Best Presents and Gift Ideas

UPDATE:
Since the time I originally made this post, things seemed to have flip flopped. The Cars Pitstop Workbench has now been showing up on Amazon as available and when I recently checked eBay, no one was selling it. So, in the interest of helping you to find what you are looking for, here is the link to the Amazon listing...

Let me just say that as a parent, it can be a tough call when you have a child (or children) with just one special gift in mind.  Sure, sometimes it works out great and all you have to do is head out to the stores and pick up "just the right gift".  Other times though, it is a little bit more challenging.

The challenge comes when you cannot find that special gift available anywhere.  We recently went through this with the Cars Pit Stop Workbench.  Our son has not really asked specifically for a whole lot of items.  This was the big one that he really wanted.  What was nuts about the whole thing was that we saw 20 of them at Big Lots the day he mentioned wanting it.  He saw the boxes stacked up and just went nuts for the thing.  We couldn't buy it then, because we were thinking of it as a Christmas present.  The next day we learned that every one was sold out right after we left the store.  Not only that, we could not find it at any stores anywhere near us.

I decided to check online and almost had one on Amazon.  It said there was one left.  I went to get my credit card, and by the time I clicked to order, it was gone.  Unbelievable timing.  You can click here to check Amazon now.

The place I finally did find it was eBay.  As a frequent seller there, I guess I should have thought of it first, but I guess I just wasn't thinking.  What surprised me was that they had it at the same price as it had been on sale in the stores around us ($39.99).  Yes, I had to pay shipping, but it was worth it.  I bought it from a top seller with a feedback score of over 99% and it went without a hitch.

We liked this because of the drawers.  We have issues around here with people losing small items and the drawers are the perfect solution.  Sure, the other features are cool, but being able to find the little tools and other items we have collected is even cooler.  Just a note, this item has small parts and isn't for kids under three.

If you are looking for the Cars Pitstop Workbench, hopefully you have found it listed here.  If you don't see anything listed, they may be sold out temporarily.  You may also see some other car related workbenches being shown off.  Click on each one to get details if they interest you.
