Is this gift suitable for a 9 year old? Is it “too old”?
I asked this before but I think some people got confused. My (soon to be) 9 year old daughter isn’t a fan of dolls, Hannah montana, toys of any sort (except soft toys): she loves ballet and clothes. She’s already got lots of ballet things. She has an iPod (which she hardly uses!) but I don’t think she NEEDS a cellphone right now.
This year I wanted to give her something different, something sentimental. I was thinking a nice photo album with pictures of her and I in it. So, a few pictures of her and I when she was newborn, when she was one yr, when she was two yr etc. I also wanted to insert a longish message telling her how much I love her and that illakways be there for her etc.
Since I am away from her 7 weeks at a time I thought this might comfort her. But is this gift “too old” for a nine year old?
We go to ballet concert every Sunday…she’s been IN ballet concerts…remember her dad and aunts and uncle and cousins will be getting her clothes etc
I LOVE this idea! I think your daughter will find it to be a very special gift and will cherish it forever. She is not too young to want something such as this. I enjoyed pictures of my parents when they were little when I was that age, insert some like that also. Just recently my husband and I sent pictures to his daughter (my stepdaughter) to show her 5 year old twin girls. They were already asking “What did you look like mommy?” at such a young age. And I do believe that she will find comfort in it while the two of you are apart, especially the pic’s of both of you together. This is a great, creative gift that she will cherish forever. I wish more parents would think of ideas such as this instead of giving them the high tech expensive things.
