[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gifting "experiences" to young kids like your ages OP is totally LAME for the kid and gift-giver!  No 7 yr old is excited to open a piece of paper that says "zoo membership".  Like, wooohooooo, now we have free parking at the zoo -- how exciting for him!  Perhaps a big trip to Disney World or the like could go down differently, but that's not the price range you are talking.  If you want to re-brand "experiences", classes, enrichment, etc. that you should be getting your kid anyways as Christmas gifts, then you -- the parents -- should be stuck with that lameness!

[b]HOWEVER, it is admittedly irksome when you give the grandparents actual specific gift suggestions, like the ninja course, for example, and they then ignore them in favor for a bunch of redundant items instead.  I hear you on that.[/quote][/b]

That is exactly what they do. We suggest ninja courses, slack lines, climbing dome, soccer balls and goals…nope. They want to give multiple, small gifts (that easily equal $200). More trucks, legos, and other small toys that we truly do not need.[/quote]
