What to give to the goddaughter?

Becoming a godfather or godmother is not just taking part in a beautiful church rite, but also voluntarily taking on a number of obligations that relate to the spiritual development of a godson or goddaughter. It is believed that godparents should annually wish their godchildren a happy birthday. And the gift should not only bring joy to the birthday man, but also contribute to his spiritual growth. Presents, of course, are chosen depending on the age of the children and their inclinations.

On the first birthday of a child, boy or girl, parents are usually presented with items that are necessary for caring for a one-year-old baby, and a variety of educational toys. Of course, this gift will be more intended to facilitate the work of parents. And for the goddaughter herself, on her first birthday, you can give children's clothes - it is better that it be something practical, for example, a winter overalls or boots.

Just a beautiful dress that the girl will wear, most likely, only on this day, will not be the most useful present. And you can also present the accessories necessary for the daily care of the child:

• a bathtub or thermometer to measure the temperature of the water;
• teether;
• child car seat or carrycot;
• arena.

Of course, a one-year-old child is already beginning to be interested in toys. Here you must first of all focus on the age of the baby.

If you want to give a three-year-old girl a toy, then you should take into account that at this age personal preferences are already formed, so now you need to focus not only on the age qualification of a particular product, but also on the child's desire. The most common and almost safe option in this case is a doll. Give preference not to Barbie dolls, which are popular with older girls, but to large dolls.

Games in the classic "mothers and daughters" give birth to a maternal instinct in a little girl, which will be very useful to her in the future.

And also at this time of life, the child needs educational games, which include cubes (preferably with pictures or letters), a constructor (without small and sharp parts), musical instruments, books (preferably with durable cardboard pages), pyramids, drawing boards. In addition, toys aimed at developing creative abilities, which include finger toys (with their help a girl can arrange whole home shows), a set of plasticine, and compact sandboxes, can become a great gift idea for a young dreamer.

For the fifth birthday, it is still appropriate to give a doll to the goddaughter. But you can also give her a baby doll stroller, a dollhouse, a set for caring for a toy baby.

In addition, at this age girls like to try on all sorts of professions, so for their birthday they can be given, for example, set "Young Doctor" (cook, hairdresser, policeman, etc.).

An excellent option for a girl 5-6 years old would be bike or scooter. If your goddaughter lives with her parents outside the city, then products for outdoor games will be an excellent gift for her: inflatable slides, houses, tents, pools and more. In general, any sports equipment, whether it be jump ropes, crossbars, a sports wall or a swimming board, will come in handy for a child at this age.

With the permission of the parents, you can give the girl baby cosmetics, for example, hygienic lipstick with a pleasant scent, eau de toilette with a slight sweet or floral scent, baby skin cream, a beautiful comb or hairpin, glitter for the face or hair, light baby blush, baby shampoo, and more.

Do not be afraid to inadvertently accelerate her gender development with this gift, because the sooner a girl learns to take care of her appearance on her own, the more likely she is to learn to handle cosmetics competently by the time she comes of age, avoiding "excesses".

A very large number of girls at this age ask their parents to give them a pet, so if the goddaughter's mom and dad do not mind, then you can present her kitten, puppy, fish, parrot, decorative hamster or guinea pig.

Sports gifts at this age do not lose their relevance... If a girl attends any sports section, then you can give her some accessory or equipment that would be useful to her during class. For example, if the goddaughter goes to karate, you can present her with a new kimono, and if she attends the gymnastics section, she will be pleased to receive a high-quality sports leotard.The same applies to other hobbies: a girl goes to the ballet - buy her pointe shoes or other necessary accessory; climbing circle - equipment; figure skating - skates and so on.

The goddaughter at this age can be given beautiful jewelry made of precious metals, for example, a chain with a cross or a medallion with the image of her heavenly patron, a bracelet, earrings. This gift will not only be valuable, but also memorable.

Since the duty of the godfather or godmother consists not only in all kinds of custody of the child, but also in his religious upbringing, it is possible to give her illustrated children's bible, children's prayer book, an icon depicting a saint whose name the girl bears.

Adolescence is a very interesting and at the same time difficult time in life. If 10 years ago a child would have been delighted with any gift, and he would have been overwhelmed with a feeling of joy from the novelty, then at this age it can be difficult to please a girl. Therefore, in choosing a gift in this case, it is necessary to focus primarily on the interests of the girl.

A beautiful publication of a book in the birthday girl's favorite genre can be a good gift. She will also be delighted with a ticket to a concert of her favorite music artist or group.

An interestingly shaped LED lamp will be a rather original gift to the goddaughter.

Will delight a teenage girl and certificate for visiting the spa, photo session.

If your goddaughter has already decided on the choice of an educational institution where she plans to study after school, then you can pay for training or preparatory courses.
