Gifts For Kids With An Old Fashioned Twist
Kids are so hard to please these days when it comes to birthday and Christmas gifts.
They aren't happy with old fashioned board games and instead want all the electronic goods on the market like games consoles and games, mobile phones and computers.
What happened to kids being kids? They should be running around outdoors, working up an appetite and some colour in their cheeks instead of staring lethargically into a television screen filled with violence and drama controlled by the devices in their hands.
Even when it is raining outside children's brains need stimulating in an educational manner.
Luckily there are gifts out there to show kids that there are other fun activities other than computing.
One of the most important activities for children to engage in is reading.
Their little brains are like sponges which soak up and absorb information at a rapid rate and you will always find that a child who loves reading will always be top of the class at school for their sheer love of knowledge.
A fantastic way to get your child into reading is with a personalised book.
By choosing a classic tale such as Alice in Wonderland for example, you can have the heroines name replaced with the little girl's name that you are buying her, instantly making her the star of the story.
The cover title will be adjusted to display her name, for example "Amy in Wonderland.
" Any child will love this gorgeous gift and we can guarantee it will be kept for years to come and even passed on to their own children in time.
We mentioned old fashioned board games and their decline earlier and it is a real pity that kids aren't such great fans of the games as they used to be.
Peak their interest with a personalised board game! You can choose from old classics such as Cluedo and Monopoly and the board can be personalised to feature places and names relevant to your recipient as can the character pieces.
Kids will want to be more involved if they feel they are part of something and when the electricity goes you will find that the old reliable board games come out of hiding pretty fast! There is a massive focus now on being 'green' or eco-friendly and this is especially important for our kids as they are the generation who will grow up with this attitude being the norm.
Encourage their energy saving attitude with the gift of a sun jar.
This great gift comes in a range of colours to suit any bedroom decor and is placed on the windowsill during daylight hours so that it can absorb and store solar energy from the sun.
When darkness falls the energy stored within the jar emits a hazy glow to add ambience to any room without adding to the electricity bill.
It also serves as the perfect nightlight for a child's bedroom.
The above gifts are great for showing kids that there is in fact life beyond the television screen.
All of the gifts for him and her that we have mentioned are available online and you will find that all your online purchases are cheaper and more varied than anything you will find on the high street.
