eyes of a child. You may be surprised.
I know I was.
