I always try to keep a couple of children's gifts on hand for those last minute
birthday parties.  If I see a great gift on clearance that will suit almost any
child I pick it up.  I also keep an extra roll of Birthday wrapping paper on hand.
This way I am not running out last minute for a gift and wrapping paper.  I always
encourage my children to create their own cards.
