Just found out my girlfriend's sister is getting a divorce. She has two boys and I'd like to help and get them something nice. They're in between the 8-10 range. What do you think? I've never bought a kid a gift that young before.

They're in Indiana, I'm in Washington too by the way. So, I'd have to give the item to my gf to send to her.

I think a good gift would be a book that would help teach and deal with the divorce,....I'm sure you can go to borders or barnes and noble to pick one up...

I pity you and your angle. You sound like white trash to me. What do YOU appear like? Post a photo so we will be able to all pass judgement on you. See the way it makes you think while now not every person (if any person) thinks your well watching. Not every person is blessed with the satisfactory appears. We're all one-of-a-kind. Didnt you study that during Kindergarten? Or most often now not you have been too busy being the little caught up b**ch within the nook. Grow up and get a existence. **In regards to what Krob8008 stated - I want I couldve noticed how UGLY you're so I would inform you to head appear at my myspace and spot what a wonderful WOMAN appears like... I would now not be probably the most lovely, however I certainly dont appear like a HORSE!

I would take them on a trip to Disney World or somewhere fun...so the parents can get things in order and be ok with telling the kids the bad news....I have been a child of 2 divorces and it is nothing fun to go through and there is no easy way to be told and deal with the situation....try to do something fun for them...Best of luck ...God bless

Get him a book light and a gift certificate to a book store, or for the 8 year old Lego's they have so many to choose from a jet plane, is what I got my grandson he's 8. It would help you if you knew what they were into. If they have game boy or a psp)you play games on them) you could get them a game for that. Or just a gift certificate to a store.

Let your girlfriend help, or (to get on your g/f's good side) call her sister and ask her for help. Let the g/f or sister know you really care about the kids and would like to make them happy, they will be glad to give you suggestions. Mom would probably be glad to pass you their letters to santa. It will also give you brownie points for the sensitive guy action.
Make sure to not make the divorce a big deal to the kids, let them forget about it and have a Merry Christmas, they will have plenty of other days to be upset about Mommy and Daddy.

They are going to spend a long time in the car, going back and forth to each parents house. How about hand held games? Something to do in the car that will keep their little minds off what is happening.

You would have to ask the mom what they like. I am sure she can help you out. I have a daughter in that age range but it wouldn't help because your friend has boys. You would really need to ask her what they want to be sure you get them something good.

Your support. I have never been in that situation but what young children need is security and routine. My boys like matchbox cars, if you want to buy something.

a gift you would give to kids whose parents are not about to divorce.
