OP, that is pretty sad.  Do you think you can call and ask the mom if you could take the kid out for lunch, just the two of you?

Actually as I'm thinking about it, the first lunch I had with my niece was with her mom and me.  It was because my niece was interested in finding out/applying to the school my (slightly older) kids go to.

I still managed to have a great conversation with her.  It was a significant change in the dynamic, because it wasn't the usual--- the two families getting together and cousins hanging out with cousins, and adults hanging out with adults.

I think at that lunch, the mom got more comfortable with the idea that I could spend time with my niece alone.

Anyways it might be worth a phone call, OP, just to see if it's a possibility (either the two of you or the three of you).  I know you'd rather get her a "thing" but this could be better.  Maybe at that lunch you could figure out what that "thing" could be.  Maybe your excuse to go to lunch alone with your neice is that you really want to get her something great and want to take her to lunch to discuss it with her.[/quote]
