[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have birthdays in May and July and it's nice because it's far enough away from Christmas that they can get summer-y toys and clothes for gifts too.  July is tough because he's the youngest in his class, but he also gets to have a pool party and it's a nice excuse to see friends over the summer that he otherwise might not see until fall. [/quote]

Having a birthday in the spring is great for getting summer/warm weather clothes and other items (sporting goods for warm weather sports, for instance). It counterbalances Christmas which is a good time to give someone a sweater or coat, ski gear, etc.

My husband loves when I buy him clothes and it's often the top of his list for Christmas but his birthday is in mid-August and it's just a dumb time to buy clothes because the warm season is more than half over at that point, but he's still months from being able to wear a sweater.

As a result he often gets more gifts for Father's Day than his birthday. Oh well.[/quote]
