misshayley Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I have a cousin who is in hte 8-10 year old range, who has everything. I don't want to spend more than $10 on her, because she won't play with it anyway, which would be better, a CPK (the $10 one at Wal-Mart) or a Care Bear (the $5 one at Wal-mart)? I don't have any children, so I don't even know what is popular with this age group. Any ideas?
jadedmomof2 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I wouldn't get either of those for a child that age. Especially if she already has everything. Have you asked her parents what she likes? Or considered buying books, or other similar items for her?
little*miss*a Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I agree that both the cpb & the care bear are both pretty young for her. Maybe a little bath & body set or something? Just a thought.
peachysquirt21 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I had a Cabbage Patch when I was 10 & loved it. Actually I had 4 by that age. I posted a reply in your other thread. I suggested maybe one of those Bratz dolls. Those are pretty popular & I am sure you can find a bargain on those somewhere.
KBsDarling Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 That age is when the gift cards start for me....only person harder then Fils are preteen fringe family
love2beurwifey Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I would not get either one of those a nice little bath and body set would be nice for her age
peachysquirt21 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 If she has everything, I would then go with a gift certificate. That way she can buy what she wants.
brownlands Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I have a 10 yr old niece and she thinks dolls are for babies. I think that the CB's are also more for the younger kids.
heavenlysshine Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 DEFINITELY neither. My six year old would DIE if I even THOUGHT about getting her a CPK or a Care Bear! ~H~
Kandy Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 My DD is 12 and still loves the Bratz Collection and the CPK are stuck in a big rubbermaid tub about 15 of them (most of which where mine)
wf2afcop Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 No way on either. Alot of girls that age are starting to "grow up" the Bath an Body set is a good idea, some girls like those kits to make things, bracelets, hair stuff, etc. That maybe a good bet too. But, no CPK or CareBear!
Gporter34 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 It all depends on the child. My girls are 12 and 13 and they bothe want the Care Bears. I am getting a CPK Baby for myself because I still have mine from way back when and I am thinking ahead, they will be great gifts at great prices if you need one during the year.
