Thanks to Sue from Vintage Rescue Squad for this guest post on one of her favorite holiday gifts...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forget about mustaches on a stick. All the hipster toddlers have one thing at the top of their wishlists this holiday season: XYZ blocks.
Help your pint-sized future sullen English major wow their fellow rugrats with their impressive expanding vocabulary with such learning blocks as neanderthal, toupee, and graffiti.
Identify important character-building moods such as sassy, gloomy, and the ever-important cranky.
Plus, these awesome blocks are also an ideal gift for your beloved cubicle-dweller! Who wouldn’t enjoy building a pyramid of hero, underpants, litterbox, and quicksand while on an interminable conference call?
Any block set that includes trailer, eight ball, and yard sale AND builds vocabulary is a win-win gift in my world.

Thanks, Sue! Of course, I love the yard sale and trailer blocks, but the uvula one is equally awesome. The earlier a child knows about their uvula, the better.
If you are interested in buying your own set, I found these blocks for sale at NeatoShop - and if you pay for UPS 2nd Day shipping, you'll get them in time for Christmas.
Read the whole list of fresh gifts.
OMG those are hilarious! The sunburn block... LOL Love those - I've got to get them for my sister! Thank you for sharing!

Oh my word! The second I saw 8-ball and trailer, I knew these were screamin' Sue and Colleen. The graphics are fantastic! Love the extraterrestrial one.......:)
