Christmas 2020: Gifts That Kids Will Find Interesting

Rather than buying the latest popular off-the-peg toy, there are more interesting gifts you can give kids this Christmas. But you will have to think outside the gift-box. To help you get started, here are some fun and interesting presents that are suitable for children of all ages.

A Personalized T-shirt

Kids love wearing T-shirts that feature their favorite cartoon characters, sporting hero, or TV show. Whatever the child is interested in, you will be able to find a fab T-shirt that features it. But a better idea is to create a personalized T-shirt. A wide variety of companies can take your image and print it onto a quality T-shirt. You could incorporate the kid’s name in the design, or you could feature a photo of the child with their favorite TV show character or sporting hero. Spend time coming up with a design guaranteed to put a smile on the little one’s face. You might like to make it Christmas-themed too.

A Tasty-treat Gift Hamper

ift hampers are not only for adults. Today, you can find a variety of hampers that are tailored to children. For instance, you can find special pirate hampers, mermaid hampers, and a kids’ snack pack. You will also find lots of Christmas hampers in 2020 that are packed full of tasty treats that children will love sifting through. And if children have special dietary requirements, today it is easy to find specialized gift hampers for kids who are vegan or have food allergies. With such an abundance of different products contained in one hamper, this interesting gift idea will keep a child happy for days.

A Fun Monthly Magazine Subscription

Do you remember the days before the internet when magazine subscriptions were more popular? In this day and age, where it is the norm for kids to spend a lot of time online, having a fun magazine that comes through the door with the child’s name on the packaging can be even more exciting than it was prior to the internet age. Having a physical object coming through the mail once a month helps the gift to last all year long. Just see how excited little ones get when that time of the month comes along again. Needless to say, choose a magazine that specific kids have an interest in, and that is age-appropriate. You could choose a magazine that covers sports, dinosaurs, or arts and crafts. The possibilities are almost endless. A magazine subscription will also build kids’ reading skills without them realizing it.

A Rocking Music Compilation

Do not overlook how fantastic home-made gifts can be. Rather than buying the latest plastic toy from the store, you can give a more meaningful gift by making a music compilation. This is an ideal present for children of all ages. Just adjust the types of songs you include. By carefully putting together a compilation of a child’s favorite songs, the kid will have a gift that he or she can enjoy over and over. And you get to enjoy it, too. Consider holding a dance party so you can all boogie along to the soundtrack. As part of your gift, you could even write a special party invitation to the child to make it even more interesting. As for the music compilation itself, you could put it on a USB flash drive and wrap it in a beautiful box with a bow. Alternatively, you could introduce kids to old-fashioned CDs. By giving a CD compilation, you have the opportunity of creating a fab cover and tracklisting. Finally, make sure you call the compilation something appropriate and cool, such as Alfie’s Super Song Mix. Image source: https://pixabay.com/photos/christmas-child-boy-gifts-joy-3027730/
