100 best gifts for the New Year 2020 for children of different ages and gender

When choosing a gift, you should adhere to certain rules:

1. Do not delay the purchase until the last momentTry to get a gift a few weeks before the holiday. Otherwise, you risk simply not finding the right gift because of the New Year's bustle.
2. If the child is small and still believes in miracles and fairy tales (and knows how to write), and the parents do not know what their child dreams of, invite him to write a letter to Santa Claus or draw a gift that he wants to receive. The kid, for sure, will tell his grandfather what he dreams about, and adults will only have to realize his dream.
3. With children over 9-10 years old, discuss what they want to receive for the holiday. If you want to make a surprise, let the child suggest several options.
4. Choose quality and practical things. Toys, vehicles or electronics should last the child as long as possible. If a thing breaks down quickly, then instead of joy you get one frustration.
5. For children older than a year, choose a present based on gender. At this age, toys can no longer be universal.
6. Even simple gifts should not look cheap. The manifestation of taste and sense of style is important.
7. New Year's gifts should correspond to the age of the recipient. It is also important to pay particular attention to safety. The toy must be made of quality materials, have a certificate. For babies up to three years, choose toys that do not have easily detachable small parts, protruding threads, elements that can injure a child.
8. Do not forget about the packaging. Colorful packaging creates a festive atmosphere and will extend the joyful anticipation when unwrapping the gift. If the store does not provide packaging, wrap the present yourself in gift paper and tie it with ribbons.
9. The child will remember your gift if it is unusual and useful for him.. Ordinary things, such as clothes, school supplies, etc., are unlikely to surprise modern children. children like everything bright and this should be remembered.
10. When choosing a gift, consider the tastes and interests of the child. It is unlikely that your child will be happy if you give him a thing that you yourself dreamed of as a child or what you yourself thought was necessary and useful, without taking into account the needs of the recipient.

Many believe that on New Year's Eve you can give children sweet presents, but they probably already received a bag of sweets at school or at the Christmas tree. Winter celebration is already connected with the festive table, which, as a rule, is full of goodies, and, frankly, children expect completely different surprises from their parents.

The children are different for everyone - someone is not even one year old, someone is three years old, and someone is already at school, but they all are waiting for a special gift from their parents, grandparents, because on this magical New Year's Eve the most secret dreams come true . Let's look at what gifts you can give children, depending on their gender and age, so as not to miscalculate. Look at the gift lists and choose the option that suits your child and what he does not have yet.

We choose gifts for babies up to a year

Kids up to a year actively learn the world, and they will be interested in any present: a rattle, a ball, a pyramid. It is best to ask your parents how to please a baby. Maybe young dad and mom would prefer to get a set of diapers or packaging with baby food for the New Year 2020. If you want to make a surprise, then a good gift for a baby can be:

• Electronic swing or chaise lounge for babies. The swinging center is a great gift. The baby in it is comfortable and calm, and his parents will free their hands and have more free time;
• A set of dishes for babies. Manufacturers create beautiful and safe sets of dishes that will help the baby to eat on their own. You can choose a mug-spill, beautiful plates, spoons that change color under the influence of elevated temperature;
• The business board is a development board that contains a wide variety of entertainments for kids: from lacing to counting material: rings, cubes, beads that can be moved and counted. Such a board will captivate the child for a long time and will serve him for at least 2-3 years. (We read an article about how to make a bodyboard yourself);
• A toy wheelchair or a stroller for a girl. Toys that can be rolled on a stick or on a rope are loved by kids. In addition, a wheelchair with a stick-holder is an indispensable "simulator" for those who take their first steps. With such "support" the baby feels more confident when learning to walk;
• Developing mat. A rug with fixed rattles and toys is also a good way to entertain and entertain the baby. And he will surely become a favorite place for games;
• Educational toys. Now you can find many educational toys for every taste. These are pyramids, soft cubes, musical toys and much more. Children like this product very much and contribute to harmonious development.

When choosing a gift, be sure to pay attention to the quality of the product. The main thing is that the toy does not have small parts that can be swallowed, put in the ear or mouth, as well as elements that can injure the baby. The product must be certified and hypoallergenic. The item must be safe. If the toy says "from 3 years old", don’t give it to the baby, even if you don’t see the obvious danger ...

A child up to a year of a toy, by and large, by itself is not needed. The leading activity of this age, which determines all mental development, is communication with adults. A toy is just a tool for developing some skills under the guidance of an adult. For example, a rattle is not intended to just rattle it: it helps to develop visual and auditory orientational reactions, and later - manipulations. At this age, the child does not need dolls, cars, toys with lots of functions. If you really want to buy something - let it be, for example, a mini-piano or other toy with convenient buttons or keys for pressing, which the baby can cope even without the help of adults.

