BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!! Aug 30

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!! Aug 30 '00 If your children are like mine then they are always receiving invitations to birthday parties. A party at Chuck E. Cheese's last week, another one at McDonalds next week. We have even had a few times when my daughter was at Chuck E. Cheese's and my son was at McDonalds for two different parties at the same time. Birthday parties for children get expensive. When an invitation to one comes in if you are not prepared with a gift for the party then it can ruin the weekly budget. Buying the gift, wrapping paper and a card. It adds up. It adds up especially when there are so many of these parties to go to. Once the school year begins the invitations begin coming in. It gets expensive. So I have devised a few plans to help me battle the birthday party expenses. When wrapping the gift try to RECYCLE your old newspapers. A great and fun way to wrap a gift for a child is to use the newspaper. My daughter sits and cuts out letters from the newspaper to make a card. We use the YOU BORN TODAY in the horoscope section to make a card that is personalized. You can be very creative with a newspaper. We also use the comics section to wrap the gift. My children make all of their own cards for Birthday parties. My daughter has made cards that are fun by cutting out the crossword puzzle section and pasting it into her card. She has added the word jumble and her own coloring and imagination and made some really nice cards for her friends. She has cut individual letters out of the paper and put the friend's name on it. For the younger child's party it is not necessary to wrap the gift. If you are invited to the party of a one year old or even a two year old I think it is silly to wrap the gift. I make bags for those parties using paper grocery bags that the kids can decorate. For the smaller child the mom is usually the package unwrapper and I think it is easier to just reach in and take the present out rather than to make it long and drawn out. Using recyclables to wrap a present saves money and it is a lot of fun. It takes more time and more thought than spending 4.00 on a sheet of wrapping paper, but if you have the plan in mind it is easy to do. Buying the present itself can also add up. I shop at the clearance sections and keep things on hand. Kaybee has a great toyclearance section to purchase gifts for parties. I put these things away and pull them out when I need them. If I dont happen to have anything on hand then when I go to purchase an item I usually buy two. This way I can put the item away for the next party. If the next party doesnt happen then I have a stocking stuffer for one of my own children. I try to buy items that are classic toys. I do not purchase the trendy stuff. I put coloring books and markers and paint brushes away. A great gift for an older child is a disposable camera. The child can use it at the party. I purchase these when I see them on sale and put them away for the birthday parties. School supplies are also a good gift. Blank books, notebooks, pens pencils. These can be picked up inexpensively when they are on sale and they can be put away. Presents for Birthday parties can be a lot of fun to purchase and to wrap. We make the wrapping be a lot of fun.

Birthday Gift Suggestions Berkeley

Berkeley Parents Network: Birthday Gift Suggestions Berkeley Parents Network Home Members Post a Msg Reviews Advice Join BPN Help/FAQ What's New Search Birthday Gift Suggestions Berkeley Parents Network Advice Birthdays Bday Gifts Birthday Gift Suggestions Gift Ideas for 3 year old Dinosaur Gifts for 4-y-o 50th Birthday Gift Birthday Gifts for Grandparents Gift Ideas for 3 year old Oct 1996 About birthday gifts for 3 year olds-- my daughter turned 3 this summer asdid four friends. I finally settled on Playschool flashlights from Toys R Usfor under $10 ($14 at Mr Mopps.) They turn white, red and green, & go off automatically after so much timehas elapsed. One family even used theirs during the summer west coast poweroutage as it was the only flashlight in the house. Good for boys & girls.Also my friend got kites for her gifts--gets kids and parents together too.Tavie At this age (and later, too) we usually give the birthday child eithera jigsaw puzzle or a couple of books. If you look around you can findsome good puzzles in the $5-$8 range, and a couple of picture books,soft cover, will be about the same. That way you don't get into issuesover guns, barbie dolls, etc. Of course, if you know the kid personallyyourself, and know they have a particular interest in collecting bugsor some such thing, then you can look for something along those lines.Dianna To Karen - shopping for a 3 year old girl's B-day party - I often askthe parents when I RSVP to the party if their child has any particularinterests (or aversions), and that prevents buying weapons or Barbie dollsfor families that forbid that type of thing. Having a 7 year old and a 4year old, I am now at the point where I let them choose the gift within acertain price range if they know the child and have an opinion. When indoubt - art supplies are always good - for 3 year olds, play dough or newcrayons, a pack of construction paper, or that type of thing is alwaysappreciated. ToysRUs actually has some good art sets with crayons, pencils,etc. for under $15. Price wise, I try to stay between $10 and $15 unlessthe child is a family friend. Hope this helps. It gets worse as they getolder, as they get invited to more and more parties. I'm hoping with myolder one to have a small slumber party this year and limit the number ofkids and the expectation of a huge haul of toys. Good luck!Helen I am a mother of a 5 year old boy and a 7 year old girl. I have beenfaced with many birthday gifts so far and have come up with thefollowing suggestions. The simplest way to chose a gift for a child is to ask the parentswhat the child likes. The parents are usually appreciative of yourthoughtfulness and always have an idea or two. A general price rangeof $10 to $15 is safe, more than that is unnecessary. If you have aboy of the same age, ask yourself which toys does he like that a girlmight like too. You would be surprised by how many things would workas a gift for both girls and boys.Sharon Home | Reviews | Advice | Members | Post a Message Join BPN | Help | What's New | Search Please send questions and comments to Berkeley Parents Network .
