For those of us that don't have children, it is a difficult task figuring out what to get a child for Christmas. Here are the 5 things you should never buy a child.

Some parents are picky with what they let their children play with. I've heard of parents not wanting their child to play with guns because of the violence involved. Understandable. I have also heard of parents not wanting their child to have video games because it makes them lazy and also a lot of games have violence in them as well. Totally agree. Those items aren't on this list but here are others items you shouldn't get for children.

5. Anything Loud

I don't buy my dog squeaky toys because they are loud and annoying. So don't buy a child anything that makes to much noise. I know, easier said than done. Seems like every toy these days has some sort of audio component that is annoying. FURRBBYYY!!

4. Anything with lots of Little Pieces

The first time a parent gets up in the middle of the night and steps on one of these small pieces it will be your name they curse. Plus, with some ages, you shouldn't be buying small pieces anyway, they could be a choking hazard.

3. Musical Instruments

I know we would all like to take credit for some child becoming the next big Rockstar because we bought them their first electric guitar, but think of the parents who have to listen to that. Plus, music lessons cost extra and it should be the parents choice if the child is going to get into music.

2. Water Guns

Nobody wants to be shot with a water gun in December. It doesn't make any sense. Stay away from any type of water toys.

1. Arts and Crafts

As soon as the child starts painting the wall with the arts and crafts you bought them the parents first phone call is going to be to you asking you to get your painting clothes on to come clean up the mess. The parents might not be crafty either so try and stay away from Arts and Crafts.

Are there any items I might have missed? Oh ya, don't ever, ever,ever buy any Oakland Raiders gear for a child. They will be picked on through out their entire life. Check out this video below for a better idea! LOL Enjoy!
