Birthday gifts for someone else's child is very difficult. You don't know what they like. Gifts are expensive and shopping is time consuming. Birthday parties use to be easier and smaller.
Those days of easy and small parties are gone. The days when you might only need to purchase 4-5 birthday gifts a year are gone. We all know why. There is a new rule. This rule says you must invite everyone in your child's day care, nursery school, preschool or kindergarten class. Unlike the old rule, which was just common sense, this new rule is written in the MANUAL.
Now you are expected to purchase anywhere from 6 to 20 birthday gifts a year. Not only is this time consuming. It is expensive. You end up buying whatever is cheap, which often means it is not a great toy. Often the child isn't even interested in what he has received or the birthday parent does not let their child play with the gift. It is lose-lose.
