Good afternoon, dear friends, today we’ll talk about what you can give for a child’s birthday at school?
I'm a little lost, have you lost me? There is a lot to do, I can’t write more often yet. Recently I was asked to write a separate article on this topic, which I decided to do. If any of you, mothers and fathers of schoolchildren, participate in parent association events, the question of what to give your children for their school birthday is probably relevant to you.
And the task is not as simple as it seems at first glance, because you need to choose gifts that meet the following conditions:
- They should be of the same type, but with a different assortment (so that children do not receive completely different or identical gifts for their birthday);
- It is better to choose gifts that are interesting to children of a certain age;
- As for the price of gifts, it is better to focus on a price of up to 300 rubles, since many parents do not agree to gifts exceeding this amount.
And so, based on this, I have prepared a small list of gift ideas for children for OTA. I can’t say that they are too original, because the conditions here are quite harsh. And, as I said, my opinion is that when it comes to children, it is better not to be too original, but to choose what they are really interested in.

What to give high school kids for their birthdays?
Photo frames
The variety is great, you can choose different and interesting ones. But this gift, in my opinion, is more for girls.
Photo albums
There aren’t that many inexpensive albums, but I think you can find them if you want. Let's face it, we don't print a lot of photos these days, so even a small album given to school for his birthday will probably prompt the idea of printing a small number of photos as a keepsake.
Flesh-USB (flash drives)
Really useful things; high school students actively use flash drives even for educational purposes. And if you chose an interesting form of copying, that would be absolutely cool. Therefore, I consider the gift option in this group to be one of the best.
These are all the options for today. In one article I collected everything that, in my opinion, should be considered school gifts. I hope you will now find a quicker solution to the question of what to give schoolchildren for their birthday. All you need to do is discuss your ideas with the PTA members and choose the appropriate options.
How to choose the perfect gift for a child: 5 working rules
Perhaps the main advice is to give your child a New Year's gift, regardless of grades at school, behavior and misunderstandings with parents. Child psychologists say that for most children, the New Year is comparable in importance to a birthday, and remaining on such a day without congratulations will be sad for both a toddler and a teenager.
What else is worth considering when choosing a good gift:
- Find out the wishes of the child himself or his parents if the baby is still very small. Finding out children's dreams is simple: ask a boy or girl to send a letter to Santa Claus indicating the desired gifts. If the child does not know how to write yet or, on the contrary, is already too old to believe in Santa Claus, go to the store together, let the child tell or show you what he wants.
- Consider the gender and age of the child. Boys and girls prefer different things, and what is suitable for a three-year-old child will be inappropriate for a younger schoolchild.
- Focus on the interests of the child. Perhaps he collects collections or is interested in creativity - everyone loves gifts related to his hobby.
- If your child doesn’t have any special hobbies, remember what kind of character he is. A calm child can be captivated by construction toys or puzzles; a restless child will be delighted by skates or roller skates.
- Pay attention to the quality of the product intended as a gift. A suspiciously cheap item without identification marks on the packaging may be unsafe.
Helpful advice: an easy way to find out a teenager’s interests is to study a page on social networks.
How to choose a gift for a child on September 1
Many parents introduce a tradition of delighting their schoolchildren with pleasant gifts at the beginning of the school year, but each time it becomes more and more difficult to look for something interesting. We suggest you familiarize yourself with tips on how to choose a gift for a child on September 1, and what points you need to pay attention to.
- Try to purchase a surprise in advance so that you don’t have to go shopping on the last day looking for the perfect gift for your child on September 1st.
- Try to take his interests into account; of course, every parent wants to give a useful gift, but as a result, you may not receive sincere joy in return. It’s better to buy exactly what you want, then you’ll definitely be able to see the sparkle in the student’s eyes.
- Everyone chooses their own budget, because some people can afford to buy an expensive gadget, while other parents, on the contrary, are used to buying purely symbolic gifts.
- It is worth deciding whether the gift will be shared or whether you will present a prepared surprise at home. After all, many parents decide to present it after the ceremony.
- You can always not just give a present, but arrange a real holiday. Go for a walk in the city, go to a cafe or come up with other entertainment.
- Don’t forget that children also have their own preferences, and they, just like adults, enjoy useful surprises. Just try to choose exactly what the child was missing or what he had been dreaming about for a long time.
- Be sure to buy gift wrapping, because this is an important event for the student, and it is better if he is surrounded by a festive atmosphere all day, and after that he can immerse himself completely in the educational process.
