Gift ideas for a 9 year old boy for the New Year
Every child, regardless of age, looks forward to the New Year with a special feeling, because on holiday he will receive a gift from Santa Claus. In this article, we will look at New Year's gift ideas for nine-year-old boys, tell you what to look for when choosing, and what gifts should not be given.
Age features
At nine years old, the boys are still children. They are active, inquisitive, often spend time with friends and love to misbehave. At this age, it is especially pleasant to receive something boyish as a present, which you can boast of in front of your peers, and also give you the opportunity to have fun. Unfortunately, it is not easy to surprise nine-year-old boys.
At this age, they are no longer interested in soft toys and other typically children's gifts, they need something more serious. It should be borne in mind that at this age, children begin to guess about the real sources of their gifts and the absence of the magic Santa Clauswho brings gifts to good children. The boy will be very grateful to his parents for a good gift, which he has long dreamed of.
By the way, at this age it already becomes a little boring to find a gift under the tree every time. To slightly diversify the process of receiving a gift, come up with a small quest. Let the boy find a small box in brown paper under the tree, and inside a note with holiday greetings and a couple of chocolates. The note should contain a clue to the next location.
Try to organize the quest so so that the child has to go around about five places and at the very end find his long-awaited gift. Each note should contain puzzles, riddles and other tasks, the answers to which will indicate the place of the next clue.
The boy will pass all the tests with enthusiasm and will be doubly happy to receive his New Year's present.
What should not be gifted?
There is a certain category of things that are not worth giving.
- Shooting computer game. Psychologists have long been talking about the harmful influence of such games on children, they cause aggression, and even a kind boy can turn into a real monster. It is better to buy something calmer, but no less interesting.
- Another dangerous gift is fireworks. Such a thing should not be given even to adults, let alone children, it will not bring them any benefit.
- Never give a penknife or a gun with bullets as a gift, the boy can cause physical harm not only to himself, but also to his friends, and this can happen completely by accident, and the donor, that is, you, will be to blame.
- Of the taboo gifts, it is also worth highlighting clothing and school supplies. Boys do not like to be fashionable, preferring jeans and a T-shirt to any smart outfit. Of course, clothes are considered one of the most practical gifts, but not the most joyful for a nine-year-old boy. The same applies to school subjects. Stationery, notebooks, books, pencil cases - all of this is given on September 1, but not on New Year's.
- It is not recommended to give such a fashionable unit as a gyro scooter as a gift. Whatever joy it brings to the child, it is dangerous to use it. Nine-year-old boys are not yet so good at their coordination, so the purchase will have to be postponed until a later age.
Gift selection rules
When choosing a New Year's gift for a 9-year-old boy, try to focus on his taste preferences and hobbies. At this age, guys, as a rule, have already decided on a hobby and activities of interest, so it will not be difficult to pick up a present.
- If a boy is fond of boxing and wants to learn how to fight, the best choice would be punching bag with gloves included. He will be able to train on his own at home, and the rack itself will not take up much space in the room.
- If the child loves to surprise others and observe their reaction, it will be an excellent present for him magician's set with hat, magic wand and other accessories. A nine-year-old will happily sit for instructions, learn a new trick, and then run and show everything to friends.
- A rare boy is not fond of football. Pay attention to things with football symbols; the sports uniform of your favorite football player, a scarf, a hat, a wallet and other accessories of your favorite team are suitable as a gift. In addition, you can donate a branded ball.
Before buying the above products, be sure to ask about the team that your son is rooting for, and also find out your favorite player. It will be very disappointing to receive the Messi uniform as a gift when you support Neymar. Check the size of the clothes so that the uniform or sneakers fit, not overgrowth, or even small.
Whatever gift you choose for the New Year, remember that you are purchasing it for the child, not for yourself, so focus on his desires, and not on your opinion.
