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.

I'm So Clueless - Birthday Gift For 19 Yr. Old Boy?
cherrylips
In early May, the boy who I dated for the majority of my senior year is gonna be celebrating his 19th birthday. He and I broke up recently, but we may be getting back together at some point (kinda depends on what day you catch us, lol).
I have absolutely no idea what to do for him for his birthday. I'm running out of options -
1. I was recently fired from my job and am very close to broke, so I can't afford to buy anything extravagant.
2. I can't cook/bake him anything (which would be my normal response, since I love to cook) because he's having a dinner party at his house and is insisting on cooking it all himself.
He's a punk, for lack of a better word. Really loves ska and punk rock music. His clothing is bold, colorful, and obnoxious. If I had money, I would buy him clothing or something, like I did for Christmas, but with my funds being so tight, I can't afford to.
I like to sew, and was considering possibly picking up a pattern for ties or some other gentleman's accessory (he loves that kind of stuff) and making them with a really bold fabric, but I'm not sure if I'm experienced enough with sewing to pull that off without screwing it up somehow.
He also likes films (movie-making in particular), reading, music, and many other things.
PLEASE, I'm desperate for an idea, here. I have until May 9.
Umm, I have no idea why this was posted in Languages. That was not of my own doing.
