One is in Kindergarten, another in second, and the other in 4th.
They're my cousins and over the past years I haven't really given
such great gifts. I mean I try hard, but it's mostly toys and clothes.
What's something that they can keep forever (or more then a couple of years)
and it's memorable? I can't give toys because their parents (not all related) don't want any more toys. I don't want to give them DVDs, either (stuck in front of the TV all day) and music is okay but I really don't like Kids Bop or Hannah Montana for the children. Of course for my baby boy cousin, I'll give him a teddy bear or blanket (he doesn't care, he's happy if you give him something to bang with)
Keep in mind, it can't be pricey and it'll be helpful if parents or people with the same experiences answered. (I was thinking of getting them a baby doll, I remember my first one(: but then they own like 20)
Answer
Build A Bear . . it's personal, its designed to suit each childs taste and its something that they can cherish forever. My son is 3yrs (almost 4) and loves his 'magic police panda bear'. You can get a gift certificate so the older ones can go to a store and make it themselves (something my son really enjoyed doing) or you can make it for them with things they like in mind. This is a gift thats great for all the ages you mentioned. http://www.buildabear.com/
The Process
- pick out a animal of your choice to stuff
- pick out a sound (if you choose)
- grab a felt heart (for the inside of your animal)
- sing a song (for the kids) to jump start their heart and make it your special bear
- stuff it
- bring it to the wash station to brush/fluff it (for the kids)
- pick out an outfit for the bear (if you choose)
- fill out its birth certificate at the computer station
- and go to the cash register to get the box and the birth certificate
As for avoiding toys, if you have any girly girls getting then a nice little jewellery box is great. I know my aunt got one for me as a little girl and I still have it. Same with necklaces and charm bracelets. You don't have to spend a lot to get something nice. My aunt never had a lot of money but she always threw together little packets of jewelry (even plastic stuff for my younger sister). Another option is the classics. Cabbage patch dolls are back and my daughter (2yrs) loves them. Something to think about anyway. =)

What's a good Christmas gift for a 4 year old girl?
One amongs
I am wondering what to get my niece for Christmas. I want to avoid loud, noisy, expensive toys. I don't want to get her any clothes because she'll grow out of them so quickly. Money is tight this year and I am kind of leaning toward getting her something nice that she can have for awhile. No video games or electronics, please. I would just like some suggestions for nice, but inexpensive gifts that she'd enjoy.
Answer
I would suggest a board game but for her age it's basically a toy which u said is a no no.......here's some things that I have in mind
for my 4 yr old boy one of his xmas gifts is the book "the night before christmas" it's recordable so when they turn the page they hear your voice this was from hallmark for $35.00.....if this is not in your budget you can go to a reg book store and buy the reg non recordable book ' the night before christmas"
there's interactive software learning games like Reader Rabbit that start from $10.00
you can buy some real cute clothes in the baby section at H&M b/c it's cheap just buy a bigger size
books by Robert Munsch are awesome she'll love it..like Mortimer, or The Papper Bag Princess those are classics and only cost $6 per book another one of my favorties is not by Robert Munsch ......it's called Guess How Much I Love You.
around xmas there is also the custom made bookswith their names in it I would say around $25
you can go to the Disney store and get her a snow globe with characters starting at $20 with characters on them and sparkles inside, wal mart sometimes sell disney brands too
or you can buy her a christmas shatter proof ordament collectable like barbie or other characters good luck
EDit;......... Stupid Paul, it's a 4 yr old child u Perv.... 4!!!!!!!!!!!
