I have about six kids (between 4 and 10) to buy gifts for in the next three months (both boys and girls). I wonder what your favorite websites are. I like to spend too much money, mostly b/c they aren't my kids and therefore, I really can. But anyways, I'll put out my two favorites:
Oliebollen and Miniboden.
But I need more ideas b/c these feel stale right now.

Clothes? I thought you had a masters degree in child psychology or a similar field? You can narrow your search from here. For the younger children a stuffed figurine of a character from their favorite television show. Older children can be more specific in their interests. Building/construction toys tend to reach broadly.

My niece Abby is like a prodigy, but instead of being a math genius or something, she has the fashion knack of a young Anna Wintour, but less sterile and angry.

I have many friends kids (of all ages, from 4 to later teens, and even adults), that love this site. It has clothes, toys, and even customizable stuff that you can get for them for a nice personal touch.

Things I sometimes play...
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a unicorn!"
"Awww, why's that?"........
"So I can stab people with my face."

GBA sp: They're only like 50 dollars, and lots of pokemon on that platform. Great for the slightly older kids.

Pikko should just guru you for that.
I can never remember when my two nieces birthdays are so I give them like three birthday gifts a year and it's always cash. I am their favorite uncle.
Haha, 10 green arrows will have to suffice.
Hell, if you want hellaexpensive designer kids' clothes, go to tuttibella.com.

This is the most correct answer. Even better if they can understand it's value. I would always take my birthday, easter, and christmas money gifts and stow them away in a savings account. It left me a wonderful little nest egg of about 4000 dollars by the time i was ready for university, which allowed me to get a computer, a decent car, and enough leftovers for books for every year of university. I still had to take out loans for housing, but I'm only about 10k into debt and that's all student loans, with about 2500 of that nest egg still intact which I try never to spend.
It's a fantastic idea to start saving for something like that. And if they don't go to university, it would last them a long time while they look for a job which they can enjoy.
Always pay off loans (assuming you are paying non-insignificant interest) rather than have loans as well as floating capital, unless you have some place for it to be used.
Just as Planned.

Normally the way it works is that you apply for the loan and it disperses to the school, then the school gives you whatever it didn't use. Most of the time it was about 1k per semester. I would always just give that back to the government immediately. That's why I'm only 10k in debt instead of 20.
I can't stand owing people money, so as soon as I can put my BA's to work I'd like to just live in squalid poverty for a year and pay it off asap.
Plus, they don't start collecting or interest until I graduate. I've seen what debt can do. My father had to do chapter whatever reorganization recently. I despise the idea of getting that in debt.

Point being! Giving kids money is fantastic

Yes, this would be the more responsible option than going to Disney World.
Three years in a row.
For one to two weeks at a time.
I should think, if I had to guess, that the latter would be *way* more fun though.

Are you guessing or speaking from personal experience haha?
For me, it's just that I can't stand owing any part of myself to some other human. I mean there is basic respect owed of course, but really, other than the unconditional love of one's spouse I don't like being beholden to debts.
Besides if I went to disney world how would I ever find the time to read Hegel T.T
When my kids are asleep I feel like telling Mr. Pikko let's take them to Disneyland. But then they wake up and start whining and I change my mind.

So leave 'em there.
I let grandma take 'em. I never went, and I don't think I'm missing out.
