What makes a great gift?
The key to any great gift is that it appears to be especially picked for the receiver. So when buying a gift, it is important to keep the child’s interests and age in mind.
If you don’t know the child well or if you are unsure about their interests then ask to have an exchange card included. This will make it easy for the parents to swap the gift, if it turns out that it is not quite right.
And remember it is the thought that counts, and not the amount of money that you spend on the gift.
Gift ideas for newborns to 1 year olds:
During the first months, a baby will enjoy colourful books and soft toys, as well as listening to music.
Great last minute gifts are:
- beautiful activity mats
- stuffed animals such as a quirky giraffe or a cute elephant
- bath toys
- touch and feel books
- cloth books
- hanging mobiles
- CDs with children’s songs or soothing music
NB: Stuffed toys should be especially made for babies, and they should be without small parts such as buttons that can easily come off.
Gift ideas for 1 year to 3 year olds:
Around the age of 1, a child starts to explore the world around him or her and engage in more active play. Toys that encourage activity are therefore ideal as these will develop the child’s skills and keep them entertained at the same time.
Great last minute gifts are:
- wooden pull toys such as a dog or duck
- hanging mobiles with butterflies or planes
- a ride on fire truck
- wooden building blocks or Lego
- cool kids clothes
- puzzles
- books
Gift ideas for 3 year to 5 year olds:
From the age of 3, a child begins to enjoy more imaginative and creative play. As social and communication skills develop, the child starts to interact and play more with other children.
Great last minute gifts are:
- balls
- crayons and colouring in books
- dress up clothes
- cool kids clothes
- tool set
- baking or cooking set
- doctors set
- and of course story books
NB: Always make sure that the gift is suitable and safe for kids and that all materials used are non-toxic.
