One way or another, but sometimes it is impossible to foresee all the subtleties and nuances. That is why we bring to your attention an overview of the best universal baby gifts (here you will find items that are suitable for both girls and boys).

The first point is pretty obvious because all kids love to play. Toys - it's a pretty versatile category, so you can choose one or another item not only depending on gender or age, but also depending on the individual preferences of the baby.

So, a doll will be an excellent gift for a little girl, and a car for a boy. But also today on the market you can buy various toys made in the form of famous cartoon or fairy tale characters. You just have to find out which of the many existing heroes is the favorite of this child - and give such a toy for the New Year.

Another win-win option. However, in this case, for safety reasons, do not forget to consult with the parents or relatives of the baby - there is a possibility that it is contraindicated for him to eat certain foods for any medical reason (for example, there is an allergy or the child suffers from individual intolerance).

Teaching, as they say, is light. And this expression is especially true for children. Indeed, it is at a young age that all processes in the brain, which are responsible for the perception and assimilation of the surrounding reality, as well as new knowledge, pass with greater ease.

In connection with the above, colorful and bright book of fairy tales will be a great gift for any child.

This category is also a very popular gift option for toddlers. On the eve of the New Year, it will be especially important to give your child pajamas, slippers or socks.

But a cute hat, mittens or warm scarf will also work. In addition, sweaters and outerwear will be useful.

Children grow up quite quickly, and therefore constantly need to update their wardrobe. Due to this a new thing will never be superfluous (This is especially true for large families, in which clothes are passed almost "by inheritance"). However, before purchasing a wardrobe item, check the size of the child - if you buy a thing one size larger, then it can be worn next season, but too small a thing will be useless.

Any options for decorating the bed will be especially relevant during the New Year's celebration, when cold and frost rages on the street. Make sure the blankets and throws are painted with fun and colorful designs, and the pillow can be shaped like your baby's favorite animal. In this case, he will use such presents with great pleasure and remember you for a long time with a warm smile.

If the baby shows love and inclination to go in for sports or is already attending a sports club, sports equipment or an accessory will become not only a pleasant, but also a useful gift. These include soccer balls, basketballs, boxing gloves, or a hockey stick. And also a new set of sportswear will do.

If you have the opportunity to spend a fairly large amount on a gift, then you can purchase a Swedish staircase or a complete sports corner for the baby's room.

Presenting such accessories as a gift will especially true for children who are already attending school. Every little girl will be delighted with a purse with a princess, and a boy - with a backpack with a superhero.

So, do not buy standard pencils and pens, as well as notebooks with plain covers. Try to choose something original and fun: fondant or gun-shaped pens, notebooks depicting fairy-tale characters, and so on.

Despite the fact that children love everything bright and colorful, they also need standard, so-called adult gifts. These things include, for example, various hygiene kits (shampoo, soap, shower gel, and so on). In this regard, manufacturers of such products offer to combine business with pleasure.

Already today, on the shelves of cosmetic stores, you can see all the necessary hygiene products in an unusual form: shampoos, which are poured into bubbles made in the shape of machines, toothbrushes in the shape of animals, and so on.

Each child's artistic ability and aspirations must be expressed. The easiest way is to paint. If your kid is just starting to get acquainted with this kind of art, then you can purchase an ordinary sketchbook and a standard set of watercolors.

Needlework is a fairly popular hobby among the younger generation. Modeling, embroidery, beading or sewing can be a similar creative activity. For boys, wood burning is relevant.

If a child is fond of this kind of art, then he will definitely like kits for needlework (for example, a set of new threads or plasticine in bright colors). However, even if the child is not engaged in needlework, such sets can not only be given as a gift, but also necessary.

Pupils of music schools will appreciate a new musical instrument or a stylish accessory to it.Perhaps there is a piano in your apartment that no one uses, and your niece dreams of becoming the second Mozart.

New Year is a magical time for miracles and the fulfillment of desires. Therefore, it is on this holiday, like no other, that it will be especially important to fulfill the child's old dream. When creating a dream, focus not on the material side of the issue, but on creating a special fabulous atmosphere.

