I'm probably not going to do anything though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-tradition#post-78786 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:14:54 +0000 heffalump 78786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunshine44: love your book idea.

Id love to start a tradition ... I just have to figure out what id want around the house that she'll continue to love as she grows. Maybe music boxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-tradition#post-78774 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:58:42 +0000 sunshine44 78774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: what a great idea!! I totally want to do something like that too, but dunno what to do.<br /> How about a links of london charm bracelet, and u can add a charm for each life event? Or how about a book each year that marks something special about that year? I would love to hear other people's ideas for this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-tradition#post-78097 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 22:38:49 +0000 anbanan15 78097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gor these until I was 16. I loved getting them and they used to be displayed in my room during most of my childhood: <a href="http://www.oldtowngifts.com/htmls_enesco/enesco_growing_up_birthday_girls_brunette.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldtowngifts.com/htmls_enesco/enesco_growing_up_birthday_girls_brunette.htm</a> (I noticed they sell a charm bracelet version which might be a neat alternative and I love the idea of adding new charms for milestones!)</p> <p>I was thinking about doing these Lenox ones for DS which you can add to yearly, but I'm not sure considering he's a boy: <a href="http://www.lenox.com/cat/index.cfm?fuseaction=pers&#038;pid=8405&#038;kf=e4294966211&#038;pagenum=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.lenox.com/cat/index.cfm?fuseaction=pers&#038;pid=8405&#038;kf=e4294966211&#038;pagenum=1</a></p> <p>We also do a similar thing for Christmas with an ornament every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-tradition#post-78064 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:22:40 +0000 mediagirl 78064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I love the tradition of the same type of gift every year. Your daughter will look forward to it! And yes, the problem is, making sure they're still available through the years!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-tradition#post-78062 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:18:14 +0000 chopsuey 78062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: you should totally give them to your daughter! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-tradition#post-78051 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:55:43 +0000 mediagirl 78051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Mom got me all of these until I was 18. They're packed in a box in my closet. I was thinking of re-gifting them to my daughter. Is that weird? I would have to buy a couple of them that broke, though.<br /> <a href="http://josefdolls.com/josef-doll-year-three/" rel="nofollow">http://josefdolls.com/josef-doll-year-three/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-tradition#post-78042 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:29:34 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 78042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH plans to buy our son a hot wheels car for all major life events...

I'm leaning more towards yes than no, but we shall see. </p> <p>Are you planning on starting a birthday tradition for your LO? Or have you already started something? </p>
