Brain exhausted mom asking for help ! Birthday gift ideas for daycare friend turning 5. We have no clue what he likes. Budget is around $25. I honestly am beyond exhausted to think of another thing so if anyone kind enough can help us, I would be most grateful.

I always go with books. For that age check out High Five by Adam Rubin, it’s fun and interactive for bedtime. You can pair with another of his books too to hit $25.

When my kids were young I’d send them with a card and $20 cash for gifts to friends. Maybe that’s me projecting my own anxious feelings of so much junky kids toys already in my home that I didn’t want to add to the clutter. But I do feel like my kid gave the “best” gift from the parents perspective. Ha!

I did love when my kids got a gift certificate to our ice cream shop in town. I love the support of a local business (and less junk - see above)

A game the family can play together (Trouble, Sorry, Uno, etc) Just make sure to get a gift receipt in case they already have it.

I’d try asking my kid what the bday boy likes - could give some ideas

Yoto card if they have a player?

Ask the parents what the child likes. Last thing you want to do is to give a gift that the kid already has or it’s too big to fit at home.

Text the parents to ask what the kid likes, ask your kid to ask the kid what they want, have your kid pick something and include a gift receipt

Hoot Owl Hoot - it’s a cooperative board game; easy to find and perfect for that age!

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks
