Gifts given by extended family to an older child or a young adult are often ill-suited to their current age. In the eyes of grandparents, aunts and uncles we will always be the little girl or boy they recall from years gone by.
Sometimes though, those gifts still manage to be just right.
As a young teen I received a book from my grandmother that did not match my age. It was a beautifully illustrated copy of Peter Pan and Wendy. It was not greatly appreciated when first received however it has become one of my most beloved possessions today.
