eople want to buy for your kids and they will give something. PIf you have a strong view on what that thing shouldn’t be, make it known beforehand. To be fair, you should also try to give some thought +   " to what they may like. Gifts are made to make some- one happy and satisfied. When it      comes to the kids, the best of the all gifts and things should be those products that are useful as well as        entertaining for them. Gift should not harm to detract the child for good and bad habits. The best     " thing about choosing a gift for children is to help their parent  4 choosing a thing that is not only best thing to play and learn but the most suitable and safe product as well. Gifts are very important for healthy and energetic minds. So, whenever child do any of the good thing or activity this would be a positive sign to gift them as a reward for their motivation. Gifting small kids in each and every aspect will make them feel happy. Gifts for kids may vary depending upon the boy and girl. For boys you need to gift with the vehicle toys of different kinds and cycle, etc. For girl baby you can gift toys related to images of small babies, flowers and kitchen wear. Even gifting the clothes will be very useful for them. You can also gift chocolates of different varieties and biscuits. You can take them to restaurants for a lunch on their birthdays or even giving the books or pens which they required in schooling. Kids have a pretty uncluttered mind, they don’t care if something is down market or up market, !  %       $  #  !!   %% $

Now a days various types of activity books are available like drawing and colouring books, paper craft, etc, it is a good way to keep them engaged and keep them away from TV. For girls we can gift some dolls or soft toys, for boys we can gift them some good remote control toys which they love to play. A box of chocolates or cookies is loved by kids of all age group. On special occasions like fes- tivals and birthdays we can gift them apparel of their choice. School going kids need too many stationaries like pencil, colour pencils, lunch boxes, crayons, glitter pens, pencil box etc. So these stuff make ideal gift for them as they are too happy to receive new stationaries. For very small kids below 2 years of age, one can gift baby kits containing baby bath, baby oils, lotions, etc. So choose a gift according to occasion keeping in mind the choice and preference of kids as give them those gifts with good packaging (which excites them) with lots of love and blessings.
