Christmas Gift Ideas for Children

Last updated on September 26, 2017

When Christmas time comes, we have to start thinking about gifts for everybody. We have family members, friends and neighbours who all need to be given something, and while it can be very stressful, it’s a wonderful time of year and it’s great to celebrate it with everybody you love. If you’re wondering about gifts to get for the children in your life, here are some ideas.

Gadgets and electronics

Depending on the age of the child, it’s often a good idea to talk to their parents first (unless you are the parent!) and let them know your intentions for buying their children a gadget or something electronic. Some parents don’t like their young children to be using gadgets at such a young age, while others will be perfectly fine with it. If they don’t want you to buy them, you won’t have to worry about wasting any money or potentially having to return something to the store. If the parents are happy with you buying gadgets for their kids, you can look at tablets, laptops, games consoles, laptops and iPhones.

Model trains and other transport

Young boys are often very much into cars, trains and other vehicles. If you know someone who is into vehicles and also into crafts and being creative, auscision model trains might be a great gift idea for you to consider. Even if they have never done anything related to model trains and toys before, it might be a great first experience that they will always remember (and always remember you for too!).

Experience and adventure days

Gifts don’t always have to something physical, and if you know a child, who seems to have everything that could possibly wish for, why not buy them an experience or adventure package instead? These types of gifts include rides in a helicopter or hot air balloon, zip wire experiences, kayaking and canoeing and many other things. This type of gift is ideal for any children who love being outdoors and are keen to try new things and overcome new challenges.

Movies and box sets

If you know that they have a favourite TV show or movie, why not buy them the movie on DVD along with a gift package of other things related to that particular show? You can buy stickers, notepads and pens, books, annual information books and board games and quizzes related to it. This is a great option if you know children who are particularly interested in a movie, actor or TV show.

Money and gift cards

If you’re really stuck and you can’t think what to buy, you can’t go wrong with money or gift cards to their favourite store or shopping centre. This means that after Christmas, they can go and buy whatever they want from the January sales – the perfect excuse to treat themselves and buy something they’ve wanted for a long time. It means you can stress less about buying the right thing, and they can ensure they buy what they really want.
