Gift buying for nieces/nephews
Posted on 11/22/14 at 8:15 pm

So I'm a relatively new godparent (she just turned 1). Been through two gift buying scenarios already, where i got her a sweet Flintstones car and a jewelry box with a dancing balerena, as i feel those are staple gifts for youngen's. But here comes Christmas..
I'd like to stay in two criteria: Things she will have/use forever, or the first in a series of gifts that all correspond.
What do yuo guys get youngens/godchildren as gifts?

I usually get my nephew and niece something loud to play with.
I expect full retaliation from my brother if I ever have kids.

If you want a forever/long term gift, go with a savings bond or jewelry. She's 1, but her ears may be pierced.

We got my oldest a really good wagon when she was 1...she just turned 13 and it went through 3 kids and we finally retired it.
Lifetime hunting/fishing license is always a good investment--it's much cheaper when they're under 5.

In the younger years, we open and add to a savings account for them, along with a couple of books for a hands on gift..Especially if family is many.Parents, grandparents, aunts,uncles and friends. Ours get so much stuff along with clothes, etc. Birthdays and Christmas time are just loaded down.Also give a silver dollar for Christmas.

Bonds or coins-- something worthwhile

The investment route is good(contribute to a savings acct/bonds/coins etc) but make sure to actually get them a cool toy or something they can actually unwrap, play with and appreciate now.
I received many "investment" gifts over the years. One uncle would give me a check for $1000 every Christmas. Sure that's badass now, but at 5 I hated his gift b/c it wasn't a toy.

When my nieces were 1-7 years old you could never go wrong with a doll.

My nieces by the time they were 8 or 9 liked to shop (pick out their own clothes) and liked Old Navy gift cards.
