Out With The New, In With The Old!

Nowadays we live in a world saturated with technology. From phones that double as satellite navigation systems to remote controls that control your entire household, it is impossible to ignore the robotic generation developing before our eyes. When it comes to buying Christmas gifts or indeed gifts for any occasion, it is very easy to lean towards electronic items as we tend to assume that it is the only form of gift that will truly be appreciated. This is especially the case with children. Children are up to date with all the latest technological inventions and it is very tempting to indulge their interest. There is nothing wrong with a new computer game, mobile phone or household gadget but we have to remember that kids are meant to be kids. They need fresh air, exercise and colour in their cheeks. Childhood obesity experts are becoming more and more concerned that all the hours spent in front of television and computer games will result in major health issues later in life for today’s children. So when choosing gifts for children why not think back to your own childhood and what you would have appreciated.

One such example is an experience day package. With such a wide range of choice it’s an easy way to get kids active and away from that damned television screen. One option is go-karting. It’s fun for all the family and can be quite competitive! There’s canoeing, jet boat rides, horse-riding, golfing and more! All these activities get kids out of doors and you may even spark off a new and healthier hobby!

If you are shopping for a cheaper gift, then why not go for something more meaningful like a personalised gift? These span a wide range of choices and we all know how much kids love having something with their own name on it. In this day and age, children’s names are becoming more varied and unusual, so for these children, having a titled item of their own is truly something special.

Kids will just love the wide range of printed t-shirts now available. Whether it features a photo of them and their friends, or their favourite football team or pop star, you can be sure if you personalise it to suit their interests that it will go down a treat. What about a custom made teddy bear? These bears are created by you. You choose every single detail and can really make sure that the cuddly toy appeals to your child. Other teddy bear options are the ones that come with personalised clothing. For example, a teddy bear wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with “Lucy’s Bear” will be a roaring success.

Other personalised options include calendars, filled with photos of the recipient and his/her friends, photo frames, keepsake boxes, bedroom door signs (LUCY’S BEDROOM), mugs and even their very own coaster and placemat. A good option for school goers is personalised stationery. No more swapping/losing rulers, erasers, pens and pencils as not only will they feature the child’s name but will come in a pencil case also with the same feature! Wouldn’t it be lovely to know that your gifts were being used every day, impressive AND practical.

An excellent personalised option, which will tear them away from the computer screen, is a personalised board game. The game will feature their names as characters and places they have been as places on the board. So pick a classic childhood game and get personalising!

Whatever you choose for the child you are buying for, aim to match their personality. The worst case scenario is watching a child’s face fall when they tear off the wrapping paper. So whether it’s an experience day package, a personalised gift or even a shop bought item, make sure you know EXACTLY who you are buying for.
