When your children become obsessed with something, it can be hard to come up with gift ideas to match that obsession. We ran into that problem when both of our sons became obsessed with playing Minecraft – and they decided they also wanted Minecraft Toys and Minecraft themed birthday parties! Needless to say, that we …
