My daughter stopped wearing character themed clothes around 7 -- up till age 6 she would have been totally thrilled with a Hannah Montana or whatever PJ set but by age 7 wanted more grown up kid clothing. SO I say go for something else.

At the risk of sounding bitchy, I say don't. My kids hate getting clothes for their birthdays. Yes, I agree they should be gracious about any gift they receive and say thank you (and send a note). I'm just telling you that the recipient will not be psyched, although hopefully she'll be polite.

That kind of gift is fine from grandma or an aunt but not a same age friend.

Totally fine.

I don't like character or licensed stuff either, but think a nightgown is perfect - they doing go out in public with it, and don't look at it much since it's on their body. Plus, a towel you'll keep for years. A nightgown will be grown out of.

Weird.

Totally fine

Larla will love it! She loves anything Strawberry Shortcake! We'll send a thank you note out promptly.

Girls at that age love nightgowns.

I might do a pool towel with the character instead.

My 4-year-old received a character swimsuit from a friend for her birthday. I thought it was a little weird, but my DD loved it. I would go for it.

DD's friend loves a certain character, and I found a nightgown on amazon for $18. Weird for DD to give that as a present? What say DCUM?
