im ngl a lot of kids are actually very emotionally in tact and as long as you make it obvious you cared with the gift then they will like it
if not get her a lego set nobody can refuse those
NOOOOOOO HOW COUKD YOU DO THIS LELIGHTED :( please don't jinx DRX, they need this title sooo badly
just buy whatever u think is the best
I can't decide for u cuz idk what she likes
I mean I didnt wanna get something basic so ya just wanted some ideas
Bro i swear if u say something and basic mentioned
u need to 18 to ride on of those in india , even I cannot ride one of thosem I am thinking of a kid size bicycle if I take the vehicle route
u can try by asking her parents what she like, or just be straightforward to her, she's young so she would just be honest with u
yo I tried that listen my sister is like "ahh no nEeD f0r G1Ft y0u jUsT c0me and have good time"
ikr + im the youngest GenZ er in my family so ya ppl do that to me more . Btw I am 17
so she enjoy ur company more, thats great!
I assume ur close to her so based on her personality u can pick something that fits her. since she got lots of lego sets already u can try giving her something she can play with, or make her a cake, dolls, clothing, etc...
Making her a cake is a good shout
Dolls I give her that almost every christmas / birthday
For Clothing there is a festival called Durga Puja where its a tradition where ppl buy new clothing for themselves / gift them on the eve of the arival of goddess durga . So ya this year I took her to the mall and got her some clothes . Which was like 2 weeks ago atp .
If she likes drawing, get her some colouring pencils or crayons
thats a good idea on paper the problem is when I always gift her paint brushes , color pencils and crayon whenever ever I visit her , which is almost once in 2 months
If she likes science and biology, get her like one of those kid microscope sets. Also if she likes archeology then get her one of those like digging sets where you get fossils or gemstones or whatever
Put the money in her college funds
Give it to her parents if you really dont know what to get
Bring her to toysrus and let her pick
Idk
Open a savings account for a future real estate investment. She will appreciate it in the future.
For the immediate birthday, ask her parents for what she needs, not what she wants, what she needs.
A engineering book so she can study to get accepted in IIT.
jokes aside, get something that shw will never forget. or just buy the lego set '
edit: nvm get her a bike
Take her to the zoo ( Based of my experience ) , it would be an unforgettable memory for her. Fluffy cute animals always brings happiness to children ( Unless she's afraid of those things ).
like its a family only birthday party so like I cant take her that .
Done that before
how about a Scooter? So she goes outside to prevent her from being an indoor ipad kid.
u need to be 18 in india to ride on of those + she aint an ipad kid she is pretty active like she plays chess and goes to the park and stuff like that . Btw I bought her multiple chess sets so dont recommend me that .
I'm taking about short mini scooters for ages 5-12. not the adult electric motorised ones.
if ur talking abt one of these then she already has one of those
I almost exclusively got my baby cousin oversized stuffed animals every birthday until she turned 8. And then she kinda grew outta that phase.
I can give that to her but the problem is everyone is gonna give her that so ya
she is shy asf when it comes to that like whenever I ask shit like that she pretends as if she lost the ability to speak . BTW that aint her fault most indian parents ask their kids to act this way when someone asks u what u want for ur birthday or any other time u are gonna visit them / want to give them .
ya the digi camera is fine , i am thinking of an instant print one
other ppl are gonna give stuff like that so I dont think its the brightest idea
If you can do something together with her and give her a cute gift (stuffed animal or blanket or w/e).
The long-term memory of going/doing something together with their aunt/uncle is >>>>>>.
I've got 4 nephews and 1 niece. They mostly remember that I go to and take them to the zoo a lot when they were younger.
its an sort of a family only house party for this birthday for now thats off of the table
Ya I want to do that but like my sisters thinks I am too young for taking responsibility for someone else I am 17 btw
I have taken her too the zoo but it wasnt just me it was me and her other aunts like me alone nuh uh my sister wont allow for me
wtf does ur sister like all of the things mentioned u said she doesn't like it does she not have interests or some shit
she draws a lot so ya problem being I always get her art stuff when I visit her so I dont wanna gift her art stuff again for her birthday
I got her clothes two weeks ago for like a festival so ya
btw she is my niece
she already has stuffed toys and ppl will gift her more stuffed toys so just being another person to gift stuff toys doesnt feel special .
I am actually thinking of getting her an instant print camera and a kid size bicycle but I am still online if someone has a better suggestion or smth
she is 6 dude like she is too young to have a phone + I dont want her to ruin the way my sister raises her cuz she is trying very hard to keep her off of the internet and easy dopamine at all costs cuz she herself is a Gen Z girl .
from the replies it seems youre an amazing uncle for your age and you spoil your niece too much (I do this too btw). get her rollers skates or a NERF-like gun. those are lots of fun and you can get one yourself too so you can play with her
ur a good uncle too like as uncles its our job to spoil our niece and nephews but spoil them with the things which enhance their creativity and forces them to be active . Like as an uncle if u cant gift a nice things to ur niece and nephew while being in a decent financial situation . Honestly u deserve to go to hell . By nice things I mean like stuff like board games or dolls or clothes not iphone gucci bags shit btw .
I did mention this like there are not many skate parks where she can actually have fun skating as a kid who lived in LA for 14 and a half years I fucking hate this part abt my city and the country in general like skate parks are so rare . + like most indian alleyways or roads got these micro 4-6 inch portholes ever 20 metres which u are gonna make her fall and on rough concrete she is gonna hurt herself even more so ya .
Nerf gun is a good shout tho
you can buy things related to something your niece into lately, for example i heard kpop demon hunters is really popular among kids right now
she is into drawing a lot whenever I visit her she comes up to my feet and takes me to her table and shows me all the stuff she drew she lowkey insane at drawing she can draw a human face portrait already mind u she is 6 . I can gift her that the problem is I always gift her the charcoal pencils , water colors , crayons and that stuff
ur a good person bro thats really nice of you do wanna do something for her.
as long as u find something shes interested in and likes i think she will enjoy it. saw some people say a bike and that would be pretty cool.
my two cousins (5 y/o and 9 y/o) are really interested in art and creating things. most of my family and myself usually gets them anything related for the holidays like colored pencils, markers, sketchbooks etc. they also like makeup but idk if your niece is into that yet but just suggestions. im sure whatever u will come up with they will be happy with.
a nice watch.
she'll appreciate it one day. but emphasis its importance so much that she doesnt wear it around and lose it but insteads stores it until shes old enough. something she'll remember you by eventually
tbh id use the 500 usd to get her a continous gift so like 50(any number)x vouchers for ice cream (print/make a voucher, tell her she gets 50x free ice creams when she is with you or something) and she can sorta use it multiple times. I think she would like a gift like that. You could also take her on a shopping spree and just let her pick what she wants and buy it.
I feel like a pass for x amount of things worth up to 500 dollars would give her more joy vs a 1 time thing but idk.
- How abt a watch? Like one appropriate for 6 year old girl( ur budget is good enough to get a good watch for her) and it's something that will actually be useful and last long to her and i am pretty sure she's definitely gonna wear it around advertising to people her uncle gifted it to her.
- What about jewellery? Like ur budget is 500 usd , definitely u can buy some good jewellery ( nothing too big due to her age).
- If she's into books or something try getting a good novel or some book. If she's into like some building stuff or even some mechanical stuff then just get like one of those sets like the one mark robber sells for toddlers to build stuff( even if she's not into building stuff u can definitely gift her that since it's like pretty universal and gender won't affect much)
