My daughter is turning 7 yo at the end of this month. Now she has "gazillions" of toys she doesn't play with anymore (most of them are too young for her anymore). So I bought a junior laptop with simple math, reading, and music programs in it. It looks like a real kids computer with a mouse and all. Seeing as though this year in her 1st grade class they will be doing a lot of technology projects and working with computers, I thought this would be ONE perfect gift that would be worthwhile. But what about a SECOND gift? Any suggestions, she's 7 yo.

Thanks!

" Why does she need a second gift....I would only get another if you are not having a party or are asking party goers to not bring one....Since she already has so many she doesnt use you might also suggest to her that on her birthday she take her old toys to the ARC or Goodwill and make a donation so that other kids can enjoy them....just remember someday that sweet little 7 yr old will be 16 and presents will only get more expensive.....one good toy should be enough so you dont get into trouble later...
