Filed under: Preschoolers, Kids 5-7, Kids 8-11, Toys & games, BirthdaysKindergarten apparently is the time when kids start including classmates in their birthday parties, because my daughter has been invited to an impressive string of them this month -- all boys. Though I have two nephews, I'm close enough to them to know what their interests are and what kinds of toys they already have. But otherwise, when it comes to the world of toys for boys, I'm a little lost. I'm all about no-gift birthday parties, not because I'm cheap, but because my kids have too much stuff as it is. But not everyone feels the same way, and several times this month we've found ourselves wandering Target not sure if five-year-old boys like Transformers or Spiderman or Ben10 the best. And what, exactly, are Bionicles?Next time, I'll call my nephew and ask him for a little direction. In the meantime, since girls are something I do know a little about, here are several great gifts for girls under $20. If you've got a classmate birthday coming up, something on this list is sure to be a hit. Gallery: Birthday gifts for girls under $20 Permalink | Email this | Comments
