Just to clarify, I am not really worried about spoiling her. Honestly, I love getting her gifts and surprising her, so this is probably more about me than about her. I think an outing and a book is the way I will go for this year and continue it every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/end-of-school-year-gift#post-2735163 Fri, 12 May 2017 08:28:09 +0000 bhbee 2735163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wouldn't have a problem with a gift but if it's going to be a yearly expectation I like the book and outing ideas a lot. I love traditions around doing things together.<br /> I am getting my daughter a new backpack and lunchbox for pre k graduation. She needs them anyway but I figure it's a fun way to celebrate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/end-of-school-year-gift#post-2735149 Fri, 12 May 2017 08:16:36 +0000 Mamaof2 2735149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cereal: I probably wouldn't do a gift but a fun outing would be great- let her choose :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/end-of-school-year-gift#post-2735147 Fri, 12 May 2017 08:12:39 +0000 looch 2735147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is a great idea, but then again, I am super not worried about spoiling my child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/end-of-school-year-gift#post-2735135 Fri, 12 May 2017 07:52:32 +0000 erinbaderin 2735135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this idea! Maybe you could do a bit of a combination - an outing plus a trip to the bookstore to pick out a special book? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/end-of-school-year-gift#post-2735085 Fri, 12 May 2017 04:51:10 +0000 Andrea 2735085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my daughter on a special outing last year. Maybe that would seem less like "spoiling"? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/end-of-school-year-gift#post-2735046 Thu, 11 May 2017 22:45:16 +0000 PinkElephant 2735046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you want a small tangible gift, What about a book that you feel sums up her year - related to an accomplishment, special interest, or just a book she's really liked that year. You could buy personalized bookplates and write the year/a message in each one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/end-of-school-year-gift#post-2735041 Thu, 11 May 2017 22:27:11 +0000 MommySLP 2735041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cereal: I think it's a fun idea--my mom did this while we were growing up, but instead of a gift we had a special outing/event. She was a teacher, so I think she was celebrating too! What about going to see a movie &amp; getting frozen yogurt or something like that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/end-of-school-year-gift#post-2734993 Thu, 11 May 2017 20:58:48 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2734993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is about to finish her first year of school. She has been pretty amazing during the past year, and I sort of want to celebrate the end of the school year by getting her a gift. I am concerned about spoiling her, so I am not sure if this is the right thing to do. I am prepared to make this a yearly thing, like a celebratory thing that happens at the end of each school year. What do you think? Good idea/bad idea? </p>
