--Large trucks/cars to bang around.
>13-year old girl (girly girl teen. leaning towards gift card)
--Gift card in a pretty card or box or a set of dangly earrings.
>10-year old girl (ummmmmmmmmmmmmm)
--Need more info on her personality.
I'm getting my niece an 18" doll with a set of clothes and a book about hand sewing so she can make more.

Maybe a cute little girl's travel bag with some goodies inside that she can take from house to house.

10 year old girl is kinda mellow. very inquisitive, kind of matter-of-fact....sadly, i'm not too up to speed on her full personality as I haven't spent nearly as much time with her as an uncle should :(
7 year old girl is very hyper too. She's a girly girly indeed. I highlighted her living situation as I figured that would provide more insight into her practical needs. I like the bag idea a lot though. I was trying to thing of something she could carry with her from house to house.

12675714, For the 10-year-old, a book.

A simple girl's book like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Daring-Book-Girls-Andrea-Buchanan/dp/0062208969/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1418662295&sr=1-1&keywords=girls+guide&pebp=1418662301867
And tuck a gift card in it for B&N or some book store.

Something to do with activity, like a little jewelry-making kit:

or a journal to write in. Something simple but that's her own.

>3-year old boy (VERY active, hyper, fun fella)
bike or big wheel
>13-year old girl (girly girl teen. leaning towards gift card)
target gift card (you will not find a gift for her)
>10-year old girl (ummmmmmmmmmmmmm)
Target gift card
>7-year old girl (active, but splits time between mom's house &
>dad's house & grandma's house & any house that's got the time
>to look after her)
target gift card....

12675626, LOL @ ALL the Target gift cards....but that's where I was stuck at too...
Posted by FLUIDJ, Mon Dec-15-14 11:09 AM
figured there HAD to be SOMETHING else....
For my nephew, can't do the bike or bigwheel....I feel like those are the types of things a kid should receive from their parent or grand parent.... don't ask me why...just something about them always screamed Parent Gift.

12675629, You know...books are HARD...like REAL HARD...never thought that
Posted by FLUIDJ, Mon Dec-15-14 11:12 AM
way before we had a child though....
books were my go-to...
but what happens is, unless you KNOW their library and reading habits, it's just hard to get a book that they don't already have, haven't already checked out a million times at the library, or just read and hated, or the parents don't enjoy reading it, etc...
We have like 5 copies of The Snowy Day
2 copies of Please Baby Please
multiple copies of various other fairly popular books lol...
we appreciate them indeed, and ultimately pass the extras on down the line....
I like the idea of giving books....just, now that I've been on the receiving end of them....I see how easy it is to miss the mark.
