What really captivates pre-school girls? Get ready for years spent with princesses, dragons and all sorts of fairytale creatures, so the heroes of Paw Patrol or the characters from Frozen are a sure bet. Animal lovers will be delighted by a new cuddly friend, and the more domestic girls will love a sweet doll they can look after. For the aspiring chefs, a wooden kitchen or a little toy shop is a great choice, as it lets them express themselves and take their first steps into the adult world.
For young girls you can choose something imaginative or artistic that lets kids exercise and develop their creative talents, but classic toys remain popular as well. You will rarely go wrong with the ever-trendy Barbie dolls or stylish Lolkas, authentic mini-figures, and cute animal characters. Young bookworms will love their first adventure books, and if you have a fan of dolls, a stylish dollhouse is another great tip.
Older girls will probably prefer something creative rather than a toy. Painting by numbers or self-made bead bracelets are a fun pastime that can serve as a gateway to other artistic pursuits. A more athetic girl will be thrilled with a new scooter, especially if it's an electric scooter! Cosmetics or jewellery will also be a hit at this age, and if you're looking for recommendations for budget-friendly gifts, you can opt for a fun board game or a good book or three.
A preschooler boy's world is often full of toy cars, trains, planes and excavators—it just depends on what the particular young driver or pilot likes. Still in demand are classic car tracks for high-adrenaline racing with friends or anybody who is at hand, or wooden trains complete with tracks that can be endlessly rearranged. Also don't forget that every kid should have at least one dinosaur friend at home. For the aspiring young builders, we recommend the legendary LEGO® Duplo sets.
Buying a gift for a young schoolboy? How about getting him a proper remote-controlled buggy, which he can use not only at home, but also outdoors? There are a variety of options for outdoor activities at this age, so if you've got an enthusiastic athlete, you can't go wrong with a new skateboard or hoverboard. Together you also can explore the world of robotics or start dabbling in programming, and if your kid is a researcher and explorer in the making, he'll love a kids' lab kit complete with a real microscope.
Wondering how to choose a good gift for a young teenager? Interactive toys in the form of various programmable robots or electronic building blocks are all the rage. Adventurous individuals will love to take an RC model car for a spin, fly a drone, or go for a ride with a new hoverboard. A game console will instantly make you the kid's favourite person, and for enthusiatic collectors we have Pokémon cards and a range of figures from all kinds of franchises.
We recommend choosing gifts for babies according to their specific age, because when the baby is this small, every month is different. For the tiniest babies, the classic choices are various teething toys and rattles, crib mobiles, or hanging toys for the stroller. A curious six-month-old may have lots of fun playing with a musical toy or learning to recognise animal sounds. From one year onwards, you can get them cars, dolls, stuffed animals, simple puzzles and first books with rhymes and poems.
If your kid is a big LEGO® fan, then gift-giving will be easy. For the youngest builders, you can get one of the imaginative LEGO® Duplo sets with large bricks. Older kids can choose from a wide range of themed sets aimed at both boys and girls, such as LEGO® Frozen or LEGO® Harry Potter. LEGO® Technic then offers detailed models that can often be linked to a mobile app, while LEGO® Architecture features scaled-down buildings from all over the world.
Who says the only good toys are the expensive ones? It's true that cutting-edge technology will cost you, but even simpler gifts can bring great joy. A classic example is a board game that the whole family can play together and have a lot of fun. You've got a plethora of choices, from strategic games like Settlers, to the ever-hilarious Activity, to educational board games where you can learn lots of new stuff.
