What a sweet uncle! Mini HLs are sooo cute (: And I don't think it is unappropriate at all. As long as she keeps that promise ; D
They are very lucky to have you for a uncle!
Some think it is inappropriate to buy young children expensive things they do not need but I on the other hand think if you can afford to do it ~ then go for it!
These same children will still learn life lessons and can grow up to be great adults.
ITA! That is such a cute gift! I have 2 nephews that I love to spoil. My oldest is 10 and I promised to buy him something each time he brings home straight A's on his report card. He is not at all aware of LV but loves his video games.
I think the bag is too cute and perfect for an 8 year old. I mean think out it, it's so small can anybody else but a child use it? Seriously. As far as the sneakers go...DON'T DO IT! They grow out of them way to quick
