Question Toy Box and Buttons Bows & Twinkletoes?

I'm finalizing my last retired list order. I a hobby demo so showing these sets is not an issue. I have these 2 set on my list, but I'm not sure. I keep hearing how much these sets are loved by some. So I need to know should I get these or skip them? What do you think? Thanks for any input. Oh one last ? what do you think of Birthday Banter?

I love both sets, own one and I borrow the other from a friend. I held off getting toy box for several years and finally bought and do not regret it at all. It can be used for scrapbooking and making cards. Hope that helps.

I have "Toy Box" and love it for little boy cards and scrapbook pages. For me it is a must with 4 boys! I recommend you get it, because there is nothing like it in the new catalog. HTH

I have Toy Box and Birthday Banter. I don't like Toy Box as much as I thought I would, I did make some cute valentine cards for my son and a cool father's day basesball card for my dh. If you have boys, I would say it's a good investment.

I LOVE Birthday Banter. I use it all the time. The cow just KILLS me. I use her for everything!!!

I have lots of little grandchildren and great nieces & nephews in my family and both of these sets are great for making birthday cards for them; would be good for get well card, too. I can even see using some of the toy box stamps in a card for a man using the old saying "The only difference between boys and men are the size of their toys". I love both of these sets. Just used Buttons, Bows & Twinkletoes twice this week for birthday cards.

Default I think girl stamps are easily available...

but boy stamps are much harder to get. For example, I bought a shoe and dress stamps at Michaels for $1.50 each. But there weren't any boy stamps....

I have both a son and a daughter and thought that Toy Box would be useful for both (there's nothing to say a girl can't roller skate or play baseball!). I am using them for cards and scrapbook pages for both children. Twinkletoes and bows would only have worked for my daughter.

As I could only afford to get one set, Toy Box was more versatile.

I have Birthday Banter and I LOVE it ... I use it all the time! It's my sense of humour ... that was a "must have" for me!

I've had BB and love it too! Very useful, especially for a middle-age person.

I just got TB and think it's going to be a good investment. I really don't have any kids' stamps.
