I have forgotten my step-sister's birthday. Bottoms.

It was the 8th or the 10th or the 12th or something. Doublebottoms.

She's got cerebral palsy big-time; buying anything for her is hard because as well as her palsy, she's pretty severely disabled. If any kind person knows of nice stuff for prepubescents who can't see, hear, move or think much, seriously I would be very grateful to hear. All Dad ever tells me is that she likes Eeyore. Not that it matters because I forgot. Triplebottoms.

Hopefully she will have forgotten me, in which case my neglect, though stupid and callous, will at least cause no upset, and the late pressy will just be an extra surprise. Unless Dad's got her revved up to expect something on the day, in which case, quadbums.

Dad will be furious which means he won't contact me. There you go, hello silver lining.

I think clinton cards had large cuddly eeyores last time I wandered past - cuddly toys always go down well what ever the age when someone has that kind of disability

Thanks, I may well look out for Clintons; there's a Disney store in the Trafford Centre, and they didn't have any Eeyores the last time I was there.

I would love to give her something stimulating but for the life of me I never know what. Cuddly toys are a safe bet.

There are a couple of reasonably priced items at http://www.tfhuk.com/ which might be suitable.

Good heavens! This link is very interesting indeed - I had no idea special needs toys were now easily available; I've had no luck finding them generally. Thank you.

You might find this;

helpful.

My mum works with kids with special needs, and she always swears by play dough and that sort of thing, because it's something they can affect. I'll ask her when she phones next if you like.

Thank you, that would be very helpful indeed. I hadn't even considered things like playdough.

Basically anything tactile is good - apparently anything tactile which you can also eat is Toy Nirvana. But I'll have a word with her and see what she says.
