Okay, so my seven year old cousin wants Uggs, but her parents are refusing to buy them for her birthday. I don't want to conflict with their parental vision, but I do have enough money to be able to afford them for her. What would the parents here suggest that I do?
stay out of this. They are expensive and her feet are growing at such a rate she won't be able to wear them but one season. Then she will insist on them every year. A 7 year old so brand conscious is a sad thing indeed. You could buy her some nice boots but I'm sure her parents could too. You don't want to become the sugar daddy to a 7 year old in terms of her going to you for extras she wants. Stay out of this.
Personally, I wouldn't spend a chunk of change for trendy shoes for a young child who's feet are growing. She could outgrow them after only wearing them a handful of times. Her parents are right IMO. If she likes the look, I don't see anything wrong with an inexpensive pair of similar style boots.
Well, she also asked for either a Coach and/or Michael Kors Bag. I have confirmed that one of my other relatives has already bought her the MK bag (got a full sized one with coupons at Marshall's for only $100+tax). I walked into the Coach store at the Fort Lauderdale Galleria and a full sized bag was $899.99! I am wondering where she got the ideas for these gifts.....
Talk about expensive tastes for a 7 year old, my goodness! I always run gift ideas by the parents - whether that's my own parents for a gift for my younger siblings or by my aunts/uncles if for my cousins. They used to do the same thing about my gifts as a kid and ran them by my mom and dad. I'd say your aunt/uncle are probably going to say no as far as you getting her Uggs because they didn't want to buy them. She probably would only fit into them for a few months, feet grow so much faster than you would think!
Give her a gift card to a store that sells the Uggs, if you want. Her mom will either let her get them or will spend the gift card on things your niece really needs.
I think it's a little weird that a 7 year old is so into specific brands. Does she get it from her mom?

Don't buy them unless you fget the a size or two too big and she doesn't mind stuffing them with socks. Otherwise she'll grow out of them in like 6 months.
