Selecting a Memorable Gift for Children’s Birthday Parties - Tips for Fantastic Kids’ Presents
Colleyville, TX, June 08, 2007 --(PR.com)-- It seems like moms of school-aged children are always shopping for presents for birthday parties. Gift-giving experts Susan Baum and Alicia Segal, of Simply Done Gifts, offer tips for selecting the perfect gift for a child’s birthday.
“Like most events in our lives, planning ahead is the key,” says Susan. "Here are some additional pointers:
1. When you receive the party invitation, check your calendar and decide if your child will attend. This will give you plenty of time to select a gift, rather than waiting until the last minute.
2. Decide on a budget for the gift. Is this a casual school friend, a special friend or a member of your family? This may help you in deciding how much to spend.
3. Let your child help in selecting the gift. Pick out 2-3 items in your price range, then ask your child what gift they think their friend would like the best.
4. Choose items that can be personalized – kids of all ages are thrilled to receive gifts that have their name or initials on them. They will know it was chosen especially for them. Toys are great, but often have a short shelf life. We recommend personalized beach towels, lap desks or even a tote with the child’s name.
5. It can be fun to choose a theme for the gift. For instance, choose an art theme. Give a child’s apron with his/her name and an art set with paints, brushes and paper. For a chef’s theme, again choose a personalized apron, add measuring spoons and cups and a child’s cookbook.
6. Let your child make a card for the present. Have him or her draw a picture and sign his or her name on a plain white note card or even construction paper cut to size. Scribbles of different colors can decorate the front of the gift card if your little artist is still perfecting her skills; mom can add her name and birthday wishes to the inside of her masterpiece.”
Alicia reminds readers, “Don’t forget the package presentation. Gift-wrap or creative packaging can be part of the fun of choosing just the right gift. For our chef’s theme, choose a large plastic mixing bowl rather than a gift bag. Add the apron, cooking utensils and tissue paper stuffed in between the items. The card could read ‘Cook Up Some Fun for Your Birthday.’”
