Top 3 Christmas Ideas For Kids
When you hear the phrase 'Christmas ideas for kids'
, what instantly springs to mind? A bottle of fine, aged whiskey? A pearl necklace? Or is it toys, toys and more toys? There are so many Christmas ideas for kids, from dinosaurs to baby dolls, action figures to teddy bears, ponies and video games and remote control cars and just about every single toy imaginable as long as it is, you guessed it, a toy.Not only do kids get to experience all the excitement and whimsy of Father Christmas sneaking into their house to leave a hoard of gifts, but they also get the joy of spending all of fifteen seconds tearing the wrapping paper off the ridiculously huge pile of toys which it took four hours, six cups of coffee and probably some aspirin to wrap. If you have ever been witness to this notorious scene as an adult, you can perhaps see how it is easy to think that children wouldn't really care about the subtleties of their presents or what is considered the best gift, but this is not actually true. Children are highly perceptive of the differences between the blond and the brunette dolly, the raptor and the T-Rex and, as anybody who has made the mistake of getting their child the wrong toy can attest to, the resulting upset is not the most pleasant of Christmas morning scenes.
Of course, there is no definitive list of objectively good gifts to get for a kid; as long as little Janie gets the doll she asked Father Christmas for and little Joseph gets his monster truck, the idea of contemplating the worth of their presents thankfully never enters into their sweet little heads. But, of course, there are a few Christmas ideas which go beyond just being toys. It can be dangerous to stray too far from the young one's letter to Father Christmas when choosing toys for children but, by virtue of their unusual and non-traditional qualities, these fail safe alternatives have stood the test of time to come out again and again as one of the top three #Christmas ideas for kids.
The first of these fail safe Christmas ideas is to get the child something intangible. An experience day is a gift which cannot be lost or broken, which can't be the wrong colour or the wrong type and can be treasured for years to come in the child's memory. Experience days can be almost as exciting to the child as Christmas Day itself, especially if it is something which they have never done before. A tour of their favourite football stadium and the chance to stand in the same spot in which they watch their heroes play every week, or a day pass to Alton Towers theme park to ride their first rollercoaster is an invaluable experience which every child would love and which is certain to stand out from their other presents on that day. Aside from the obvious benefits of seeing their child's face light up with enjoyment and forming some fond and enduring memories, perhaps the most enticing reason for any parent to buy their child an experience day instead of a material gift is that it is one less thing to wrap the night before.
The second of the top three Christmas ideas for kids is sweets. It may sound simplistic, but sweets represent an entire world of possibilities when it comes to creating the perfect gift for a child. A jar of unusual and interesting sweets is not only guaranteed to be enjoyed by your child but might also pique their interest and afford you some bonding time, if they ever calm down from all that sugar. Sweets are intended to be perishable so, unlike that doll's house you spent a fortune on which is broken within a week, sweets have an inherent end date at which point they will be gone, but the impact of the gift will not have been diminished for having been disposed of.
Finally, of all the Christmas ideas, personalisation is the most certain to be appreciated by kids everywhere. For some reason, children adore things which bear their name. It is the bane of unusually named kids everywhere that they cannot find a pencil or a keychain bearing their name. Personalising a trinket, whether it be a poster, a calendar, a necklace or a jewellery box, commands a certain respect from the child as the present is no longer disposable or insignificant, but is specifically theirs.
