The older our kids get, the harder it is to buy gifts for them. 1) they already have everything ? and 2) they start reaching the age where they play with toys a lot less and hangout with their friends more. So this year, we had our 9 year old, Makayla, make a birthday gift idea wish list on Amazon, and we ordered most of her gifts for her birthday from that list. I’ll link everything linked below.
