Birthday gifts

[Deleted]

I feel like we just has Christmas, but what are you getting your child for their 6th birthday?

So far all I have is a Belle dress for our Disney trip, she might change her mind on that too who knows! I’m not sure what else to get her. We have sooo many Legos, so even though she loves those I kind of don’t want to get any.

B asked for a marble run, but other than that I have no idea. I also don’t know what to get my almost 3 year old who is also April. Plus, add in Easter and I’m totally at a loss!

Were getting Blake a bike. He’s got a smaller one that no longer fits and he’s always had issues due to his motor planning and it would always turn real sharp as soon as he got going on it, so he would get real frustrated. We’re taking him a bike shop to get him ‘fitted’ and make sure it will work. It’s going to be more expensive, but if we can get him riding, it will be worth it!

I regret not going to a bike store for A’s first bike. I am next time! Hers now is just not good quality. I’m hoping she can make it on her 16” until next year but idk when they outgrow that size.

She’s getting a music box with spinning ballerinas, a book, and a Betta fish from us. Her aunt got the Dr Seuss All About Me book, and a crystal growing lab. My dad got her a mermaid grotto that’s paint it yourself, and a mermaid tail blanket. That’s it so far.

Oh a crystal growing lab sounds like something A would love!

We got Adeline a bunch of crap from Five Below and also a toy claw machine from Amazon. It was the best birthday ever.

Umm, we went to Disney for birthdays this year. So no help.

She did get the Cinderella lego set, bibbidi bobbidi boutique (she picked belle), the perfectly princess tea, several shirts, dresses, toys, stuffed animals/princesses, basically anything she touched....oops. Don't ask about big brother on his 8th birthday while there, he got everything he did touch on his actual birthday.

She is opening an AG horse today so she gets something ON her birthday.

[kkfeb04]

Oh and she did ask if we are going to Disney since her birthday is today. For the past two weeks she's been telling me she needs to move there since that's where princesses live.

Peyton’s birthday was last week. We got her her first chapter book series. The Fairy Unicorn series from Usborne. She’s also been begging to get her ears pierced, but I haven’t decided yet.

[ktstorm]

We're doing an overnight trip to the city for Dave and Buster's and the aquarium. (He asked to go somewhere that we could stay in a hotel with a pool).

He's really into board games and I'm thinking we'll get him battleship or mousetrap, plus some Legos and a book.

[mlkgls]

G is getting a playset for his birthday. I’ve also told him it should cover the next few birthdays and holidays. Lol. Other than that he’s getting a cake and Pokémon cards.

I really hope they can find something that works for him. The one we have now is just a 12” I think so wayyy too little. I was hoping Colt would be able to use it this summer, but he’s 40” tall now so I’m afraid he’ll be too big too.

We have one of those indoor water park hotels opening near our house soon. He asked to go there, so we will probably go one weekend.

Ooh, I think I’m going to steal this! I need a few small, inexpensive ideas to go along with G’s playset.

[PatBenatar]

Ahhh I can't believe the kiddos are turning 6!

I think we're going to get her a book and a craft and then take her to an indoor water park. She has so much stuff already.

Ada has been asking to get hers pierced too.  I really do not want to deal with taking care of them though, so I'm attempting to delay as long as possible lol

Coupons are a cute idea!  I might do a few of those

Exactly! I don’t want to keep up with it all. And I’m allergic to the nickel and copper found in most cheap jewelry, so I’m dreading Pey will be the same and have fewer options.

Bike will be the big present

she wants to get her ears pierced, and then some little sewing things and some fabric

[fryjack2]

We just got back from 10 days in Europe which we told them was part of their bday gift.

They are getting more ( sigh) legos from family members and I added the NG rock kits to their list. Plus membership renewals to a the museums here.

They only want and ask for legos these days.

Does she sew on an adult machine or did you get her a different kind? A has been asking to sew, but I wasn’t sure if she’d be able to use my machine.

I gave her a basic Brother sewing machine, so yes an adult one. She can't quite thread it yet, but I'm sure it won't take long to get there, and she can use the peddle just fine. I don't like how flimsy the "kid" sewing machines are.

Daniel’s birthday was last week, we got this as his main gift and he loves it. I kind of want one too 😂.

I bought it on amazon.

jg183 - The coupons were a hit!! I used a birthday coupon word template and my laminator to make them and he’s been asking non-stop to use them.

Mostly the “One Trip to the Park” coupon. 😂

I can’t believe my baby is 6!!

Word had a cute design template with bright colors that was perfect; all I had to do was edit to be specific for Gavin. I made duplicates of the things we do fairly often. 

• Trip to the Park
• Trip to the Zoo
• One Trip to the Museum
• One Bike Ride
• Trip to McD Playground
• One Walk around the Neighborhood
• One Family Game Night
• One Movie Night
• One Ticket to the Movies
