My kid is 8 years old, she loves normal 'girly' things like clothes and jewelry I guess, as well as books, video games, gadgets, etc.
I'm doing pretty okay financially these days, so I can afford some of the higher-end things (as in higher-than-I'd-normally-spend-end) and think I have it narrowed down to a few things for the 'big' xmas present:
An mp3/video player of some sort. I got her a cheapo mp3 player for her birthday, and she loved it, but it was a piece of junk and doesn't work anymore. iPod? Is she old enough to have an iPod? They are frikkin' expensive, and I'd hate to get her something she might break or lose. On the other hand, there's a few new brands of players that play music and videos, and cost way less.
A Sony PSP. I was trolling through some of the game titles they have for this, and saw a lot of kid's games she'd like. (This makes future giftgiving easier, too) As an added bonus, it plays mp3s and videos. I think she would literally pee her pants with glee if she got one of these. Same as above re: break or lose it though.
A bunch of really sweet-ass clothes and kiddie bling. Come on, what kid doesn't like to show off their cool duds at school? But, man. I fuckin' *hated* getting clothes for christmas when I was a kid. Unless it was really cool clothes, which I'm capable of picking out.
Anyone else have some ideas? I tried asking her what she asked santa for, and she was all evasive and shit. Kids.
