| We are going to a summer bday for friend whose child is turning 7 this weekend, rising second grade. Any thoughtful gift ideas for a girl who has everything? My kids are 14 and 12 so we don’t remember and I want to be somewhat thoughtful! |
| Craft kits |
| Lego. It’s hard to have too much. Some sets with really basic, flexible bricks are great to have in multiples. It lets kids build bigger things with matching bricks. |
| I'd go with an enamel necklace or charm bracelet. Nothing too expensive. Under $50. |
Of course! Let’s train out kids early on to be materialistic and vain! |
|
Agree about things like craft kits that are fun but consumable. My DD loved perler beads at that age or get her a kit for friendship bracelet-making.
I also always include a book in a birthday gift to a younger kid. |
| +1 for consumable craft kits. If she likes Taylor swift, you could get her a big box of letter beads for making friendship bracelets |
| I like card games or board games that she can play with friends or with family. Some of our favorite at that age were: Sleeping Queens, Sushi Go, Rat a Tat Cat, Blockus, Uno (and its many iterations), Taco vs Burrito. |
| I’d do a little kit of fun art supplies: scented markers, stickers, glitter glue, etc. |
| Check the invitation! I’d be shocked if someone had a party that wasn’t “please no gifts.” |

Pencil case that looks like a cup of bubble tea.
Raina Telgemaier jigsaw puzzle. |
| $50 gift card. |
That's a lot of money for a 7 YO birthday! |
|
Bookstore giftcard. Water guns (unless the parents disapprove of water guns). Just draw/paint a nice card.
NOTHING WITH A LOT OF SMALL PIECES (except LEGO). |
More than one is too much in this house since nobody here plays with them at all. |
