Approaching the birthday season

Most of my families birthdays happen during the Fall and then in the Spring, which makes it a challenge at times to figure out what to buy for them without turning to the gift card solution. I like personalized gifts since it makes it more difficult for sibling A to "borrow" something from sibling B and then claim it was theirs to begin with. It's also handy in avoiding situations where you buy the same item for more than one child, mine were prone to breaking something then claiming it was the other child's item that was broken. I used to use a labeling gun, but they figured out how to get around that...
