1. Jewellery making kit
You can’t go wrong with a simple jewellery making kit, especially as most girls love getting creative. For younger children, opt for a jewellery kit that is simple, like a decorate-your-own tiara kit. For older girls, choose something a little more complicated, like a friendship making kit or a beading bracelet kit.
2. Dressing up costume
It’s a well-known fact that kids love to dress up, so buying a fancy dress outfit as a gift is ideal. Just make sure that you know the child’s dress size before buying. Unless you know that the birthday girl loves a certain Disney character, avoid buying a Disney costume. Instead, opt for something a little more diverse, like a cowgirl outfit or a doctor’s costume.
3. Space hopper
Space hoppers are a great gift; they are fun, suitable for all ages and great for getting kids to spend time outside. If you don’t know the birthday girl very well, don’t choose a gender specific colour, as they may not like it. Instead, opt for something neutral, like pastel blue, red or yellow.
Gift ideas for boys
1. Sports kit
Kids love playing outside, so a multi-sports play kit is the ideal gift. Plus, it is an excellent way to encourage them to keep healthy and improve their sports skills.
Make sure to opt for something that includes lots of different sports equipment, like a ball, hoop, cones, etc. If you know that the birthday boy is a fan of a certain sport, consider getting him a sports kit for that sport, such as a football play kit.
2. Toy car -An ideal gift idea for a boy is a toy car. Instead, of buying regular toy cars, have a look online for unique or retro toy cars, like dinky cars, for example. Toy cars are cheap to buy but make a perfect birthday gift as they can provide kids with hours of fun. If you can find a cheap car garage, that would also make an excellent gift.
3. Science kit
Kids love doing experiments, so a science kit is the perfect gift. Especially as it incorporates both fun and learning. The best thing about choosing a science kit as a birthday gift is that there are so many different options available. From chemistry kits to physics kits, there are various different science experiment kits to choose from. Just make sure to buy a kit that is appropriate for the age of the child.
