What to give a child of 11 years old?

All people love to receive gifts for the holidays and just like that. When choosing a presentation, you need to take into account both personality traits and hobbies of a person, and his age. This article will discuss what to give a child 11 years old.

Eleven years can be called a kind of transition period from childhood to adolescence. The changes concern not only the physiology, but also the psychology of the child. During this period, children become more purposeful, learn to argue and defend their interests. Therefore, when choosing a gift, it is imperative to take into account the child's hobbies.

However, teenagers do not always share their desires with their parents. In addition to gifts that are directly related to a child's hobby, there are also universal things that are suitable for any gender.

Some things will be far from the most desirable gifts for eleven-year-old boys and girls. Consider what you shouldn't give your child 11 years old.

• Boys are unlikely to be pleased with soft toys, and girls - dolls and other items for young children. Collectibles can be an exception.
• It is not recommended to present clothes since there is a high risk of not pleasing a teenager, and there is also a high probability of making a mistake with the size.
• Flowers and sweets can be presented as an addition to the main gift. However, the bouquet can only please girls.
• Things for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases (for example, inhalers, thermometers), as well as vitamins and medicines.
• Socks and underwear.
• Present not for age - for example, it is too early for boys of this age to give shaving products and razors.
• Household and repair items. Even if the child loves to help his parents around the house, he is unlikely to be pleased with a gift in the form of a mop or hammer.
• Things that do not match the interests and hobbies of the teenager. For example, if the parents consider it necessary to teach the girl to knit, but she herself does not want this, she will not like the knitting kit.

Eleven-year-olds spend a lot of time with their friends. Children at this age are quite active and mobile.

Various gadgets have become an integral part of the life of people of almost all ages. When choosing such a gift, it is worth considering the child's need for a particular item. As for the options for various gadgets and technology, these can be:

• smartphone or tablet;
• MP3 player;
• gaming consoles;
• personal computer or laptop;
• digital camera or camcorder.

Most often, only adult relatives can afford to buy an expensive gift. From a peer to a good friend or girlfriend, you can present the following.

• Wrist watch. In this case, it is better for girls to give mechanical or quartz models. For boys, an electronic watch would be a preferable option.
• Cool souvenirs. Such gifts are especially good if the teenager collects certain items.
• A good and developing gift will be a set for creativity, which should also be selected taking into account the interests of the child. For girls, these can be kits for embroidery or sculpting. Boys may enjoy burning and assembling model airplanes, tanks or other equipment.
• Board or computer games.
• Smartphone case with drawings of your favorite characters or just in the original design.
• At 11 years old, teenagers are still children, so they can be happy certain toys... For example, boys can be gifted with a set of large water pistols or a mini-robot.
• Girls can give special children's cosmetics, perfume or jewelry.

The most reliable way to choose a gift for an eleven-year-old teenager is to ask him what he wants to receive as a present. However, this is not always possible. When choosing a surprise, you can rely on the child's hobbies. Consider some examples of gifts that are directly related to the interests of a teenager.

• The book is provided that the teenager likes to read. Such a present can be given if the child's preferences in literature are well known.
• If the child is actively interested in sports, then a good gift for him will be sport equipment, for example: balls, tennis rackets, hockey sticks and so on.
• Children who are interested in music can present musical instruments and tutorials for playing them. It can also be a good microphone, speakers, or headphones.
• Young researchers may be interested in gifts such as microscopes and telescopes.

In addition to standard gifts, there are a large number of original things that will not only delight, but also surprise a teenager. Nowadays you can find many interesting gadgets in stores, for example, a flying alarm clock. Such a present will not only be original, but also useful.

A T-shirt with cool inscriptions or a pattern, as well as slippers in the form of a favorite animal or a cartoon character, are also quite interesting solutions. When choosing such a gift, you need to be extremely careful not to be mistaken with the size. You can design a T-shirt yourself and then use a photo printing service.

Currently, services that provide services for the selection of gifts are gaining popularity. Such surprise boxes include several items that are selected by the company's employees in accordance with certain criteria: the amount of the gift, the age and gender of the person, his addictions, hobbies and lifestyle. It is not known in advance what items will be in the box.

It can be a ticket or a joint trip to an event. Boys will enjoy going to the go-kart club or flying in the wind tunnel. For girls, you can organize a professional photo session or a trip to a cooking master class.

Delicious gifts are best given to an eleven year old in addition to the main gift. All children love sweets, regardless of gender, so this present can be considered universal. The following can be used as an edible gift.

• Delicious and beautiful cake. Many pastry chefs make custom-made baked goods in accordance with the wishes of their design.
• Various chocolate shapes.
• A set of the child's favorite sweets. If the teenager's taste preferences are known, then it is better to make such a set yourself. To make the gift more unusual, you can arrange sweets in the form of a bouquet or some kind of figure.
• You can bake a delicious cake, cookie, or gingerbread yourself. It is best to decorate sweets with colorful glaze. You can also write congratulations and wishes on them.
