SCRABBLE: Buy A Toy For Yourself
Do you spend all of your hard earned cash on just the bare essentials and gifts for others?
When was the last time that you treated yourself?
Now may be just the right time to treat yourself to that toy that you’ve been eyeing.
As a kid, I always enjoyed those toys that sat along the checkout counters in the supermarket or at the drugstore. Those were a quick fix to keep me and other kids happy for a few minutes, diverting us from disturbing our parents and allowing the salespersons to ring up the sale. But soon after leaving the store, those toys usually were broken. That is why there are trash bins outside of most retail stores.
As I grew older, my choice of toys changed. I usually found myself thinking about the quality and durability of the toy.
But merchandisers are smart too. Even when they know that iPOD #8 will be released next week, they keep it a secret so they can dump their stock of iPOD #7 on you and me. They make iPOD #8 look sexier than my iPOD #2 so I will want to upgrade. (The truth is, my iPOD #2 works just fine and I will never miss the fact that the iPOD #8 can start my toaster with a single touch, as I climb out of bed in the morning.)
Then, there are ‘TOYS’ that last a lifetime. I’ve have had the same deluxe scrabble board since 1988. It may last me my entire lifetime and be passed down to my grandchildren. Some may not consider my scrabble tiles and clock as ‘toys’. However, I use them to play scrabble almost every day. Even my study lists and WHIZ CARDS are my toys. They help keep me sharp, teaching me and reteaching me legal words to play against my opponents.
TOYS are the things that make you happy and provide you pleasure. Check out the scrabble toys at my unique gift store; you’ll find some special items for every scrabble player: CLICK HERE.
