It’s safe to say that the little one's favourite part of their Birthday is opening their presents! Purchasing a gift for the little ones can often be difficult as they have high expectations and hopes. To choose the perfect gift you will need to consider the following.

1. Safety

First and foremost keep them safe and remember to check the age recommendation of the products and check out our age categorisations.

2. Likes and Interests

To excite and spread the birthday joy, purchase a gift that is appropriate for their age in terms of what is popular and what's on trend in their age bracket. Don’t forget to think about the child! What do they love to do?

Do They Love Being Outdoors?
Do They Love Being Creativity?
Do They Love Trains?
Do They Love LEGO?

3. Personality

Think about a gift that could feed their interest but at the same time think about their personality. For example, a game of Charades would not suit a more introverted child or family.

4. Skill Level

Ensure the gift is suitable for the child’s skill level. Just because the toy or hobby states a certain age bracket does not necessarily mean this product will be suitable for every child. Purchasing a gift that is too difficult for a child's age and skill level can make them frustrated, hamper confidence and affect the learning development of a little one. You will want to purchase a gift that is challenging so they won’t get bored but at the same time ensure the child is not overwhelmed.

5. Check with their Parents

If the gift is for a child that is not your own, sometimes it is best to check with their parents as the child might already have this gift or may have an objection. Simply sending a photo to a parent or grandparent or leaving the decision up to them by purchasing a Hobbyco gift card gives them the ability to choose their little one's hobby or play experience based on their personal and family circumstances.

A Gift to Share

Consider gifts that can be shared with the child's friends, siblings and or family members. This can include board games, puzzles, card games, slot car sets and model kits which can be put together by the whole family! Games and puzzles for younger children can help them learn and assist in building a healthy sense of competition as they grow up.

6. Quality is Key

Purchase a high-quality gift that will last and won’t break down. The last thing you want is to buy a dud gift that lets the child down. This is why you should consider quality brands such as LEGO, Eitech, Carerrea and much more at Hobbyco. We have a range of quality brands to ensure the little ones aren’t let down on their Birthday.
