I find this hard when we don't know the child all that well. But, her best friend's birthday is coming up so I took our daughter to the Disney store and told her to pick out anything she wanted. She walked through the entire store, touching everything and finally grabbed a Minnie Mouse doll. She handed it to me and said, "She can cuddle with this when she sleeps."

Do you let your child pick out their friends birthday gifts? Do you pick them out and ask for approval?
