Children's parties: who chooses the gift?

[black_rose]

I let dd1 choose, so far she has chosen some great gifts as she knows what they like eg tinkerbell or my little pony. Last time she did want to buy something she wanted but I just told her to tell Santa and it was a gift for her friend so she happily chose something suitable. We then had to get a matching card and paper too.

We haven't been to too many but generally it is a joint effort. DS is often too busy playing with the toys in the shop to care too much
