The Gifted Goat

The Gifted Goat has “unusual gifts for all occasions”. A stripped down text list to the left presents all categories in a naked simplicity. A recto-linear green and gray design gives the eyes a break from the standard multi-colored mess of most sites out there. It would be hardly possible to not find an appropriate gift from the list mentioned here. To be fair, the sub-category items are not outlined, and it would be more useful to visit the site. Nonetheless, the following categories are useful.

The Gifted Goat contains baby gifts, candles, children’s wear, Christmas, collectibles, decorative items, garden items, greeting cards, jewelry, laser art, mobiles, other toys, outdoor toys, photo frames, picnic accessories, pretend play, puppets, soft toys, stationary, tin toys, tooth fairy pillows, wooden toys, bricks and blocks, cars and trucks, counting games, dolls/accessories, doll houses, games, motor activity, musical instruments, push and pull along, puzzles, rocking toys, ride on toys, and trains/train sets. You probably were excited a bit at some point on the list because it’s hard to find a child that doesn’t like at least some of the items.

Taking one of the categories and providing a few examples comes up with a childrens’ garden bag, croquet game, mole wooden crazy golf game, skipping rope with cow handles, and rubber ducks. These, of course, arise out of the outdoor category. Several dozen other toys are listed, but these were unusually funny. Don’t fret because bricks and blocks games are good for introverted, shy kids that like to stay indoors.

Aside from the offerings available, the site itself loads each page quickly, provides an easy form-based contact mechanism, and abounds with customer testimonials from several places. The Gifted Goat distinguishes itself with a few muted colors and a rational approach to finding gifts.
