The best Christmas gifts for children
The absolute highlight, however, are of course the gifts that make children's eyes light up under the Christmas tree for girls and boys. We have put together some tips on Christmas gifts for children so that parents can buy gifts as relaxed as possible and not degenerate into stress year after year.
Christmas gifts for children: tips and tricks
For parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other friends and relatives, the question arises every year: What should we give? Which Christmas gifts for children are the right ones? And how high can the price be? Especially when you are looking for gifts for the children of others, the selection is large, but the decision is not exactly easy. Lego or Playmobil, unicorn or Knight's castle: What does the child prefer to play with at the moment? What things does it already have? What gifts do parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and godparents give? How is Christmas giving a real success? We have a few basic tips for anyone looking for Christmas gifts for children:
- The parents ask what the child wants for Christmas or what he can use. This means that overlaps with other Christmas gifts can often be ruled out and you get an idea of the direction in which you can choose Christmas gifts. Because: It doesn't always have to be a toy!
- The children ask. But be careful: caution is required! After all, many children believe in Santa Claus or the Christ Child. And you don't want to destroy this magic of Christmas for them. Then you better ask subtly about the wish list.
- Talk to other relatives and friends about what they give. Ideally, you don't give anything twice (and if you do: always keep the receipt!) Or you can even team up so that the child can perhaps look forward to a slightly more expensive gift for a few euros more, which they wanted. At the same time, it will not be overwhelmed by too many gifts. Because unfortunately that can quickly become overwhelming and the giving of presents becomes rather stressful.
- Exchanging ideas with other parents: For example, ask the neighbors and get inspiration for Christmas gift ideas. Or the friends who have just become grandparents. This gives you a feeling for what you could give as a gift – and whether you might overdo it with games, the pirate ship and the fire station from Lego, Playmobil and Co.
Christmas gifts for babies
Sure, babies don't care what's under the Christmas tree for them. Parents and grandparents would still like to give something to the little ones. How about, for example, these Christmas presents for the baby:
- A Night lightthat projects stars onto the nursery ceiling. When traveling, visiting grandma and grandpa or anywhere else in a strange environment: the cute companion makes you feel at home everywhere.
- The first Doll – Especially when the baby is a few months old, baby dolls or rag dolls are becoming more and more interesting for the little ones. Incidentally, this can apply equally to girls and boys.
- Keys, whisk, smartphone: more exciting than most Baby toys, for the little ones are mostly exactly the objects that mom and dad have in their hands every day. For babies, for example, there are key rings, smartphones and remote controls that are age-appropriate. The main thing is to press buttons, then the little ones will be happy.
- Animal figurines always go at Christmas: You can even bring them with you bathtub or taken to the playground.
Christmas gifts for toddlers
Unpacking gifts is of course a great pleasure even for toddlers. But it doesn't have to be that many Christmas presents. It is not uncommon for girls and boys to be overwhelmed after the third gift and lose interest in the other packages. Less is often more at this age – so you also need fewer gift ideas.
- Bobby car, Puky Wutsch and Co .: Vehicles are a big hit at this age and make children's eyes light up under the Christmas tree.
- Books are already very popular. From the age of two, it can be real reading stories – also in personalized form.
- Children's kitchen and Grocery store are very popular with two to three year olds, including accessories, of course.
- Little doll mothers and dads are of course happy to have their first fleet of vehicles. Toys in the form of buggy, stroller and carrying case are definitely a highlight for little doll fans.
Christmas presents for four to six year olds
- If Bibi and Tinawho have favourited Olchis or Paw Patrol: the selection of radio plays, books and puzzles is huge and delights girls and boys alike.
- pony Farm, Knight's castle, dollhouse and spaceship: Playmobil and Lego are also very popular with many children and ensure fun in the children's room.
- Board games are already well received at this age. From the classics orchard and Lotti Karotti up to the first U.N: Fun for the whole family and a nice pastime, especially in the dark season.
- And to let off steam: a trampoline, one Bouncy mattress, a scooter, ice skates or your first bike are also great gift ideas.
Christmas gifts for children: respect the wishes of children and parents
One thing that should be taken for granted: It is up to you what you want to give. You shouldn't have too rigorous guidelines as to what you MUST give. But just as important: If children or parents have wishes that should NOT be given, you should respect them and not disregard them. Otherwise this can quickly backfire and cause displeasure under the Christmas tree. After all, they all have the same goal: sparkling children's eyes who are happy about their gifts. And nothing needs to be exaggerated.
All of these Christmas gifts for children will definitely please nieces and nephews, grandchildren, children of friends and sponsored children. We wish you a lot of fun giving gifts and a Merry Christmas!
