Discover awesome birthday gifts for kids
Finding a suitable birthday present for a child is not that difficult. For once it can speak, the wishes just bubble out of it. Whether that's always satisfiable or reasonable wishes is another question. We give you some tips on how to find suitable birthday gifts for children:
Find the right birthday present for a child - age matters
Child is not the same child, because the interests and preferences change sometimes fast. Little children and babies enjoy a cuddly toy and other soft things to play in which they can not hurt or swallow. It is absolutely necessary to pay attention to the given age when giving away toys! For babies and toddlers, it makes sense to talk to the parents once before their birthday what the child needs. Because they usually have a better overview of what relatives and friends give. So nothing doubles in the end, the child will hopefully not sink under a mountain of too much toys (even if too much toys are actually always the case) and the parents are happy too.
If the Children get older and be able to formulate your own wishes, you no longer have to look in the glass ball, but can take targeted action in the gift search. Playmobil and Lego, Barbie or doll, wooden box with kit and other educational games, funny wall decoration for the nursery, soap bubbles, ball track, unicorn, jigsaw puzzle, remote controlled cars or everything related to Star Wars - there are so many things that are now among the classic gifts and which are still very popular after years as a gift idea.
But even with something older children is it worthwhile to seek the conversation with the parents. Maybe there is absolute no gos in the family regarding gifts. If there are strict rules for gifts, you should not ignore them - even if that makes the search for a birthday present sometimes more difficult.
Bigger kids and teens Often they clearly state what they want and have already thought more. Often they have a wish list with wishes that they want to fulfill. Not infrequently comes then the desire for a gift of money to save on a larger purchase. You do not have to fulfill wishes like these, but respect them. And gifts of money make it easier for the children to fill their money-box and get to their destination. Because for unusual requests such as gadgets à la Quadrocopter and other technical gifts you have to dig a little deeper into the bag. A little money for the moneybox makes it easier for everyone - and the kids are happy.
Exceptional children's gifts: experiences that will be remembered
Kids love to discover something new. Why not give away a special experience? If the parents do not mind (necessarily agree before!), Nothing stands in the way of a trip.
- Little explorers are sure to enjoy a visit to the go-kart track with decent motor power.
- A trip to the zoo.
- Or on a special playground.
It does not have to be bodyflying right away. A special experience that is not commonplace, the children will be remembered either way. Again, it helps to just ask. You can do that even before your birthday - and then create a notepad. Then put it aside and look again later to decide on a gift idea.
How much do I have to spend on children's gifts?
The answer is not very clear, because it always depends. Am I a father or a mother giving my children a budget to use for a present? Grandma and Grandpa may take a little deeper into the bag to fulfill their grandchildren's heart's desire.
Whereas friends choose a smaller budget at the children's birthday party. Because one should certainly keep in mind: For children, the children's birthday is directly associated with gifts, but you should not overdo it too grossly. The gesture counts. And for children it often does not matter how expensive or big a gift is, but how much they looked forward to it and how much they enjoy playing with it.
Extra tip for children's gifts
Especially small children can do little with an envelope full of money. They would rather tear up colorful parcels with funny wrapping paper. That's the biggest fun! Especially when the family is big and many relatives and friends come to celebrate, it makes sense to talk to the parents beforehand: What does the child have? What does it want? What do friends and relatives give? What is the budget? After a conversation with the parents, one can decide for a small attention that the child can unpack.And the parents can then (especially for smaller children) still an envelope with money in the hand press for a possible greater desire, if you want.
And another tip: Children love things with their name on it. Whether it's a pillow or a stamp, there are now countless numbers of products that you can either buy by name. If the correct name is not included in the standard program, many personal items can also be ordered online.
Important: In case of fancy names and special designs (keyword engraved) you should sch sch on the exchange possibility, delivery (and above all delivery time) and return smart. For personalized gifts are special, but sometimes it also makes them special when it comes to exchanges or returns. Better to clarify the conditions first.
