How to choose a gift for your son for the New Year?

It is customary to present everyone on New Year's Day. But the gifts for family and friends are chosen most reverently. Every year parents face this rather troublesome task. And the more pleasant it is to see the joy of the gift if the son liked it.

Many parents make the mistake of neglecting gifts for very young children and giving formal gifts as adults. This approach is fundamentally wrong:

• family traditions like these teach you to take care of other people;
• care is always pleasant - along with the gift, an awareness of need and importance is handed over, and this is one of the foundations of psychological comfort.

All New Year's attributes must be present in a child's life from the first months of his life. It takes a firm place in his subconscious. Even if the son is too young to formulate his desires, there must be a small present. As he grows, his parents will have to take on the function of Santa Claus.... Moreover, in addition to all other gifts, mom and dad should also give their son. For a kid, simple games with rattles, balls, cubes are suitable. A little later, he will need educational toys with many buttons and switches. At an early age, objects with light effects and musical accompaniment are most attractive.

Consider what can be suitable for a preschooler from three years old as a gift.

• A set of toy characters from your favorite cartoon. So the child will master the role-playing games. With their help, parents can simulate various situations, teach the rules of behavior.
• Various types of equipment. All boys pay attention to transportation.Depending on your interests, you can choose an ambulance car, plane, tank, train, truck crane as a gift. To diversify the games, transport will need various accessories - roads, gas stations, parking lots, bus stations.
• Constructor... It is with its help that you can effectively develop not only fine motor skills, but also your imagination. For a start, a simple version with great detail will do. As they get older, designers get more complex. The assortment of such products is quite wide - you can find constructors made of blocks, velcro, suction cups and others.
• Sets for outdoor games. This can be a bowling alley, hoops, or a basketball hoop. At the same age, you can think about purchasing a sports corner, especially if there are several children, or friends come to visit your son.
• Educational games. There are many flashcard games for preschoolers. Then you can try bingo, adventure games, mazes and the like.
• Books. For starters, you can purchase editions for the little ones - with music buttons or panoramas. Of particular interest are books with stickers (it is better if they are reusable).

Since the hobbies of a boy over seven years old are already fully formed, gifts in can be more focused on them.

• Toys... At school age, children continue to play actively. Boys still prefer technology - for example, remote control transport. In addition to the game, collectibles may be added. Another win-win option is age-specific constructors. For active games, you can purchase blasters, pistols or a bow with arrows - subject to safety precautions.

• Board games. They can be targeted at a different number of players. Table sports games - hockey, football, basketball - deserve special attention. They can be played at any age.

• Sports equipment. If the child is already involved in sports, he will need new equipment. Plus it's never too late to master skating, skiing or snowboarding.

• Materials for creativity and other hobbies. During the period of elementary school, the child should try himself in different areas. And if at first he needs a lot of plasticine or paints, then at an older age you can purchase a kit for modeling or robotics. Young researchers will be interested in sets for scientific experiments. Better to start simple. If this hobby finds a response, you can think about additional classes with a teacher.

• Books... To develop your vocabulary, you need to read a lot of fiction. If a child's interests are focused in a specific area, specialized publications and encyclopedias will always be appropriate.

• Technical devices. Already from the first grade, it is necessary to keep in touch with the child through a phone or smart watch. In adolescence, there are more and more of them - players, game consoles, tablets, smartphones and accessories for them are added.

At a conscious age, it is quite possible to fulfill the son's dream of a pet. And the New Year is a good reason for this.

In order to please a grown-up student son for the New Year, there are a lot of ideas. For a start, you can give something that he really will use. Moreover, in the first years of study, almost all students are financially dependent on their parents. For a freshman son, the equipment necessary for study or life will be useful... And also interesting components for them - a convenient keyboard or mouse for a computer, a case and a stand for a tablet.

In addition to studying, other interests can be noted. For example, a music lover will like comfortable headphones and speakers with good sound.For an athlete, a home horizontal bar-bars, dumbbells, a pedometer are suitable. For a tourist, the choice of accessories is also quite large. If it is really difficult to choose something you need, it is better to give preference in favor of a gift certificate to a particular store.

