The older they get…the harder to buy for

My daughter was invited to a girl’s 11th birthday party. It seems to me like the older kids get the harder they are to buy for. This is especially true for kids that I don’t really know. I know what my daughter is in to (and she’s 9), but I have no clue what this child is into or even what types of things she already has. So we bought her a game of trouble. You really can’t go wrong with board games. And even if she did already own this game, pieces get lost of wrecked so they can always use a spare. This is the first present that I have had to purchase for a child that is over the age of 8 that I don’t really know and let me tell you it was a hard choice to make. I can’t wait until the kids start getting older and older. I think then I will be sticking with gift cards.

you’re right!! that IS a hard one! my son is now 14. but i remember when he started going to a lot of birthday parties. i would sometimes phone the parent and ask them what the child liked.
but yeah, a gift card is probably a safe bet.
