The Perfect Birthday Present for that Little Girl (No Batteries Required) Written by Carol Shuman

How To Pick The Right Costume I have given many costumes as gifts and have found that you can't go wrong giving a little girl a Barbie costume. However, here are some tips to make perfect selection: * Find out what TV shows child likes to watch. Often, costumes of main characters are available. * Does child have a favorite movie? There are numerous licensed movie costumes available. * Be sure to buy an 'Official Licensed Costume' if available. This will help ensure that child will be able to recognize costume, as it will be made according to licensing specifications. * Check size and buy right one. Nothing is more disappointing than receiving a costume and it not fitting. Make sure you buy right size. If you are not sure, buy larger size.

* If money is no object, how about a weekend break? You can get some nice 'getaway' cruises of city breaks quite cheaply nowadays. Just make sure they can still travel! * Do they have major hobbies? Bird spotting? How about some new lightweight binoculars? Golf? How about some new clubs or a set of top of range balls? * If they are fans of a charity, see if you can make a donation in their name. It is possible to sponsor rare animals these days, and WWF will happily send you details if you ask. * AVOID trying to help them directly in a financial sense, chances are that no matter how much they would like money, they would prefer to keep their dignity more. * AVOID 'gift certificates'. This implies that you know they have interests, but can't be bothered to do anything about them. * AVOID trying to 'muscle in' on their big day. You might think it will show love to try and organize everything, cook food personally etc, but believe you me, at this age, they need their space, and will appreciate straight gifts or restaurant treats far a more. Never outstay your welcome - they don't have as much stamina as they used to!
