10 Birthday Gifts Your Kids Will Love
by Adriana Copaceanu
Everyone loves a special gift on their birthday: especially our kids! I
have put together a list of 10 memorable gifts you can gift your
children on their birthday without breaking the bank.
Art supplies: almost all kids enjoy crayons, markers, stickers, colored
pencils, gel pens, special papers and scissors, sidewalk chalk, water
colors, homemade rubber stamps, "how to draw" books calligraphy
instructions, or origami instructions and colored paper. An art supply
gift not only encourages the youngsters to use their imagination, but it
can be an extra treat when you spend time with them using them.
Books are always great gifts for any age: you can get musical or squeaky
books for the little ones, short stories for preschoolers, adventure
books for 9-11 year olds, and so on: there is a book for every taste.
You can also buy books about your child's interests, books about
careers, etc.
A classic movie, which never goes out of style, great for when friends
come over, or on that day when they are bored and nothing else could
help.
For older boys, a tool kit would be great: gives them the opportunity to
work side by side with dad, and possibly learn a life skill.
For older girls, beads could mean hours of fun. Buy a variety of colors
and shapes and watch you little princess enjoy hours of happiness.
To the gourmet give a roll of sugar cookie dough from the grocery store,
along with a couple of cookie cutters, and a rolling pin. Again, this
would be a lot of fun for the little one to make, and share with friends
and family.
For the nature lover, a gardening kit with a couple of small pots filled
with potting soil, some seeds, and a plastic watering can give countless
hours of fun, while caring for the plants, and watching them grow.
A disposable camera will add a boost to the party. If your budget
permits, add a small picture album, and you've instantly created
wonderful memories of that birthday.
A basket of fun: find an inexpensive basket, or another container, maybe
a pail for kids and fill it with fun, cheap stuff. For instance, silly
putty, a water gun, a deck of cards, sidewalk chalk, etc. For boys, you
can add some little cars and for girls, throw in some hair accessories.
Finish it off with some candy or a pez dispenser and you have a fun
gift. If you find some fun, small things that most kids think are neat,
pick up a bunch so that at any time you have a supply of items to mix
and match for a birthday.
Children crave attention from important people in their lives, (mom,
dad, grandparent, aunt, older sibling). Give that special child the gift
of time: a day out with you complete with lunch, a movie, and/or
shopping for the gift of their choice.
