I need three to five articles (internet links) on the growing trend of
customized toys for children. For instance: books featuring the name
or picture of the child, viedo games with a likeness of the child,
movies staring the child - anything. It could even be as simple as
custom clothing for children.

Anyone out there able to help me build a case?
