Who is easier to shop for Girls or Boys?

I have only Girls and my Sister has only Boys. I think so much easier to shop for Girls because there is always another piece of Jewelry, pocketbook clothes you get the picture. But I don't have Boys so I really don't know. So who do you think is easier or more fun to shop for?

I too only have a son but I love shopping for my girly girl nieces. BUT some of the toys you get for boys are soooooo much fun to play with.

Depends upon their age. I have a boy and a girl and right now if I had a boat load of money I could spend it easilly on both! My friends with teenagers, both boys and girls, say they are giving gift cards because they are impossible to buy for!

(By they way, if anyone would like to get rid of a boat load of money please e-mail me!)

I think boys but that's only because I have 2 boys and my DD pretty much wants alot of the same things my boys do. Figures!!!

I think that it might depend more on *the* boy and *the* girl... Some of the boys in our family are so easy, others are so hard. Likewise with the girls!

Usually with nieces and nephews, I give them cash so it's easy for all!!!

Unhappy

When my kids were little I could always find more in the way of girl toys than for boys.

After they got past the toy stage it was much easier to buy for my ds than the 2 dd''s. By that time it was a lot of clothes. My girls were so picky about their clothes they got money to buy their own. My ds on the other hand, was very easier to please.

Since I'm now raising my 6 yo granddaughter I'm having a great delema (sp) because she really doesn't have much attraction to girly things. She's more interested in stuffed animals, building blocks, musical things.

I'm glad I'm not buying for boys today though. With all the very evpensive electronic boy attractions that arre out now, I don't see how parents with boys can keep up.

I have to agree with it depends on the age. My 6 yr old DD is easy to buy for. She loves anything girly. Now my 15 yr old DD, ughh she's impossible! She's into Hot Topic stuff but has her own taste in clothes, jewlery and shoes. If I don't have her show me exactly what she wants, I'm afraid she won't like it.
MY DS is pretty easy to buy for at the moment too. Anything to do with video games and he's happy.

In my family it is easier to shop for DD than my sons. My boys are so complicated. They like the expensive stuff. My DD loves Junk, Jewlery, clothes, shoes, hair supplies. My boys just don't play with anything. Now when they were younger my boys were easier to buy for and DD was not. So I guess it depends on the age.

Girls and the gifts are fun.
The older they get the more you can buy them things that you like and if they don't like them well then you have a gift!!
