Unique Gifts For Your Kids

Most kids will have a wish list prepared before any major gifting occasion, but there are times when you want to shop off-list. Sometimes you want to give a cool, creative, one-of-a-kind gift to a child in your life—whether it's your child, a niece or nephew, a friend's child, or whoever. Finding unique, good presents for kids for birthdays, Christmas, or other gift-giving occasions, like gifts for teens or tweens, can be difficult, but there is a lot out there, and you can rest assured that your standout present will have a special place in the recipient's memory for years to come.

These gifts are appropriate for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. They're also great for both boys and girls, so kids of any gender can enjoy whatever toy they want. Whatever your child's interests are, there's something here for them, and you're sure to find something within your budget. When you've finished shopping and wrapping, you'll know you've given something special. (Keep those broad white elephant gift suggestions for other occasions.)

Take a look at this list of great, cool gifts for kids and save yourself a trip to the toy store—you’ll thank yourself (and us) later.

1. Activity Boxes as Children’s Day Gift

Children love toys and games; so give them something useful instead. I am a fan of self-help activity boxes, which aid learning with fun. There are many brands of activity boxes available online or offline. Select the age criteria and suitability according to your kid. Subscribe or get just one, these boxes are quite engaging and keep them off gadgets or T.V. addiction.

2. Books

The lack of interest in reading among today's youth is arguably the biggest challenge facing today's parents. Most parents don't know what they're doing when it comes to encouraging their children to read. The best approach is to give them books. For children at the Montessori level or younger, pick out some visually appealing picture books. Cartoons with a clear message can be a huge boon to their development.

But just handing over a book won't cut it. Spend some time reading together as a group. The combination of your voice, facial expressions, and company can do wonders in inspiring your child's love of reading. Preschoolers would also appreciate receiving a humorous picture book or a simple storybook for Children's Day.

3. Indoor Garden Gift kits

Young minds are captivated when they get to put their theoretical knowledge to the test in hands-on ways. The best present is a beautiful miniature 'urban-gardenia' complete with gardening tools. Planting and caring for a garden is a great way to instill a sense of responsibility in children while also keeping them actively engaged.

A soil-cake starter, seeds, organic fertilizers, and a plan for watering and harvesting are all things you'll need. In addition, specifics about your garden. You can check with your neighborhood plant shops for more affordable options. My adores the morning blooming pink flowers on the tiny shrubs.

4. New Shoes

As the weather warms up, your children will inevitably spend more time outside, either playing in the driveway or running around the neighborhood (while safely maintaining their social distance, of course).

Getting your kid a new pair of shoes for the summer is a great way to make sure they have a good time playing outside. It's a great way to kick off the summer after they've been locked up for a while.

5. Lego Sets

Nobody can resist the excitement of a brand-new Lego set. Even if they're a pain to retrieve, you should celebrate Children's Day 2020 in a special way for your kids. In 2020, Lego will release more than 50 brand-new, highly-anticipated sets, just in time for some summertime mayhem.

There are Trolls-themed sets, Harry Potter-themed sets, and even spooky haunted houses among them. This is a fantastic option for keeping kids occupied during a quarantine.

Even if you can't make it to the local pool this summer, that doesn't mean you can't have a good time in the sun right in your own backyard. Give your kiddo a brand-new swimwear set as a gift and they'll feel like the coolest, most special kid in the world.

Disney is offering an additional 20% off of already reduced prices on swimwear, swim accessories, and towels. This includes Spiderman-themed swim sets and one-piece bathing suits that will transform your child into a lovable little mermaid.

7. Art Supplies

They may be bored with arts and crafts if you have been teaching your kids at home. However, as summer approaches, you can take your craft sessions outdoors, either on a patio or under a tree.

It's the perfect time to stock up on paints, fabrics, and more for summertime crafts at Michael's, which is currently offering 20% off all regular price purchases in addition to curbside pickup and same-day delivery.

8. Puzzles or Board Games

Both the parents and the children eventually broke down under the stress of the lockdown that followed Covid-19. The value of games like board puzzles was not lost on many parents. The reason for this is that kids are spending even more time in front of screens than before due to the rise in popularity of online education.

Therefore, a fantastic gift idea for Children's Day is games and puzzles. It's time to bring back all your favorite childhood games and brain teasers. Simple jigsaw puzzles featuring their favorite Disney Princesses, superheroes, or cartoon characters will not only be appealing, but will also be good for their mental development. The whole family can bond over a game of snakes and ladders or a round of beginner's scrabble.

The Monopoly can train future bosses of conglomerates, or simply make one of your family members rich. Time spent playing any of these games is time well spent.

9. Something Sweet – Chocolates

Sweets! I heard that they were bad for your teeth, right? Limit sugary treats to holidays and birthdays if you really care about your children's health. This way, they'll appreciate the sweets more than if you just gave them a box every time they asked for one. Also noteworthy is the celebration of International Children's Day.

Let them indulge this one day and get them a pretty box of chocolates, all tied up with a fancy ribbon and all. And if you want to make it even more memorable, have your kids give some of their candy to kids in need.

Spread the sweetness at orphanages and teach your kid the value of kindness and generosity with something sweet.

10. Educational Games

As was previously mentioned, stores like the WB Shop are presently providing excellent discounts on low-cost board games for children. Nonetheless, you can sneak in some learning opportunities. If you're looking for games that help kids learn about financial responsibility, we have some recommendations for you.

Fun and educational board games like Monopoly and The Game of Life are perfect for kids of all ages.

11. Personalized T-shirts or Mugs

Personalized gifts are always appealing to kids and adults alike. Love the happiness on the faces to find their names printed on T-shirts, Mugs, etc. They not only appease them but also adds to memorabilia later. They also learn how to take special care of these personalized items.

12. Bicycles or Skates

Bicycles, balancing bicycles, and roller skates all fit the bill as practical gifts that will help bring about positive change. Assist them in discovering and cultivating an interest in outdoor pursuits. This not only refreshes them from the juggle between school & home but also keeps them active.

Children in cities are losing their access to green spaces due to a lack of available land. Outdoor activities are a great way to spend quality time with your family and introduce your children to new experiences.

13. Guitar

This miniature version of a standard electric guitar includes an amplifier, so your budding rock star can start playing in no time. There are three different sizes available to accommodate your growing rock star, and the included flashcards and augmented reality game will have them singing in no time.

14. Princess Dolls

Give them your full focus and time on a consistent basis, not just today. It can be challenging at times, but right now is when they need you the most. Be encouraging, but not bossy. Show them the consequences of making a bad decision. However, with care, time, and affection. By the book, I mean.
