Q. I've come up with two good gift ideas: sheets for his bed, its a California King water bed. OR a pair of pants, hes 6'4 and weighs 140lbs, he has like 2 pairs of decent pants the rest don't go down to his feet.
I'm leaning more toward the pants, problem is I have no idea what size he is. I don't want to ask him because then he'd know what I was doing.How can I figure out his size? without him knowing?
OR what would be a better gift idea?

A. Ask his parents or his brother s/sisters to help out in finding the size of his pants.

What are your absolute favorite toys for 6-12 month olds?
Q. Our son will be turning 6 months old tomorrow, and we want to get him a few new toys as a half birthday gift. What are your favorite toys for your 6-12 month old, and what do you love about them?
A. My son is 10 mos.
-He particularly likes anything with large wheels that he can turn. He has a large plastic truck with no small parts and a little train with a few cars (also no small parts). I like these because he'll spend a lot of time just turning the wheels, but then he can also push it around the room.
-He also likes things that makes a sound if you press one specific area (he has a dragon that burps--I've no idea who came up with that but it still cracks us both up!).
-Here's something that I can't describe, but he loved it especially around 6-8 mos. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geek-kids/b0a3/
-Another favorite are bathtime squirt toys like these: http://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Baby-Piece-Squirties-Vinyl/dp/B000G7WYNI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1278662459&sr=1-4 They're fun in the bath but he also enjoys carrying them around and blowing air at himself.
-There's also the "Scout" dog (and similar products). These are more expensive (ours was a gift), though still very affordable at around $20, and they can be programmed to talk to your child and say his name, plus you can choose songs and music that it "sings" which also can be personalized. I noticed that once we got it (at 5 mos) he started responding to his name quite a bit more and I think that it will later help him build a rudimentary vocabulary. http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-19156-My-Pal-Scout/dp/B001W30D2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1278662573&sr=1-1
-Board books are also great. Our son doesn't care so much to be read to yet, but he likes turning the pages (and eating them). Later maybe we'll actually get him to pay attention to the words. :)
You didn't ask, but here are some "non-baby" baby toys that our son loves:
-a lightweight flashlight. It rolls, he can hold it and he's endlessly delighted with turning the light on and off
-a set of 'blank' keys. He used to play with our keys, but as soon as he became mobile we could never find them when we needed them. I went a hardware store and bought a few different keys (not carved to any specific design) and put them on a ring. He loves it and I know where my keys are now!
-a half-full bottle of water (tightly closed). It rolls, it reflects the light, makes sound. Our son learned to crawl chasing after a bottle of water.
-a small non-helium balloon (but of course only when supervised). My son loves this; he'll chase it around and he loves hitting himself (and others) with it.
Happy birthday to your son; if you haven't already, you should be starting to get more sleep soon. :)

Is there any gifts I can give to someone who audits or does a little accounting? Maybe something to ease?
Q. their job? I know it can be stressful. It's a birthday gift and I'm just looking for any ideas.
Idk if there's any but any suggestions?

A. I used to work as a bookkeeper for several small businesses. (I know accounting, but I don't have a degree or a CPA certification.)
I don't think that such a person would want a gift related to the field. We don't want a calculator or an accounting software program as a gift LOL.
Get the person a personal gift based on what you know of them. Perhaps a book by their favorite author, a gift certificate to a decent restaurant, or even just a standard gift card that can be used anywhere. That last might be the best idea. With a gift card, they can go online to Amazon.com or other sites and purchase something that they want or need. It seems generic to do that, but really, it WILL be appreciated, since they can get what THEY want or need, not what YOU guess they might want or need.
