School's In Session: Stock The Gift Closet

Oh how I remember those grade school years! 

There was at least one birthday party a week. And that Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah year at age 13....Oy Vay! The parties were so special in my neck of the woods, the gifts had better be, as well. It can be hard to keep up. Here's a little help. Get party ready with this Edit of all things cool for Kids birthdays and events.
