I seem to have had a lot of kids birthday invitations lately. I suppose it is because my children have recently started school and they are making new friends who are having parties. I think it is great for them to have lots of fun and celebrate with their friends and the last party they went to was a disco and they loved dancing in the big hall to the music. The only problem with the birthday invitations is the amount of presents that I have to buy all of the time.

It is not so much the expense, as you can get pretty cheap things these days, it is what to get. When I was small stuffed animals or books were fine but these days there is so much to choose from that it can be completely overwhelming and I have no idea what is appropriate for what age group. I tend to end up asking the mother what they are in to as then you can by a toy or book which is branded, which might be dearer but at least you know that it is something that they will like. They are likely to get so many things, that it is nice to think that your gift might stand out a bit from the rest.
