I gifted the alphabet ones and those story cards that don't have words.</p> <p>I need to get on the go to gift for this year, I am thinking Rory's Story Cubes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-loschool-friend#post-2611604 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 12:32:36 +0000 MamaG 2611604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a Paw Patrol party at 4 and a Frozen party at 5 - we got many gifts that related to the them for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-loschool-friend#post-2611603 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 12:31:58 +0000 MamaG 2611603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our four year old go to gift was "Spot it" and a book or two in the theme of the party.</p> <p>Our five year old go to gift is "Trouble" and a gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-loschool-friend#post-2611602 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 12:31:01 +0000 looch 2611602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hrm, this didn't even occur to me, to get a gift that goes with the theme. I typically gift really neutral stuff though, you never know what the parents allow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-loschool-friend#post-2611601 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 12:28:17 +0000 autumnlove 2611601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would avoid it and get something different. We had a Pete party and we received a few dupe Pete gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-loschool-friend#post-2611596 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 12:19:23 +0000 PinkElephant 2611596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she likes Pete the Cat enough to have a themed party, she's probably got a lot of the "stuff" already....so I'd avoid it. But you can always do a gift receipt, or something else cat-themed if you think it's cats in general that she's into.</p> <p>Recently I've been buying four year old girls Melissa &amp; Doug Jewlery kits, dress up wings, pipsqueak marker sets, Crocodile Creek floor puzzles, etc. If you really want to cater to a child's interest, you could ask DD what she does with this friend at school - dress up? art? - and go from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-loschool-friend#post-2611595 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 12:12:19 +0000 kiddosc 2611595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just get something my own kid would like and include a gift receipt. At 4, they all pretty much have the same interests anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-loschool-friend#post-2611519 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 10:16:57 +0000 misolee 2611519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that LO is turning 4, she's getting invited to a lot of her school friends bday parties. I know their parents by name and face and we talk at school events but that's it. </p> <p>Her friend is having a "theme" party. Let's say for this example... Pete the Cat. Should I get her a Pete the Cat themed gift? or something else...and if it's something else...what? I don't really know what she likes.</p> <p>I'm stressing way too much on a 4 year old's gift.. </p>
