Babies: 9 - 12 Months

age appropriate gifts

how do you feel when someone gives you a gift that is not age appropriate?

 If it's a great gift do you just hang on to it or regardless of it's awesomeness would it bother you if it was appropriate? Would you return it?

  • If they're good gifts that Emerson will enjoy later on down the line, I put them in her closet for a rainy day.

  • This seems to happen to us a lot.  For Christmas DD got a few things that were not age appropriate.  Most of the good stuff I saved. 

    One that really bothered me was from my cousin.  She has a 4 year old so it is not like she is clueless.  She gave DD some jenky cinderella spinning thing that plays music.  It is for 3 and up.  All it does is spin.  It is the lamest thing, and it has small parts.  I was peeved, esp since I spent a lot of time getting her son things I knew he liked/wanted - a crapload of Thomas the Train stuff.  So in that case, I was annoyed - but most of the time I just think they don't really pay attention like a Mom would and stash it in the closet for later.

  • My friend just had a baby and I found an adorable pink plastic golf club set (daddy loves to golf) and I really want to get it for them. I think its age 3-4 + but it's something I'd probably consider letting DD play with 9+ plus (like just playing with the golf club or something.