So, if your daughter dreams of becoming a princess, then sew (or buy) a dress for her, buy a fabulous crown, invite animators, and create a whole performance in which your young child will play the main role.

An excellent option for such an atmospheric and non-standard gift would be a trip to the mountains to go skiing, play snowballs and make a snowman. And in the evening you can turn on your child's favorite fairy tale and make him hot chocolate - a real winter fairy tale.

To give your baby an unforgettable experience, talk to him more, find out what he is interested in and what he dreams of. You just have to make his most incredible desires come true.

A pet is the dream of many kids. Many of them dream of a small dog or a fluffy kitten. If your child has reached school age, then you can purchase such a pet for him. However, stipulate in advance that he will have to take care of him on his own, and that the acquisition of an animal is a great responsibility, because a puppy or kitten is not a toy that can be put aside or completely thrown away. Be sure to teach the kid the principle that we are responsible for those we have tamed.

If your child is younger, but still dreams of a pet, then give him an animal that will be more unpretentious in care, for example, a fish, a turtle or a parrot. In the latter case, you can teach the bird different words together with the baby.

One way or another, if you decide to give your child an animal, then make sure that it is completely healthy, ask the seller to provide all the necessary information.

In addition, if you are not a direct relative who lives with the baby, then be sure to check the permission of his parents to establish a pet, because in most cases it is they who will help the child to maintain and care for the animal.

Interactive toys are an interesting and educational gift for modern children. Today, manufacturers have created a huge variety of these types of toys. Among them you can find both dolls for girls and animals for boys.

As for dolls, such toys can cry or laugh, talk and ask for pens. They also need to be fed and require a diaper change.Everyone knows that little girls are madly in love with playing "Mothers and Daughters". Therefore, if you buy a similar doll, clothes, stroller and other accessories for it, then your daughter will be delighted.

An interesting version of an interactive toy for a boy can be a puppy. It can bark, stand on its hind legs and beg for food. You can also give a boy a car or a radio-controlled airplane.

Such toys will interest not only kids, but even their parents.

A small child can be given not only entertainment items, but also useful and necessary things, which will help you acquire the necessary skills and familiarize yourself with the environment.

For example, if you notice that your son is constantly trying to help his dad during the renovation, examines the tools and is constantly trying to hammer something, then buy him a children's set of tools. Explain what each item is for and how it works. Create an impromptu renovation, and help your child apply the knowledge gained in practice.

For girls, a great alternative to the toolbox is set of kitchen utensils. Today there is a huge variety of such toys for every taste and budget. So, you can find miniature ovens or washing machines. Thus, from the very childhood you will teach your child the skills and abilities that are useful and necessary in adult life.

Each of us knows that when it comes to a child, not only the material gift itself is important (it can be both beautiful, creative gifts, and modest souvenirs), but also how you give it. There are several options.

• You can put a gift under the tree and unpack it with your baby on New Year's Eve. Thus, you will create a fairy tale - the child will think that he received a gift from Santa Claus.
• Another way is to place the gift in an unexpected place (for example, in a backpack or under a pillow). The child will be surprised by an unexpected find and will attribute a fabulous origin to it.
• One of the most classic ways is hand-to-hand presentation of a gift. Thus, the baby will know who presented him this or that toy, and will be grateful for this to a particular person.
• If you invite an animator to play the role of Santa Claus, then you can ask him to present a gift to your baby. In this case, he will be sure that the fairy tale exists. Just do not forget to first write a letter to Santa Claus with wishes, as well as learn a rhyme.

In addition, packaging is important - you need to pay special attention to it. Place your gift in a brightly colored holiday box and decorate with a bow. In addition to a gift, you can put New Year's tinsel and sweets in the box itself.

At first glance, choosing a gift for a child is a rather difficult task, but it can turn out to be a very interesting and entertaining process. When choosing a presentation, try first of all to build on the wishes of the baby, because it is for him that you create a New Year's fairy tale.
