Christmas Gifts For Children
Christmas is fast approaching and the shops are about to start heaving
, post is about to get delayed and all too soon you will be able to hear carols and festive tunes wherever you go. Christmas is a controversial subject especially in November and early December when it is still far away enough for it not to be imminent, yet pictures are starting to appear on our favourite social media sites of meticulously decorated trees and obscene amounts of Christmas lights strewn almost everywhere.The modern day and commercial view of Christmas is that it is a time for celebration, gift giving and spending quality time with friends and family. It is a high maintenance season where enormous amounts of food are purchased and subsequently consumed. Gifts are mulled over, shopped for and often then returned by the receiver. Gift giving can be seen as highly stressful by people of both sexes but is usually approached very differently by each. Recent findings by digital marketing agency iProspect, earlier this year report that 70 percent of affluent men prefer to do their shopping research and purchases online. This research makes sense as most of us have experienced taking a male shopping in a crowd and experienced, first hand their less than positive reaction!
Gift giving is an act of showing care and appreciation of ones family, friends or workmates. Each gift is individually selected, taking into consideration their likes and dislikes, desires and pet hates (and showing that you have been listening to them for the duration of your relationship!) How well you have or have not chosen can have a lasting impact on that relationship, particularly amongst females.
When gifts are good choices then relationships improve and your receiver feels gratified, but how do you make that choice in a world where many people have causes close to their hearts such as products which were made overseas and produced by workers on little or no wage. Also, the material which the product is comprised of is controversial; wood vs plastic, natural fibre vs synthetic and if the product is recycled or responsibly sourced. Gift giving has become far more complicated.
There has been a lot of media interest recently in a Swedish company making and advertising their childrens toys as gender neutral, showing images of boys cradling dolls and girls shooting toy guns. However you feel personally on the subject, it cannot be denied that even Christmas has not escaped invasion of political correctness, so buy wisely!
Surely one of the most commonly asked questions at Christmastime is: What do you get the person who has everything? A subject of despair for many shoppers which often results in the answer A better one of something they already have, which can be expensive and stressful. For those which are blessed with the ability and time to handcraft gifts, this is an ever increasing in popularity solution.
Gift giving for children can also be tricky as they often want the latest expensive craze advertised on kids television, which they subsequently quickly loose interest in. A coming of age gift is an exciting option such as a big kids bike, first make-up set, a musical instrument or even a mobile phone.
Most importantly, try to enjoy the process of gift giving and do not succumb to the pressures of spending vast amounts of money. Buy thoughtfully and considerately and in good time and your gift will be well received. Good Luck!
