At three, that little niece or co-worker's daughter is curious, alert and on the go, so picking a gift that suits her personality can be a pleasure.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Children's Clothes
  • Birthday Cards
  • Savings Bonds
  • Barbie Dolls
  • Toy Chests
  • Toy Phones

Step1
Ask the parents what will please their little girl; this can help you hit the gift target right on the center.
Step2
Go for clothes: Choose items with big buttons, toggles, zippers or snaps - they'll make it easier for her to dress herself.
Step3
Consider dolls, simple memory games or a doctor's kit - anything to get her creative juices flowing.
Step4
Go for books: Get an old classic favorite from your childhood or something new and bright.
Step5
Remember the parents, especially if they're expecting a second child: Give a day of babysitting or help organize a birthday party.
Step6
Look to the future. Give a savings bond or cash earmarked for the education fund.

Tips & Warnings

  • Keep the parents' style in mind when gift shopping and choose something that fits well with their way of parenting.
  • Don't expect a personal thank-you note from that three-year-old - but count on a grateful smile from the mother or father.
  • Read packaging and warning labels carefully so you don't end up giving a gift that's not toddler-safe.