What to give a child for New Year 2021: ideas for different ages
As children grow, so do their needs. The easiest way to make a preschooler happy with a toy is to please teenagers. Below, for your convenience, is a table showing the most popular and inexpensive gifts for different ages.
Gifts for a child under one year old
A very young child does not yet understand the essence of the winter holiday. It would be wise to ask the baby's parents what he needs: a large package of diapers or baby food may be a suitable gift. If your parents have no special wishes, or you are choosing a gift for your own child, pay attention to the following options:
- an electronic swing is a good gift for a baby up to six months old: it entertains the baby and frees up the mother’s hands;
- An educational mat for a child under 1 year old develops fine motor skills. Another plus is that calm children are able to get carried away by the rug for a long time, giving their parents a rest;
- Busy board is an exciting educational board with useful entertainment: with the help of the board, a baby over 6 months can learn how to handle laces, master counting, and get acquainted with colors;
- any musical toys are suitable for children 6-12 months old - at this age babies really like objects that make sounds;
- various educational toys: cubes, pyramids, sorters.
If you really want to give a toy to a newborn, choose a rattle: a regular one or one that can be attached to a crib or stroller.
What to give a child 1-3 years old for New Year
At this age, the researcher awakens in the baby. He becomes interested in exploring the world around him by touch, color and taste. Play turns into a leading activity, but for now the child prefers to play alone.
New Year gifts for children 1-3 years old:
- educational toys are more complex than for babies under one year old: construction sets, mosaics, puzzles - the younger the child, the larger the parts of the toy should be;
- play tents: you can buy them in stores at different prices, in different sizes and designs - in the form of a yurt, a fairy-tale castle or a real tourist tent;
- children who are passionate about drawing will love gifts related to their favorite hobby: crayons, paints, boards, easels for drawing, art kits;
- soft toys - the child begins to be interested in them only at this age. You can choose an interactive pet that needs to be fed and taken for a walk;
- Bathroom toys are always an appropriate gift; they are usually sold in ready-made sets.
If you are ready to spend a considerable amount on a gift, take a closer look at the wheelchair sleds.
New Year's gifts for children 3-6 years old
Choosing a gift for older children becomes easier - children 3-6 years old are able to formulate their own desires. But sometimes a child asks for the impossible or simply cannot decide on the desired gift. Then ideas for universal gifts for children 3-6 years old will come in handy:
- creative sets or sets based on interests: for a young artist, for a future doctor or inventor;
- a magnetic easel that will entertain your child and unobtrusively prepare you for school;
- designer with a fairly large number of parts. For older children, you can choose a construction set with small parts;
- radio-controlled toys - there are interesting options for boys and girls: transport, robots, cartoon characters;
- board games - at the age of 3-6 years, the competitive spirit already awakens in children.
A child aged 3-6 years, in agreement with the parents, can be given a sweet gift set - as a separate gift or as an addition to the main gift.
What to choose as a gift for a junior schoolchild aged 7-10 years
Grown-up children doubt the existence of Santa Claus, while the needs of a growing child grow. Choose one of the popular gifts among younger schoolchildren if you don’t know your preference for sure:
- skates or roller skates;
- wireless headphones or a portable music speaker - devices are especially popular among primary schoolchildren;
- complex radio-controlled vehicles: quadcopters, boats;
- fashionable gadget: smartphone or tablet;
- smart watches are equally useful for children and parents: a child will be interested in wearing a communication device on his or her hand, and mom and dad will always know where their son or daughter is.
If you are planning to give a gift to a friend’s child or a distant relative, you can choose a simpler gift: originally designed sweets, a set of children’s cosmetics, a piggy bank.
New Year gift ideas for teenagers 11-13 years old
The desires of children in adolescence change almost daily. If a child finds it difficult to choose a gift, choose what is fashionable among teenagers aged 11-13:
- new gadget: smartphone, tablet, smart watch;
- game console;
- a gift that matches the teenager’s hobbies: sports equipment (ball, fitness bracelet, skates), kits for future scientists (kits for physical or chemical experiments, microscopes, telescopes), board games (“Monopoly”, “Twister”);
- fashionable clothes and accessories: bag, backpack, snood, sneakers with luminous soles, illuminated laces;
- cosmetics from the teenage series: for example, perfume for a boy, the first decorative cosmetics for a girl.
At the age of 11-13 years, children still love candy and other sweets - a sweet gift set will complement the main gift well.
