How about focusing on their interests instead of the month they were born. When I was younger I wouldn't care for birthstone things, and getting a towel for a present was not something I was super excited about. Now that I am older I would still enjoy something pertaining to my interests more then something with my birthstone. I enjoy gifts with thought put into them, and when someone hands me a teddy bear with a birthstone ring it looks like they stopped over at the drug store before they came to my party! Plus I hate pearls. Ugh! Anyway, Happy Birthday June people! I'll be celebrating my own in 14 more days. -

My birthday is in June and I've always wanted a water trampoline since I live on a lake. That would be a great present. Gift certificates for his/her favorite stores for back to school shopping are good, too.

You may just want to give the birthday boy/girl some money, to buy a suit or something. But if you want to, buy maybe a beach towel or beach ball or something they are interested in. A child may want some colorful sunscreen or something in that category.

My dad got me a clam rake one year for my June birthday. I didn't like it.

Why not consider a gift that's useful for the season? Sarongs, shorts, visors, beach towels, etc.
