TOP of the best gift ideas for the New Year for children: boys and girls
New Year's holidays in childhood are a time of miracles, surprises and magic, when you really want to believe in a fairy tale. Think of yourself as a child: you want to sculpt a snowman, eat sweets and tangerines, burn sparklers and watch the fireworks spellbound. Then wake up in the morning and see the long-awaited gifts from Santa Claus under the Christmas tree.
Mary's Choice
To show concern, it is not at all necessary to spend large sums of money - even a trifle without significant material value can bring joy. One and the same item can cost from small to large, you need to evaluate both your own capabilities and other people's needs. I have the experience of successful gifts at an affordable price - an Advent calendar with sweets for a girl and a board game for a teenage boy. I pleased both of them, because I studied their desires from their parents in advance.
Chocolateadvent–calendar
My niece has a sweet tooth, so an Advent calendar with candy as a gift fell into the hit-on-target category. However, in order to really please the child, I chose the gift with great care - not every option was really worthy and interesting. The standard calendar is a colorful box with windows for each day of the month, behind which hides a sweet mini-surprise. It is important that sweets are different and can surprise, this is the essence of Advent. In online stores, you can even choose themed calendars with designs from your favorite cartoons.
Tabletop the game
Everyone loves board games, but my godson is seriously fond of them, so the choice of a New Year's gift for an addicted teenager suggested itself. Before purchasing this or that option, it is worthwhile to study the personal interests of the child and build on this information. In my case, the boy turned out to be a fan of the cartoon "Gravity Falls", so I bought a board on this topic.
Daria's choice
I believe that a gift for a child should not only be interesting, bring pleasure, but also develop, teach something new. Children do not care about the price of a gift, they care about the attention of their parents and make it fun and colorful.
Illuminated drawing tablet
This gift is perfect for girls who are fond of art, drawing, go to art school. The gadget allows you to draw, write on it, erase unnecessary items. Even inexpensive tablets are made of high-quality, child-safe plastic. Most models are equipped with a bright LCD screen.
For a girl, it is recommended to choose a gadget that is resistant to scratches and other external influences, since few children are careful with things and equipment.
Typically, this tablet comes with a drawing stylus. The device can always be carried with you in a backpack, especially if the set includes a protective case.
The following brands of tablets are perfect as a gift for a girl:
- 8.5-inch LCD Writing Tablet with stylus;
- children's drawing tablet Vertex Paint 8-1.
Such a gift will become an unusual, interesting find for a child and will contribute to his intellectual development.
LEGO set
The versatility of this gift lies in the fact that different Lego sets are designed for different age groups of children. For little boys, easy-to-assemble kits marked "3-5 years old" are suitable, for school-age children it is worth choosing structures that are more complex to assemble, marked "7-8 years old".
Lego constructor perfectly trains fine motor skills, develops imagination and logic.In addition, your child will have fun with his friends, collecting such a toy in the company. Among the wide selection of branded Lego sets, there are whole series with favorite children's characters, cartoon characters. The most popular among them are:
- Batman;
- City;
- Creator;
- Disney;
- Junior;
- Marvel;
- Technic.
In addition, LEGO usually produces limited edition gift sets before the New Year.
Michael's choice
When a child writes letters to Santa Claus, you should invite him to do it earlier, so that there is time to find those options that he wants. Not in all cases, the desires of children correspond to the financial capabilities of the parents. However, it is often possible to find an alternative that satisfies the child's desire and does not ruin the family budget. I discussed the wishes of my little niece and my teenage godson and bought a 3D pen and a colorful backpack.
3D pen
My godson is interested in modern technology, loves creativity. So I decided to give him a 3D pen. This is the original plastic painting tool. The scope of use of such a device is limitless. Skillful designs, original figurines and decorations are only a small part of what the godson did. With this accessory, he also created real 3D objects. I consider it a very good gift for a child.
Stylish backpack
Backpacks have become very popular and are a practical and stylish accessory. My niece is growing up very active and mobile. Since she often spends time on the road, I decided to give her a backpack. Since she loves everything bright and unusual, such an object will be very useful to her at school, on a walk, on a trip, on a hike. If you wish, you can apply a print of your favorite character to your backpack.
Elena's choice
My niece is a wonderful child. Choosing gifts for her is a separate kind of pleasure for me. She recently turned ten years old and her hobbies began to gradually change. Many children can easily find interest in a wide variety of hobbies and inexhaustible creativity. I will not get tired of watching with what rapture the children are doing what they love. This time I decided to opt for a set for beading and painting by numbers. I'll tell you about them in more detail.
Kit for beading
Girls from an early age show interest in jewelry. But how great it is to be able to show your imagination and make jewelry for yourself. I believe such a gift has a number of advantages.
First, it will allow the individuality of the child to manifest. Knowing that you are wearing a bracelet that has no analogues is much nicer than the one that others have.
Giving others your crafts and seeing that they are being worn is another joy for a child.
Although at first glance, the braiding process may seem simple, for a child it will be a real challenge, which, among other things, will help develop thinking, taste and perseverance.
I also like these sets because they can be matched by age. Simple ones for the little ones and more difficult ones for older children. And the modern market presents a wide range of a wide variety of sets: it can be not only jewelry, but also other crafts, including key chains and various toys.
Painting by numbers
My niece is very fond of drawing. And if a few years ago she practiced on wallpaper, now her talent (fortunately for her parents) spills out on the pages of albums. If your child is willing to take up paints and a brush, it may be time to give him the opportunity to create a real masterpiece with his own hands.
Paintings by numbers are divided by complexity and theme, so it is easy to pick them up for children of any age and gender. If you have a boy who loves to draw and loves sports bikes, he will love the picture of a motorcycle.
It is interesting that if at the very beginning the canvas looks rather boring, then after applying paints such creativity is not ashamed to hang on the wall, and the development of perseverance and patience will be a pleasant bonus for you.
Conclusion
I would like to believe that we managed to throw at least one or several good ideas to please the kids on New Year's holidays - whether they are your own children, younger sisters or brothers, nephews or godchildren. Our recommendations have been compiled based on our own experience, so they might be useful to someone else. In order not to miscalculate with the present for sure, you can ask the child about his desire directly or ask his parents. It will definitely not be superfluous to take into account the gender and age of the young recipient of the gift.
