Sure! I think bibs would work great. Dummies too, maybe.

It's a sign that the GNOME crowd are getting old... last year the kid
size shirts sold out in under an hour flat. There's a lot of parents,
and they do like to take home pressies from their week away from home. I
would guess that there will be more parents of babies, toddlers and
infants than bigger kids, but I don't think I'm atypical with kids aged
8, 5 and 3.

Do we need a survey to get some numbers? I'd say pick 2 types of
products (t-shirts and body-suits for clothes, and one other thing -
maybe dummies or bibs) and get 10 of each size up to 10 years old (older
than 10 an adult S sized t-shirt is probably OK).

Cheers,
Dave.
