How to Choose a Gift for Your Son for the New Year?

On New Year’s Eve it is cus­tom­ary to give gifts to every­one. But the most rev­er­ent gifts are cho­sen for rel­a­tives and friends. Every year, par­ents face this rather trou­ble­some task. And the more pleas­ant it is to see the joy of the gift if the son liked it.

Many par­ents make the mis­take of over­look­ing gifts for very young chil­dren and giv­ing for­mal gifts as adults. This approach is fun­da­men­tal­ly wrong:

• such fam­i­ly tra­di­tions teach to take care of oth­er peo­ple;
• care is always pleas­ant — along with the gift, aware­ness of the need and sig­nif­i­cance is giv­en, and this is one of the foun­da­tions of psy­cho­log­i­cal com­fort.

All New Year’s attrib­ut­es should be present in the life of a child from the first months of his life. It firm­ly occu­pies a place in his sub­con­scious. Even if the son is too small to for­mu­late his desires, there must be a small gift. As he grows, par­ents will have to take on the func­tion of San­ta Claus. More­over, in addi­tion to all oth­er gifts, mom and dad should also give their son. For the baby, sim­ple games with rat­tles, balls, cubes are suit­able. A lit­tle lat­er, he will need edu­ca­tion­al toys with many but­tons and switch­es. At an ear­ly age, objects with light effects and musi­cal accom­pa­ni­ment are most attrac­tive.

Con­sid­er what might be suit­able for a preschool­er from three years old as a gift.

• A set of toy char­ac­ters from your favorite car­toon. So the child will mas­ter the role-play­ing games. With their help, par­ents can sim­u­late var­i­ous sit­u­a­tions, teach the rules of behav­ior.
• Var­i­ous types of tech­nol­o­gy. All boys pay atten­tion to trans­port. Depend­ing on the inter­ests, you can choose an ambu­lance, an air­plane, a tank, a train, a truck crane as a gift. To diver­si­fy the games, var­i­ous acces­sories will be need­ed for trans­port — roads, gas sta­tions, park­ing lots, bus sta­tions.
• Con­struc­tor. It is with its help that you can effec­tive­ly devel­op not only fine motor skills, but also imag­i­na­tion. For starters, a sim­ple option with large details will do. As you grow old­er, the design­ers become more com­plex. The range of such prod­ucts is quite wide — you can find design­ers from blocks, Vel­cro, suc­tion cups and oth­ers.
• Sets for out­door games. It can be bowl­ing, hoops or a bas­ket­ball hoop. At the same age, you can think about acquir­ing a sports cor­ner, espe­cial­ly if there are sev­er­al chil­dren, or friends come to vis­it your son.
• Edu­ca­tion­al games. There are many card games for preschool­ers. Then you can try lot­to, rpg games, labyrinths and the like.
• Books. For starters, you can pur­chase edi­tions for the lit­tle ones — with music but­tons or panora­mas. Of par­tic­u­lar inter­est are books with stick­ers (it is bet­ter if they are reusable).

Since the hob­bies of a boy over sev­en years old are already ful­ly formed, gifts in can be more tar­get­ed towards them..

• Toys. At school age, chil­dren con­tin­ue to play active­ly. Boys still pre­fer tech­nol­o­gy — for exam­ple, trans­port on the con­trol pan­el. In addi­tion to the game, col­lectibles can be added. Anoth­er win-win option is con­struc­tors designed for a cer­tain age. For active games, you can buy blasters, pis­tols or a bow with arrows — sub­ject to safe­ty pre­cau­tions.

• Board games. They can be tar­get­ed at a dif­fer­ent num­ber of play­ers. Board sports games — hock­ey, foot­ball, bas­ket­ball deserve spe­cial atten­tion. They can be played at any age.

• Sports equip­ment. If the child is already involved in sports, he will need new equip­ment. In addi­tion, it is nev­er too late to learn to skate, ski or snow­board.

