New Year’s gift for a child 2020, gifts for children by age
What is the main thing for the New Year, except for the Christmas tree, Santa Claus and tangerines? Of course they are gifts. Children are looking forward to them, and parents are puzzled over how to please sophisticated children. healthy-food-near-me.com has compiled a guide to the most interesting and useful gifts for children of different ages.
To begin with, let’s recall the most important rule for choosing a gift for a child: remember the magic. Don’t try to substitute a practical present for your childhood dream. Otherwise, it will turn out like in an old joke about fake Christmas tree decorations: they shine, shine, but do not please. Educational toys and books are great. But not on New Year’s, but just like that, because it is necessary. Toys that seem beautiful to you, but not to the child, are generally a fake gift that will definitely not cause delight. In general, first of all, find out what is the cherished dream of your beloved child.
Of course, there is no need to ask head-on. Kids can be invited to write a letter to Santa Claus. If you don’t want the gift you bought to go “as a credit” to the magician, but it was from you, then the fraud with the letter will not work. You can read what gift is suitable for the child according to the horoscope. You know, it works too!
And, of course, when choosing a gift, it is important to take into account the age of the child. A soft toy will not always be of interest to a schoolchild, and a 4-year-old child may not be interested in a given educational book.
Gifts for children under 3 years old
Here, the best option would be a toy, and it is best to choose something developing. At this age, boys and girls have similar interests, so gifts practically do not differ.

Gifts for children aged 3 to 6
This is perhaps the most cognitive age. Preschoolers like to imitate adults in their games: girls prepare food for dolls, put them to bed, boys imagine themselves as drivers of trains and cars.

Encourage the craving for music, dance and sports by presenting any useful training attribute, but only if the child does them with pleasure, and not under the stick.
Kits for young biologists, physicists, chemists will help to interest the natural sciences.
A set of a spy or a set of a magician will be very exciting.

Gifts for children over 10 years old
Children from 10 years old and adolescents are waiting for gifts no less than babies, but they already know for sure that their parents will prepare them. Discuss in advance what they would like to receive.
Often teenagers ask for tablets, mobile phones, iPods. To avoid misunderstandings, discuss your financial capabilities with your child in advance, specify the desired model of the gadget. Do not worry – the fact that this will not be quite a surprise will not diminish your joy.
Wireless headphones are just convenient after all. And you will not worry that the child shoves the phone into his pocket, and not into the bag, just because the wires are in the way. But choose high-quality ones so that your child’s hearing is not affected.
An excellent option would be a gift-impression. At normal times, it could be a trip to a water park, a ticket to a concert of your favorite band, playing with friends, for example, laser tag, passing a quest. Now this is difficult due to the pandemic, so consider what experiences can be safe.
Girls will be delighted with beautiful clothes. But you need to choose an outfit together.
Boys (and girls as well) will enjoy complex constructors, radio-controlled car models, interactive toys and programmable robots. A young biologist will be able to appreciate a small microscope, and a kit for conducting experiments can bring a lot of joy to a future chemist.
Many people like gyro scooters, skateboards, rollers.
Both boys and girls are beginning to show more and more interest in beauty products. Boys, by the way, are ashamed of this, but in vain.
Teenagers begin to independently manage some amounts of money. They will surely find the money they donated to spend. But New Year is not the best holiday for giving money. Keep in your family the tradition of giving gifts, chosen with love.
Little trick
How the gift is wrapped is also important. Take the time to wrap it in beautiful paper with a bow. This design will immediately create a sense of celebration and intrigue.
Gifts can be traditionally placed under the Christmas tree, or they can be spread throughout the house and connected with strings, imitating the route. Try hanging snowflake signs over the place where the gifts are hidden. The child will definitely get a lot of pleasure from such a game. And whatever the gifts, he will be very glad to them.