What to give to an adult child, 14-17 years old
For children who no longer consider themselves children, “adult” signs of attention are suitable. For example, these:
- a new smartphone or tablet continues to hold the lead among desired New Year’s gifts at this age;
- certificate for purchases - do not forget to coordinate the choice of store with the child or his parents;
- tickets to the concert of your favorite artist;
- a subscription taking into account the teenager’s hobbies: to the gym, to the dance hall, to the swimming pool;
- money - if you are sure that an almost adult child will spend his finances wisely.
You can give your child a pet if your son or daughter has long dreamed of having an animal. 14-17 years is the age when a person is able to take full responsibility for a pet.
What to give to 3rd and 4th graders at school
Students in grades 3 and 4 have more developed cognitive abilities; they know and can do a lot. Therefore, it is important to choose gifts that stimulate their curiosity and give them the opportunity to use their skills. At the same time, we should not forget about traditional New Year’s things that lift your spirits and create a feeling of celebration.
Creative sets
Particular attention should be paid to the following options:
- Anti-stress drawings. Contains many small details that can be colored as you wish.
- Mystery compositions. Their highlight lies in the need to supplement and finalize the presented sketches.
- Paintings by numbers. This type of creativity has been especially popular in the last few years. The canvas shows the outline of the future painting, which is divided into small sections. Each of them is numbered and has a specific color. If all requirements are strictly followed, the child will create a real work of art.
Kits for research and experiments
Real laboratory experiments will arouse genuine interest among inquisitive children. There is no need to worry about safety, as the manufacturer made sure that the experiments do not harm children. In addition, the age category for which a particular experience is intended must be indicated on the packaging.
Advice! When choosing a gift for a fourth grader, your choice should be a volcanic eruption (chemistry), growing crystals (chemistry), growing a plant (biology) and experiments with solar energy (physics). They will provide basic knowledge that will be useful in future classes in relevant subjects.
Books
Every child is inquisitive, so parents and teachers just have to direct his interest in the right direction. The book has always been considered a wonderful gift that is equally suitable for boys and girls.
In educational and developmental literature, gender differences have been erased. However, the inexperienced mind of a child in grades 3-4 is not yet ready for serious works of art. But encyclopedias with bright illustrations will be an excellent New Year's gift. Although you will have to spend a little money on such pleasure, since a book with high-quality paper, printing, pictures and binding will be expensive.
Edible gifts
Sweets, like tangerines, are an indispensable attribute that accompanies every New Year. I am glad that nowadays the variety of confectionery products is amazing. On the eve of the holidays, you can’t do without gingerbread or honey gingerbread, decorated with interesting icing patterns.
You can often find chocolate figurines made in the shape of fairy-tale characters or a symbol of the coming year. Children will respond positively to colorfully packaged candy sets, which are filled with the most delicious and beloved delicacies.
Construction sets for young technicians
A universal gift that will fully satisfy the needs of boys and girls is a construction set. There are dozens of different educational games on the shelves of specialized stores. Depending on the amount that parents are willing to spend, you can purchase kits for building small buildings or entire residential complexes.
On a note!
An excellent option would be to purchase separate models for boys (for example, gas stations with separate entrances) and girls (princess castle).
Funny and unusual gifts
An unusual and funny gift would be:
- USB drive in the form of animal figures or cartoon characters.
- Board games that will be useful for children when spending leisure time with friends. They will open up a new exciting world, teach children various strategies for achieving goals and how to control emotions when losing.
Child psychologists recommend games for several people, as they teach them to concentrate on a specific process, develop communication skills, stimulate creativity and awaken self-confidence.
Equipment for winter fun and sports
New Year's holidays are directly associated with snow and fun activities with friends. Therefore, the parent committee should consider a group trip to the skating rink or a trial lesson at the ski lodge as a gift. Alpine skiing is not suitable for children in grades 3-4 due to the increased risk of injury, but cross-country skiing will be just right. If it is impossible to organize a trip, then snowflakes or ice cubes are suitable as a New Year's gift. Schoolchildren will be able to spend their holidays actively, rather than sitting in front of televisions or computer monitors.
On the eve of the New Year, the real pursuit of interesting and high-quality gifts for children and adults begins.
Parents of primary school students will have to worry not only about home congratulations, but also develop a plan for school holiday events, as well as give the children unforgettable gifts. And of course, don’t forget about further congratulations to the boys’ class on February 23 and girls from March 8.