There are times when a student needs to look solid. For this, gifts such as shirts, ties, wallets are always relevant. The design and quality of the classics is timeless, so it is quite easy to choose them.... But with items of clothing, especially youth, it is quite easy to make a mistake. Better to give preference to household items - a dressing gown, pajamas or a T-shirt with a funny inscription.

An adult son also needs care and attention. Even if he and his parents are at a great distance, and cannot meet, you can send a parcel, as well as order goods on the Internet with delivery.

• A good watch, jewelry, cufflinks, or a tie clip can be gifted to a grown man.
• If he has a car, covers, a car vacuum cleaner and tools, care products will do.
• For a person keen on fishing, a new spinning rod is suitable. And in general, if the son spends a lot of time in nature, he will need a good folding knife, a set of camping utensils or a sleeping bag.
• Don't forget about New Year's souvenirs. You can give a regular or thermo mug with the symbols of the coming year.
• The most valuable are handmade gifts - knitted scarves, socks and sweaters. They are especially true in cold weather.
• In addition to things, you can make New Year's cake, cakes or gingerbread.

To remember the New Year for a long time, you can choose a non-standard present.

• It is better for the boy to organize a fun home party with contests and treats. To do this, you can call Santa Claus at home and be sure to invite friends. In addition to celebrating at home, you can arrange a trip to the entertainment center with a special program in the form of a New Year's adventure.
• For a teenager and even an adult man, an unexpected but pleasant gift will be a ticket to a concert of your favorite artist or group. The same rule applies to football fans - a ticket to the long-awaited match will be what you need.
• New Year's holidays bring all family members closer together. To emphasize family unity and have fun, you can organize a trip to the cinema or to the ice rink. Family photos in a beautifully designed studio will help keep happy emotions as a keepsake. It is better to make such a pastime an annual tradition.
• Unforgettable New Year's holidays will be if you spend them in a warm area. For an adult son, such a vacation will be especially useful. An additional gift will be the traveler's personal card.
• To prevent the New Year holidays from being boring, it is better to stock up on gift certificates for outdoor activities. It will be interesting for a man of any age to be at the helm of an airplane or to master the management of three horses.

Choosing gifts for your son should be pretty simple. After all, any parents know their child well - what he prefers, what he does, what his interests are. But in reality, this is far from the case. Few people really know the dreams of their child, and with age, this problem is even more aggravated. Without this knowledge, the process of choosing a gift becomes difficult. In addition to interests, there are other nuances to consider.

• The present may be directly related to the activities of the son. At the same time, age is not important. Accessories for study and work are always pleasant.In addition to official employment, any person has hobbies and hobbies - you should also pay attention to them.
• You should not rely only on your own taste, because first of all the thing should please your son.
• It is better if the New Year's gift is just a surprise. To heighten the effect, it is necessary to think over an original way of delivering it.

• If the celebration of the New Year will not be joint, delivery a little earlier or later is allowed. But even these terms should not be extended. As a last resort, there is mail or delivery.
• Often the New Year holidays turn into an exchange of gifts. You should not refuse this, even if there is no reciprocal congratulations. And even more so, there is no need to pick up an equivalent to last year's presentations or hand over the same in response. In general, the items you choose don't have to be expensive.

After the gift has been chosen, the question of its packaging arises. You should also think about it in advance and purchase the necessary materials. Of course, you can resort to the services of packaging specialists, but it is better to take the time for this and enjoy the decoration. First, you should think about how the gift will be presented. It can be placed under the tree or placed in a conspicuous place in the room, as well as given in person.

There are actually many packaging options. The easiest way is to find a bag that is suitable for the size. Traditional designs include boxes wrapped in wrapping paper with New Year's motives. There can be several layers of paper and boxes - to extend the moment of anticipation of a surprise. Layering will delight both a little boy and an adult man.
