The Complete Christmas
Collection
Christmas Recipes, Crafts
and Kids Activities and xmas stories. What
do boys want for Christmas?
Every year, there would be one particular
item that every child must have. That would probably be the gift the kid would
pester mom or grandma for. If the little boy in question tells you what he wants
for Christmas and it is within your budget, then problem solved. That is the ideal
gift for him.. that is, if it is not something that is potentially dangerous like
firearms or anything inappropriate for a boy his age.
What if the boy
does not tell you what he wants, or the gift he asks for is out of the question?
What are the gifts that boys like that are appropriate for his age?
Kids
basically like whatever they see on TV.
Take a cue from his favourite
program. If he has to watch Justice League every week, then he would be thrilled
to receive Justice
League action figures. Likewise if he is crazy about Curious George, he would
be thrilled by a curious
george soft toy.
I have 2 boys myself. Whenever they see the ads while
watching their favourite program, they come running to me with "Mommy, I want..."
whatever they see on TV. If you think what appears on TV shapes their tastes,
you should see their reaction after watching a movie. After watching The Incredibles,
they wanted every one of the Incredibles
toys they saw at fast food outlets, shops.. basically everywhere we went.
This section on Birthday
gifts for boys applies to Christmas gifts too. Based on what my boys are crazy
about. They have a common interest in cars, superheros, gadgets, build it yourself
models and trading cards which they share with the other boys their age in school.
If you know the child well enough, buying that perfect gift is a cinch.
Just pay attention to the childs interest and you are bound to find the appropriate
gift in the stores.
Based on what my kids loved at the different stages
of life, I compiled this. Christmas
gifts for boys by age to list down the things my boys were crazy about each
year in their lives.
What if the childs parent disapproves of your choice
of gifts.
What seems perfect to the kid may be too trivial, to distracting
or a bad influence in the eyes of the parent.
Ask the parent what you
should get that boy for Christmas and the parent would recommend books or clothing.
Practical things. The kid would want an xbox or some game. Fun stuff.
So
how do you reconcile the two?
Educational games would meet both sets of
demands. Fun and educational gifts for kids would be good. My sister gave a cranium
game to my kid for his birthday and he loved it. Even his dad was impressed
by the educational value of the game. Practical because I child learns math, language
and thinking skills through the game. The kids love it too because it is fun.
