Heidi, you are kind, you remind of an Aunt of mine who never wed. She made us the most amazing gifts, we adored her.
My go-to teen boy gift is a shoe bag, like the drawstring bag in the LTTS book (I know you have that). I also like to pop a small pack of wet ones and some Scuff Stuff shoe polish in it.
Voila, a travellers shoe cleaning kit.

Swimsuit or bathing suit for swimming, crayons for coloring, and I think I’ll avoid saying ‘dag’ until I’ve spotted it in the wild a few more times, I don’t want to inadvertently offend.
It’s interesting the way meanings change over time, too. Both geek and punk were once things you’d never want to call yourself.

I finished Trixie’s Bubble dress up to hand sewing the bodice and buttons/buttonholes. Hugo was studying for exams so her nursed *held* her so I could get stuck in.
I couldn’t finish the sewing as the house was filling with insects. I have no idea how they all got in but they were going for the lights. So annoying as Jed was reaping until 1:30 and…[Read more] -

Justine is spot on with dag.
The dress style of ‘daggy’ is less complimentary, ‘dag’ is more affectionate.A true dag is a product of sheep waste and wool, don’t google image it.
Crayon here.
We now regularly use ‘amaze balls’ and ‘awesome sauce’ in our current vernacular. We call them ‘britterism’s’ from the awesome Brittney.
I definitely use…[Read more]

Robin, the colloquial meaning of ‘dag’ here can mean a few thing – it can describe someone’s dress style (negative), it can refer to an ‘uncool/nerdy type’ person, or it can be used in an affectionate way (also suggesting a nerdy type, but lovingly!). Btw – DO NOT Google it to check it’s more formal meaning 😉

Nicole has said Tildy is a dag, I think it means cute/funny — she was doing a cute pose in a photo. I’m not sure if it’s something you call your own kid, but it would be too familiar to call somebody else’s kid a dag? Can it apply to animals or nonliving objects?

Also not a dealbreaker, but when I read from my phone the right margin of the post bleeds off the edge where I can’t see it. I tried to shrink my screen, no luck. It’s just off the edge. I use a Galaxy S5 so the screen is plenty large.