From aerial to aqua mosaic: 25 gift ideas that children will be delighted with
At the end of the year, all parents need to prepare gifts for their children (and often not only for their own!), and, of course, they want to find something bright, extraordinary, and at the same time useful and educational. Together with Bondibon, we studied children's wishes and prepared a super useful selection of New Year's gifts for children from 3 to 14 years old with different interests.
Developing logic
Every child has the ability to logically and solve complex problems. The idea of the Bondilogica anniversary collection, released in honor of the 15th anniversary of the Bondibon brand, is to reveal this talent and allow it to develop.
The magic of mechanics
Start your own mechanism of gears? Why not! By assembling mechanisms of varying complexity, the child will be able to feel like an engineer. Children will spin colorful gears to develop their creativity and design skills. The game has three difficulty levels and 18 tasks. And the magic key will launch the self-made mechanism to the delight of the children!
Multicubes
Knight's move! Four levels of difficulty and 12 L-shaped cubes, from which you need to recreate the picture according to the booklet with tasks. They depict patterns, mathematical examples on numbers or dots, as well as people and objects of certain professions. The puzzle game contains 48 tasks and as many as 4 difficulty levels.
Cat and mouse
Who will win: cats or mice? It depends on the logic task that the child has to solve. During the game, children must hide the mice as indicated on the cards. At the initial level, it is quite easy and interesting for a 4-year-old child. But at the “Master” level, even adult players will have to think about it.
Tent city
Many children dream of going camping with tents, but their parents don’t allow it: they say it’s dangerous, they’re still young. What if you set up your own tent city without leaving your apartment? Invite children to solve a puzzle of 48 tasks - to correctly place tents among the trees. Logic camping will captivate even adults!
A house for a turtle
What surprises children most about turtles? Of course, a big and strong shell! Invite your child to build a “house” for the turtle. This will require the ability to distinguish geometric shapes by shape, color and size; and also become familiar with the concepts: center, side, angle and diagonal. The puzzle game contains 48 tasks of different difficulty levels.
For young researchers and inventors
Microscope
Children love to explore the world around them. They are interested in what the leaves of trees are made of, who lives in a drop of water, what the microbes look like that parents are so scared of. It’s more interesting to study nature up close—under a microscope! Children will be able to examine in great detail the sheep's wool, sunflower pollen, which are already in the set, and everything they can find at home: from tea leaves to a drop of ink.
Dinosaur Dig
Does your child love dinosaurs or dream of becoming an archaeologist? Give him the opportunity to independently find the skeleton of the most ancient animal on Earth. With the help of a set of real paleontologist's tools, children will be able to “unearth” the Triceratops and clean it of centuries-old dust. And the dinosaur glows in the dark!
Growing crystals
In the eyes of children, homemade crystals are the intersection of science and magic! Crystals can take on the most unusual shapes, be it a heart or a flower. A grown crystal can decorate a home, and children will be happy that they made something with their own hands.
Robot 3 in 1
Robotics is one of the most in-demand modern professions. Many children develop a love for this trend from an early age, when they assemble figurines of cars, people or animals from construction sets. A robot construction kit will help develop your child's engineering skills. What if it is not only a robot, but also a car? The transformation of the construction set will entertain children and prevent them from quickly forgetting the toy.
Robot arm
It’s even more interesting when the designed toy can be controlled! After building a robotic arm, a child can use two joysticks to control axes that allow the arm to move in eight different directions. And the robot’s “claws” can pick up different objects or turn the structure into a slot machine.
For lovers of creativity
Projector for drawing
How to develop a child's imagination and motor skills? Give him a projector with templates for drawing. Choose a drawing, project it onto paper, trace it and color it! The light stencil will allow you to draw both on the white board of the projector and in creative notebooks, which can be easily placed under the beam with images of dinosaurs, animals and other figures.
Aquamosaic
Are puzzles difficult and boring? Not when children are working with water and colored beads. Place the colored balls on the stencil, lightly moisten them with water, and let them dry. The finished figurine made of bright beads will freeze! You can carry your favorite crafts with you as a keychain.
Fashion is also creativity
You can draw not only on a board or piece of paper, but also on your body, even on your nails! Try preparing for the New Year holidays with your child using a nail printer. The high-quality materials in the printer are absolutely safe and will not harm your child. The set is suitable for children from 3 years old.
Children's cosmetics
Children can complete their preparations for going to the Christmas tree or New Year's dinner with the help of a cosmetic bag. Bright and delicate shadows, glitters and gels made from safe materials that have passed strict control will add color to a children's party.
