Help with Christmas is for kids

AnimalsR4Me · Nov 12, 2009

So the local radio station here has a program that runs that is "Christmas is for Kids" You sponsor a less fortunate child, and get them what they ask for for christmas. Most of them ask for simple things, like, clothes and shoes. I have a 10 year old girl, who asked for winter boots, clothes size 14 to 16, and a twilight book. Now, my question is, do I buy boots in the childrens section, or in the womens section? And do I buy the clothes in the kids section or in the juniors section? Size 14 seems small for a 10 year old in kids, but 14 in a junior seems big....It's not like I get to meet the girl, so I can't figure out "how big she is"....Also, do 10 year olds play with toys or anything like that? I can't remember being 10! lol. I'd like to make it a good christmas for her, but I don't want to get her clothes or boots that don't fit, or things that she won't enjoy....HELP! lol I don't remember being 10 years old at all! LOL.

At the clothing store I work at, 16 is the largest size in our little girls department, and all juniors sizes are odd numbers. So I'm betting it's for the little girls sizes.

Clothes - girls section. A size 14 for a 10 year old is pretty average.
What size shoes? Typically in kids they go up to about a size 5, then you have to go to women's. My almost 8 year old daughter wears a size 3.
As far as toys - for a 10 year old...you can't go wrong w/ those little makeup sets.

Boots, I dont know what size you'd get. Is there anyway you can contact the people that "assigned" that little girl to you and see if they can find out?

I have an almost 9 year old daughter and I would say maybe a Webkinz stuffed animal or some art supplies. who doesn't love a brand new box of crayons or some sparkly pens?

I was told she wears size 8 in winter boots...but that seems kind of big to me....And thanks, I guess I never thought about the art supplies and stuff.

Size 8 for a 10 yr old is big my 10 yr old wears a size 4 shoe in the kids dept, I would go to whomever assigned you this little girl and ask them if the info is incorrect . I would say if she is asking for a Twilight book she is "older" than a typical 10yr old. I would go with an art set or maybe something musical and you can never go wrong with anything sparkly.
