If you are attentive and willing to do some research you can be guaranteed of finding great gifts that your children will love to have. For parents with children who still believe in Santa it will mean being more creative with how you find out what they want and actually giving it to them. Here are some great gift ideas and tips to help you find the perfect present for the children in your life.
The most direct approach is to ask. The best way to do this is to let it come up in conversation what your kids want that holiday. The irony is that often while both you know that you are fishing each other for information, you won't acknowledge it. Pay attention to any hints that your children might drop and ask for clarification when not sure. Of course also pay attention to what comes up in conversations between siblings and their friends when they come over or talk on the phone.
The next approach are wish lists and letter to Santa these are for younger children who still believe that Santa is the one that brings their gifts. Basically have your children list what they want from Santa. This can be an ordinary list or a letter. It doesn't' matter as long as they list out what they want. An interesting idea is to use pictures. This picture wish list is great for younger children who have trouble telling what type of gift they want. To make it get a toy catalog and have your child pick out the items that they want. Then you cut out the pictures of the toys and paste them on a piece of paper and that will be the list.
A lot of toys are now electronic. A toy that was popular last year and will be so this year is the Nintendo Wii. This video game console uses motions sensors on the remote and remote sensor placed on top of the TV. This console is popular because there are a lot of multi-player games and it gets people moving. This is a great item to get if you have more than one child that is older. You can get the console as the main gift and get individual games that each person might like. If your kids want to get other video game systems, don't be too concerned the prices on many of them have been reduced and will probably be cheaper with the holiday sails.
For younger kids the presentation of the present will be just as important. As a fun and exciting sequel for the letters your kids sent to Santa. Have the gifts have actual replies back! There are great online services that do this for a minimal fee. You just go online and design the letter you want and pay for it. When Christmas draws near you will receive the letters with special postmarks from the North Pole. They will be interesting replies to your kid's wish lists and letters and encourage them to write next year.