Active games
Aerotir
Isn’t a safe home shooting range a childhood dream? Children of all ages will enjoy competing in their ability to shoot accurately at targets. There are two game modes: shooting at rotating target balls and shooting at targets that indicate the number of points scored. Kids can develop coordination, alertness and spatial reasoning as they try to hit flying targets with a soft bullet blaster. The shooting range also glows in the dark - perfect entertainment for New Year's Eve!
Let's dance!
Turn on your favorite playlist and dance all New Year's holidays! The game consists of cards of four colors that correspond to different parts of the body: one palm, two palms, two arms and the whole body. The player must repeat the movements from the cards, creating a crazy dance to his favorite music.
What about desktops?
Looking for a couple - training your memory
It’s not for nothing that they say about memory games - “both pleasant and useful.” While there is time, players must remember as many pictures as possible. And when each of them is covered with a chip, you need to remember the paired images. The fun game develops concentration, logical thinking and strengthens children's social skills. And the colorful design of the cards attracts the child's attention!
Diving to the bottom
It’s even more interesting when memory can be developed in the underwater world. Invite your child to sink to the bottom of the submersible and look for the necessary sea symbols under the water. The set of 55 different pieces can be transformed into one of six games, which are aimed at both toddlers and older children.
Favorite fairy tales
How well do you remember the fairy tales “Thumbelina”, “Puss in Boots” and “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats”? What about your child? Re-read your favorite fairy tales with your children and take a quiz! The game can be completed either in a competition format, or in a team with a child. 32 double-sided cards combine easy and difficult questions, so your child won't get bored. During the game, visual memory, attention, thinking develop, and the horizons expand.
For the little ones
Seasons
The weather outside the window cannot always explain to a child the difference between the seasons. Rains, fogs, bare trees - is it autumn or spring? It’s easier to tell children about the seasons using cards with a nature background, on which you can overlay transparent blocks with images of animals and plants. A booklet with tasks will diversify the game, teach the child to distinguish between seasons and to fantasize. This educational puzzle game contains 48 tasks of varying difficulty levels.
Kaleidoscope on logic
Or is it better to create your own kaleidoscope? The puzzle includes 16 translucent cards with multi-colored patterns and a booklet with hundreds of tasks of different difficulty levels. A kaleidoscope will introduce children to colors and shapes, and creating unique patterns will develop the child's imagination. This addicting puzzle game contains 100 tasks of varying difficulty levels.
Christmas mood
Dress up the Christmas tree
If your child can’t reach the branches of the Christmas tree yet or you’re afraid to give him fragile glass balls, it’s time to decorate his own mini Christmas tree! The set includes a toy wooden tree and Christmas decorations, from miniature gifts to snowmen. The process helps children develop imagination, fine motor skills and accuracy.
New Year calendar
What if you decorate the Christmas tree throughout December, turning the process into a game? The wooden frame of the New Year's tree must be decorated with balls with dates from 1 to 30, and on New Year's Eve a star with the date 31 is placed on the top of the tree. All miniature decorations can be easily removed from the New Year's tree, so the game can be easily repeated next year.
Making snowflakes
There are scraps of paper everywhere and glue on the floor: making snowflakes with your own hands is not so easy. A set of 16 translucent cards with different shapes of ice will make your New Year's task easier. By imagining or following the tasks from the booklet, children will be able to collect dozens of snowflakes of different shapes. There are no identical snowflakes! This addicting puzzle game contains 100 tasks of varying difficulty levels.
Draw your New Year
Santa Claus, a fairy-tale tree and magical elves - before the New Year, a child’s imagination can develop in completely different directions. The canvas for the New Year's mood will be a set of laminated cards for finishing drawings. Children can follow the dotted lines or create their own colorful pictures. For drawing, you use a special marker that can be erased to create a new exciting story!

Even an inexpensive gift can be presented in such a way that the gift will be remembered for a long time.

- Ask an adult you know to ring the doorbell at the agreed time and leave, leaving a gift.
- Place notes around the house with clues, based on which the child will find a gift.

Anti-gifts: what not to give on New Year's Eve
In short: you should not give something that the child will not be happy about. What exactly children don’t want to find under the Christmas tree:
- hygiene items such as soap or shower gel;
- casual clothes or shoes;
- items related to study: textbooks, office, school backpack.
Of course, these points can and should be neglected if the child himself asked for something from this list.
The gift is important. But the New Year's atmosphere in the house is no less important. Together with your child, decorate the Christmas tree, hang garlands, and set the table beautifully. And then your baby will remember the New Year in his parents’ home with warmth, even when he becomes an adult!