• Mate­ri­als for cre­ativ­i­ty and oth­er hob­bies. Dur­ing the peri­od of ele­men­tary school, the child should try him­self in dif­fer­ent areas. And if at first he needs a lot of plas­ticine or paints, then at an old­er age you can pur­chase a kit for mod­el­ing or robot­ics. Young researchers will be inter­est­ed in sets for sci­en­tif­ic exper­i­ments. It’s bet­ter to start sim­ple. If such a hob­by finds a response, you can think about addi­tion­al class­es with a teacher.

• Books. To devel­op vocab­u­lary, you need to read a lot of fic­tion. If the inter­ests of the child are con­cen­trat­ed in a par­tic­u­lar area, spe­cial­ized pub­li­ca­tions and ency­clo­pe­dias will always be appro­pri­ate.

• Tech­ni­cal devices. From the first grade, it is nec­es­sary to keep in touch with the child through a phone or smart watch. In ado­les­cence, there are more and more of them — play­ers, game con­soles, tablets, smart­phones and acces­sories for them are added.

At a con­scious age, it is quite pos­si­ble to ful­fill the dream of a son about a pet. And the New Year is a good occa­sion for this.

In order to please an adult stu­dent son for the New Year, there are a lot of ideas. For starters, you can give some­thing that he will real­ly use. More­over, in the first years of study, almost all stu­dents depend finan­cial­ly on their par­ents. For a first-year son, the equip­ment nec­es­sary for study or every­day life will be use­ful. As ll as inter­est­ing acces­sories for them — a com­fort­able key­board or mouse for a com­put­er, a case and a stand for a tablet.

In addi­tion to study­ing, oth­er inter­ests can be not­ed. For exam­ple, a music lover will like com­fort­able head­phones and speak­ers with good sound. For an ath­lete, a home hor­i­zon­tal bar, dumb­bells, and a pedome­ter are suit­able. For the tourist, the choice of acces­sories is also quite large. If it is real­ly dif­fi­cult to choose some­thing you need, it is bet­ter to give pref­er­ence in favor of a gift cer­tifi­cate to a par­tic­u­lar store.

There are times when a stu­dent needs to look sol­id. For this, gifts such as shirts, ties, purs­es are always rel­e­vant. The design and qual­i­ty of the clas­sics is time­less, so it is quite easy to choose them.. But with gar­ments, espe­cial­ly youth ones, it is quite easy to make a mis­take. It is bet­ter to give pref­er­ence to house­hold items — a bathrobe, paja­mas or a T‑shirt with a fun­ny inscrip­tion.

An adult son also needs care and atten­tion. Even if he and his par­ents are at a great dis­tance and can­not meet, you can send a pack­age, as ll as order goods on the Inter­net with deliv­ery.

• An adult man can be giv­en a good watch, jel­ry, cuf­flinks or a tie clip.
• If he has a car, cov­ers, a car vac­u­um clean­er and tools, care prod­ucts will do.
• For a per­son who is keen on fish­ing, a new spin­ning rod is suit­able. And in gen­er­al, if the son spends a lot of time out­doors, he will need a good fold­ing knife, a set of camp­ing uten­sils or a sleep­ing bag.
• Do not for­get about New Year’s sou­venirs. You can give a reg­u­lar or ther­mal mug with the sym­bols of the com­ing year.
• The most valu­able are hand­made gifts — knit­ted scarves, socks and saters. They are espe­cial­ly rel­e­vant in the cold.
• In addi­tion to things, you can cook a New Year’s cake, cakes or gin­ger­bread.

To make the New Year mem­o­rable for a long time, you can choose a non-stan­dard gift.

