As the father of a daughter, I despise girl-branded toy karaoke machines and all manner of toddler glitter pop performer toys.
My wife brought home a couple toy microphones last week, blue and green, devoid of any labels or visual clues as to whether they should be played with by a boy or girl.

With December&#8217;s gluttonous orgy of spending behind us, let&#8217;s look at a toy we cannot easily buy.
It&#8217;s the Extraterrestrial Minivan by Gospel House Handicrafts! Yep, it&#8217;s a wooden green minivan with a roof that pulls back for interior access. Four alien family members fit inside, along with two pieces of luggage.
