6 ideas for New Year gifts for children

The philosophy of consumer society, to whichA big stretch can be attributed to Russia, has, according to Grandpa Lenin, three sources and three components. In a simplified form, they can be formulated as follows: where to get money, where to spend it and how not to make a mistake in choosing what you buy.

If with the first two questions the Russians have at least understood, then with a choice there is a continuous headache. Especially it concerns gifts for holidays, infirst of all to children and, what is extremely unpleasant, New Year's gifts. Parents do not want to bring a good Father Frost, do not drop his authority in the eyes of the child, that they gradually go crazy.

Give them any unambiguous advice andadvice on such a sensitive issue is stupid and incorrect. First, everyone knows that children are sexually divided into boys and girls. What to do, but the toys, interests, hobbies of these two antagonistic groups are completely different. Therefore, pistols and dolls are in stores on different shelves.

Secondly, children in our understanding can be conditionally divided into three psychologically different age groups.

1. Children from 3 to 6 years old, who have not yet completely lost faith in Santa Claus and New Year's miracles. They do not know how to write, therefore, Father Moroz's requests are spoken orally and are immediately forgotten about them. It's a wonderful time when parents can give a child anything for the New Year.

2. Children from 6 to 9 years. The most dangerous age. Order for a gift, even with a bunch of mistakes can write (and this is already a document), but it is not yet possible to decide on preferences. Therefore, the list is constantly changing and supplemented, and poor parents, bulging eyes, until December 31 run around the shops.

3. Children 9-12 years old, who no longer ask for gifts from Santa Claus, but make very specific demands, and almost firmly know that the Snow Maiden who gave birth to them should put it under the Christmas tree. The ultimatum is motivated by school successes and future achievements. We chose just one category from all this chaotic children's population - boys from 6 to 9 years old - and we suggest that you consider six approaches to the selection of New Year's gifts.

Traditional

You can not puzzle, but just send your dadbuy those cars (aircraft, machine gun, radio-controlled tank), in which he did not play enough in his childhood or would like to play now. Perhaps, if a strong father's hand will participate in games with these items, the child will appreciate the gift of a good winter Grandfather.

Brandy

The most common category of gifts. Children, like adults, are under the constant pressure of advertising, current gaming brands, which they are continuously supplied by the industry of entertaining computer games, cartoons and good-quality toys manufacturers for children. The purchase of a one-time LEGO designer for 7,000 rubles, another robot from the Hero Factory for 900 or a Hot Wheels machine for 700 does not seem to be a big waste to the parents. Where they will lie next - the second question.

Gifts for Hobbits

In this category, we refer not to small fairycharacters, but quite specific boys who have a hobby, that is, a hobby. Children are not very many, but giving them presents is a pleasure. If the boy accidentally carried away philately, ufology, adores his home aquarium, then to make him a real miracle for the New Year is very simple. However, it is necessary to be at least a little in the topic.

Multimedia Fun

Many parents, themselves hooked on the needle of the latterachievements in the field of information and communication technologies, are trying to drag their children into this swamp from childhood. The message here is simple: the child is busy with something, playing something, does not bother anyone, and everyone is fine. We give him a smartphone or tablet for the New Year, and all the cases. Whether we should do this, we will discuss it in a separate article, here we will only pay attention to one detail: before giving a grenade to a soldier, one must teach him how to use it correctly.

Smart games and designers

Such gifts are usually chosen by mummies,concerned with the education of their son and trying to instill in him an interest in some, their own chosen field of knowledge. What will it be: a telescope, a set of "Young chemist" or an electronic designer, depends only on the parental fantasy. Typically, these toys are then dusted in cabinets and on the mezzanine, if the parents do not participate in their joint development.

Board games

What is this is known to all adults. For what they are intended, they have already forgotten. In any game, whether it's table hockey or a game with a child, you have to play, otherwise all sense of your gift is lost. If you are ready, the option is fine, moreover, you can start the whole family as soon as January 1.

Finally one small tip: it is better to give children for the New Year's holiday not one expensive gift, but several different, albeit different, but those that will be remembered for life.