• For a boy, it is bet­ter to orga­nize a fun home hol­i­day with con­tests and treats. To do this, you can call San­ta Claus to the house and be sure to invite friends. In addi­tion to cel­e­brat­ing at home, you can arrange a trip to the enter­tain­ment cen­ter with a spe­cial pro­gram in the form of a New Year’s adven­ture.
• For a teenag­er and even an adult man, an unex­pect­ed but pleas­ant gift will be a tick­et to a con­cert of your favorite artist or group. The same rule applies to foot­ball fans — a tick­et for the long-await­ed match will be just what you need.
• New Year’s hol­i­days bring togeth­er all fam­i­ly mem­bers. To empha­size fam­i­ly uni­ty and have fun, you can orga­nize a trip to the cin­e­ma or to the skat­ing rink. And fam­i­ly pho­tos in a beau­ti­ful­ly designed stu­dio will help keep hap­py emo­tions as a keep­sake. It is bet­ter to make such a pas­time an annu­al tra­di­tion.
• New Year’s hol­i­days will become unfor­get­table if they are spent in warm regions. For an adult son, such a vaca­tion will be espe­cial­ly use­ful. An addi­tion­al gift will be a per­son­al­ized trav­el­er card.
• So that the New Year hol­i­days are not bor­ing, it is bet­ter to stock up on gift cer­tifi­cates for out­door activ­i­ties. It will be inter­est­ing for a man of any age to be at the helm of an air­plane or to mas­ter the con­trol of a trio of hors­es.

Choos­ing gifts for your son should be fair­ly sim­ple. After all, any par­ents know their child ll — what he prefers, what he does, what his inter­ests are. But in real­i­ty, every­thing is far from being the case. Few peo­ple real­ly know the dreams of their child, and with age, this prob­lem is even more exac­er­bat­ed. With­out this knowl­edge, the process of select­ing a gift becomes dif­fi­cult. In addi­tion to inter­ests, it is nec­es­sary to take into account oth­er nuances.

• The present may be direct­ly relat­ed to the activ­i­ties of the son. In this case, age is unim­por­tant. Acces­sories for study and work are always nice. In addi­tion to offi­cial employ­ment, any per­son has hob­bies and hob­bies — they should also be paid atten­tion to.
• You should not rely only on your own taste, because first of all the thing should please your son.
• It is bet­ter if the New Year’s gift is a sur­prise. To height­en the effect, it is nec­es­sary to think over the orig­i­nal way of pre­sent­ing it.
• To avoid annoy­ing over­lays, it is nec­es­sary to think over and pur­chase the desired item in advance. Spon­ta­neous pur­chas­es made at the last moment are rarely suc­cess­ful.
• If the cel­e­bra­tion of the New Year is not joint, deliv­ery is allod a lit­tle ear­li­er or lat­er. But even these terms should not be extend­ed. In extreme cas­es, there is mail or deliv­ery.
• Often the New Year hol­i­days turn into an exchange of gifts. You should not refuse this, even if there is no rec­i­p­ro­cal con­grat­u­la­tion. And even more so, you don’t need to select the equiv­a­lent of last year’s pre­sen­ta­tions or give the same in return. In gen­er­al, the select­ed items do not have to be expen­sive.

After the gift has been cho­sen, the ques­tion of its pack­ag­ing aris­es. It should also be thought out in advance and the nec­es­sary mate­ri­als pur­chased. Of course, you can resort to the ser­vices of pack­ag­ing spe­cial­ists, but it is bet­ter to take the time for this and enjoy the dec­o­ra­tion. First you need to think about how the gift will be pre­sent­ed. It can be placed under the Christ­mas tree or placed in a promi­nent place in the room, as ll as hand­ed in per­son.

There are actu­al­ly a lot of pack­ag­ing options. The eas­i­est is to choose the right size pack­age. Tra­di­tion­al dec­o­ra­tions include box­es wrapped in wrap­ping paper with New Year’s motifs. There may be sev­er­al lay­ers of paper and box­es — to pro­long the moment of antic­i­pa­tion of the sur­prise. Lay­er­ing will please both a lit­tle boy and an adult man.

More restrained, but at the same time touch­ing looks sim­ple plain paper. It can be dec­o­rat­ed with any impro­vised mate­ri­als.. At the peak of fash­ion, min­i­mal­is­tic design com­bined with hand­made. You can make or pur­chase a greet­ing card in the same style and fill it with warm wish­es.
