[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op -- what's on the list? Is the stuff expensive? Is it off the beaten path stuff you would not have known about?[/quote]

Not really? A specific brand of pajamas, even what fabric she prefers, and an ornament, then 2 links to toys (one doll, one sports related).

I just don't get the horror of having your child get a gift that is not exactly what you think aligns with their specific interests at the moment.

Well, let's turn that back to you? Why are you invested in getting them gifts that don't align with their interests at the moment?[/quote]

Surely you're not saying that a 4 year old wouldn't be interested in something new that is different than what their parents have decided is appropriate for him to be interested in?
There is no possible way a child at 4 would be interested in a scooter if they had not ever had one? Not interested in a flying airplane because he has owns and enjoys Thomas trains and has never had an airplane? No to a car model kit because they like Legos? 
I think that line of thinking is ridiculous, there are thousands of toys, we only have to get them the same category of things they already have and enjoy?
That is nuts.[/quote]
