I'm her grandma. I give her lots of books. We have loved collecting Little People but I think she may be outgrowing them. I'm looking for something she might want to spend some time with and probably play with alone.
All your answers are SO great! Thanks so much! She has MegaBlocks which are like big legos. Of course, she has a Cabbage Patch doll and a Cabbage Patch newborn. I've gotten several sets of Fisher Price "Little People." (I love them too.) She does still play with them a lot. She has a great imagination. I'll give her mom a call to help me pick. Your ideas should help me with her birthday and Christmas. Thanks.

one of my favorite gifts to give to both boys and girls of ages from 3-8 or 9 is an art pack.
I begin with a fishing tackle type box and in the sections of the top I put in things like small rulers, stickers, roll of tape, colored pencils, pens/pencils, scissors, paper clips, and other assorted supplies. In the bottom or larger section I place things like various sizes of markers, crayons, notepads, other drawing tools like stencils . And then I decorate the outside with the childs name, and stickers.
then in another bag or briefcase(even the paper or cloth ones work well--and the child feels like a grownup when they use it. Inside I place things like assorted types of paper, colored(get good quality) drawing paper (get a few different types some for markers, some just for pencils, and some for painting) and maybe add an idea book or two (but no coloring books)
All of these ideas should also be based on the age of the child. and should be used with adult supervision until you are sure the child will use them correctly and safely.
I have been told fequently that these are sometimes the favorite gift that a child has recieved at a bithday party...it allows them to explore different types of art mediums and gives them good self esteem about their work and encourages them to take care of their things.
My own children also recieved similar gifts from me and always bring them up when they talk about gifts they have enjoyed the most....my youngest hated having to give up her "box" when she went to college--it had been with her since she was about 8 and she kept all of her "special" art supplies in it and hid her favorite pens and pencils in it to keep them from her sister.

Birthday gift help for 20 year old boy!?
itsallgood
My boyfriend of 3 1/2 years is turning 20 mid may and I have NO idea what to get him! I usually buy him something for his birthday and make him something for christmas, so I'd like to buy him something this year, and preferably something somewhat "better" than usual since it is the big 20! Any ideas? He is a pretty laid back guy, tech savvy, likes video games, comics, being active, trying new things, music, etc... and he's a sophomore in college. Any ideas would be helpful! Thanks!

Since you guys have been going out for so long you get him like a watch or a lighter and put your picture on it so it's all personalized.
