How to Pick Perfect Presents for Kids If you have a special relationship with a child, whether it's your own child, a niece or nephew, or a friend's child, you want to find a "just right gift" – one that won't be tossed aside when it's time to open the next gift. You want to give something that will enrich the child's life in some way. You want to find the perfect blend of education and entertainment. And you want it to be special. Because you have a special relationship, you probably know quite a bit about the child, so the first thing you'll want to do is to make a list of everything you know about the child's hobbies and special interests.

Now take one of those interests or hobbies and go in a slightly new direction. If the child loves dressing her Barbies, purchase a fashion design kit.