Gifts for children from one to three

Toddlers grow quickly, and even one-year-olds already understand that a holiday has come. The children rejoice with their parents, admire the decorated Christmas tree and, of course, are waiting for gifts and miracles. Developing gifts are also suitable for kids from one to three years old, but now they will be more difficult than presentations for the smallest. You can choose:

• Constructors or mosaics. Pay attention to the details. They should be large so that they cannot be pushed into the nose or ear, and it is also convenient to hold;
• Vehicles (Wheelchair or rocking chair, tolokar, runbike). For the smallest ones, wheelchair cars are suitable, on which they ride, pushing off with legs, runbikes (if the child has a well-developed balance) or rocking horses. Similar toys develop coordination, dexterity and learn to keep balance;

And the girl - a new doll, a set of dishes or a house.

When buying toys, pay attention to quality. Check the certificates, make sure that the toy is strong enough and not fall apart as soon as the child picks it up. The product should not have an unpleasant smell and molt.

New Year's gifts for elementary school students

Children grow, their needs grow. Often a first-grader asks Santa Claus for a personal laptop or iPhone. It is appropriate to give such presents only to parents and closest people. But you can please the elementary school student with other gifts:

• Winter sports items: skis, hockey or figure skates, vehicles, snowshoes, etc .;
• Sets of children's cosmetics and perfumes for girls;
• Car tracks or garage complexes with a set of cars;
• Sets for spies (they usually include binoculars, invisible ink, listening devices and other interesting devices and devices);
• Toy railway;
• Snezhkolep;
• LEGO Designer Collections;
• Board games (football, hockey, billiards);
• Transformers robots;
• Games for PC and game consoles;
• Beautiful, fashionable doll. Be sure to specify which dolls are now in fashion with modern schoolgirls (Barbie, Bratz, Monster High, Winx, Baby Born);
• Doll-heads for braiding and creating hairstyles;
• Interactive toys. Now there are many interactive toys that can talk or perform simple actions;
• Volumetric puzzles;
• Set for home puppet theater;
• Sports equipment for active boys and girls - skates, skis, balls, a beautiful sports suit, football boots, jump ropes, hoops, a punching bag or a simulator;
• For the development of creative abilities - an easel, watercolor and oil paints, a large album for drawing, a set of paintings by numbers for coloring, a set of polymer clay, plasticine. Musically gifted children can be given a children's electric guitar, a singing and recording microphone, a synthesizer, CDs with your favorite musical compositions and songs.

It is at this age that girls and boys want to become owners of videos, a skateboard, a bicycle or a scooter.

Gadgets cannot be avoided here: first-graders also have smartphones and tablets. Children do not part with them and largely assert themselves due to the presence of a “cool” toy. This must be limited, controlled and regulated. When a child stares at the screen for days on end, it harms his eyesight, psyche, emotional and volitional sphere, and his relations with his peers, because the child replaces a live game with virtual reality. I'm not saying that all gadgets are harmful, but you can donate not a tablet or smartphone, but a gyro scooter, a children's camera, a microscope, a telescope, and a robot.

You can also find unusual kits for creativity. These are models that create from paper and cardboard, wooden spoons or nesting dolls for painting, sand murals and much more.

What you should not give is school supplies. Vacations are a time of relaxation and entertainment. In addition, the child probably has a pencil case or briefcase, perhaps of better quality than you were going to give.

And one more tip. Before you go to the store, look at what is now fashionable among younger students (read the articles and watch the video). Last year it was spinners, this fall - foam plastic planes. A fashionable toy is sure to please the student. Young students are very vulnerable and very dependent on public opinion. Therefore, it is important to choose a present that classmates will approve.

Choose a gift for a child for 9-12 years

Children of this age do not need to give frankly "children's" gifts. They may be offended by a doll or a set of cars. After all, the guys themselves consider themselves to be teenagers.

Teenagers can also be presented with gift cards, certificates or money. At this age, children themselves will be able to choose the right thing for themselves. In addition, such a gift will emphasize that you see in them an independent responsible person, which will undoubtedly be pleasant for the child.

Any gift will complement a sweet surprise: elite chocolate, a set of chocolates, oriental sweets. But do not take sweets as a separate gift. As a rule, children receive enough sweet gifts for the New Year 2020, and they expect more “material” gifts from loved ones 😉
