Kids are much easier to please with gifts than adults. However, that doesn’t mean you should slack off and give sloppy presents. You should always make sure that what you’re giving is something your child actually wants and could benefit from. 

If you want to skip toys and go for more unique gifts, why don’t you try customizing them?  Nothing can make kids feel more special than seeing their names or likeness on things, so this will surely be a hit. This short list of personalized gift ideas for kids includes items that are not only adorable, but also useful. They could even serve as mementos that they could look back on when they’ve become grown-ups.

Here are some great options to guide parents who are tired of the same old generic gifts:

  1. Custom Protective Gear

Face masks and shields are top necessities these days. Adapting to the new normal doesn’t mean you have to blend in with everyone else. You can mix safety and style by customizing protective gear with names, photos, or graphics that your children like. This is an excellent way of teaching your kids how to take part in the fight against the pandemic, while still having a little bit of fun.

  1. Personalized Comic Book

Make your children’s dreams and fantasies come true by turning them into comic book characters. They could be superheroes, princes or princesses, astronauts, fairies, or whatever they aspire to be when they grow up. Put them on an adventure that involves your family members, their friends, places they know, and their favorite things.

You can also incorporate these personalized storybooks into their nighttime routine. Reading their own story, no matter how many times over, would surely make bedtime a lot more fun and memorable.

  1. Indoor Playground Or Campsite

Since it’s not yet safe to go out, you can build a playpen or a makeshift camp i the comforts of your own home. You can gather around your living room or hang in the backyard. You can also personalize folding camp chairs with your children’s names and their favorite colors to complete the setup.

This idea is perfect for kids who love adventure, exploration, or are simply fond of the outdoors. Not only will the kids have fun, but this is also a great opportunity for the whole family to bond and spend quality time together.

  1. Kiddie Subscription Box

Monthly subscription boxes are perfect for boosting your children’s learning and creativity. You will find so many options that include goodies and educational activities for every hobby and interest. It doesn’t matter if your children love crafts, fashion, science, or sports—there's surely a subscription box that suits them.

Alternatively, you may enroll them in online classes if there’s a special interest they want to pursue or a skill they want to enhance. This is something they can do outside of their regular online schooling hours or during weekends.

It’s The Thought That Counts

Parents don’t mind spending extra time and effort just to make their children feel cared for. Personalized gifts are one of the best ways to let them know that you truly know and pay attention to them. Unwrapping these meaningful gifts could make some of the best memories of their childhood.
