For adults with children, Christmas becomes a holiday centered on the kids. Although we love it too, we adults bear the burden of doing all the shopping, navigating mall traffic, and putting up those wonderful decorations. Although it's still fun, kids are the ones that can enjoy the mesmerizing holiday wonder, without the distraction of parental duties. And the one thing that enchants them the most is the gifts. Which leads to a good question: what are the best gifts to give kids? What are some kid's gifts that will be a good investment and be a sure pleaser? Here are some ideas.
Educational Kids Gifts
Try getting a gift that will encourage kids to learn. Obviously, giving your child a textbook or a pad of notebook paper would be a real downer, but some gifts are loads of enjoyment and aid in learning as well. A book is perfect for encouraging your child in reading. Some computer games may also have an educational advantage. Giving them a piggy bank, a purse, or a wallet can lead to understanding money and budgeting. A craft, kits, and even a model, are great ways to learn. Give a telescope and be the one that teaches them about the stars and planets. Give fish, an ant farm, or another pet, and let them learn more about the animal kingdom. Give a musical instrument, provide lessons and help them develop their musical talent. Educational gifts do not have to be boring. There are endless possibilities for giving great gifts that will help kids learn at the same time.
Personalized Kids Gifts
Personalized gifts are perfect for anyone, kids included. A gift that has your child's name on it, whether it's a baseball bat, an article of clothing, or a piece of furniture, is a great idea and will bring special meaning and memories for a long time.
Long Lasting Kids Gifts
Often, Christmas gifts lie around forgotten and unused just days after you give them. Other gifts last for a lifetime. Consider a gift that will last a long time. One great kid's gift is a beanbag chair. From seven to seventeen, a good quality beanbag chair is a gift everyone can enjoy. Gifts of more significance could be their birthstone, a bracelet, a charm or necklace that has family history, or some other gift that can help to form a special tradition.
Event Gifts
A gift doesn't always have to be something tangible. It can be an event, too. By giving a gift of an event, you are not only giving them something that they enjoy; you are also providing an opportunity to spend time together in a special way. Take them to a concert or a play that they will enjoy. Promise them a day at a theme park, a water park, laser tag center, golf course, or some other venue. You can also give them a season of soccer, or a year of music lessons.
