xmass Advice

I need some advice, with out going in to great detail. Every year at this time I “sponsor" a single Mom and her kids, This year the Mother I’m helping has a Daughter is 15, Son is 13 , 2nd Daughter is 11 and Youngest Daughter is almost 9 .

I need help, as I have no idea what kids this age would like to have for an xmas gift. The families in the past have had infants and my gifts were very simple.

Please give me some ideas for each as I’m running out of time. I would think gifts under $40.00 each would be in my budget.

Thanks for your help!!

Hmmm. I think you maybe did not want to post this in the sexuality forum?


I hope? :P

Without knowing the kids, or their personalities.. it makes it tough - congrats on doing this.

When I've done this in the past - me being kid-agnostic - i tend to ask kids around the same age group in a store I'm in what they might like - helps to narrow it down a little. (make sure the mom who's with the kid knows why you are askig)

th 15 year old girl, would probably want clothes -maybe a gift certificate to a reasonably priced clothing store... (where she coould get something for 40 dollars)

the 13 year old boy - sporting equipment or some sort of handheld video game?

The 11 year old girl - books from the young adult series of books at barnes andnoble?

the 9 year old girl - a doll of some sort

Check out http://www.gifts.com/ - they might have some ideas to steer you in the right direction
