To become a godfather or godmother is not only to take part in a beautiful church ceremony, but also to voluntarily take on a number of obligations that relate to the spiritual development of the godson or goddaughter. It is believed that godparents should annually wish their godchildren a happy birthday. And the gift should not only bring joy to the birthday man, but also contribute to his spiritual growth. Presentations, of course, are selected depending on the age of the children and their inclinations.
Gift for the smallest
On the first birthday of a child, a boy or a girl, parents are usually presented with items that are necessary to care for a one-year-old baby, and a variety of educational toys. Of course, this gift will be more intended in order to facilitate the work of parents. And the goddaughter herself can be presented with children's clothes for her first birthday - it is better that it be something practical, for example, a winter jumpsuit or boots.
Just a beautiful dress that a girl will wear, most likely, only on this day, will not be the most useful present. And you can also present accessories necessary for daily child care:
- a bath for bathing or a thermometer to measure the temperature of the water;
- teething;
- child car seat or cradle;
- playpen.
Of course, a one-year-old is already starting to be interested in toys. Here you must first focus on the age of the baby.
When choosing a gift, it is mandatory to pay attention to the safety of the toy.
How to please a girl 3-5 years old?
If you want to give a toy to a three-year-old girl, then you should take into account that personal preferences are already being formed at this age, so now you need to focus not only on the age qualification of a particular product, but also on the desire of the child. The most common and almost win-win option in this case is a doll. Prefer not Barbie dolls, which are popular with older girls, but large dolls.
Games in the classic "mother-daughter" give rise to a maternal instinct in a little girl, which will be very useful to her in the future.
Important! There is no need to give a doll that is too expensive, “stuffed to the teeth” stuffed with electronics, as children at this age really like to taste everything. Therefore, you do not need to risk the health of the child - buy the simplest and most durable sample as possible.
And also in this time of life, the child needs educational games, which include cubes (preferably with pictures or letters), a designer (without small and sharp details), musical instruments, books (preferably with strong cardboard pages), pyramids, drawing boards. In addition, toys aimed at developing creative abilities, which include finger toys (with their help a girl can arrange whole home performances), a set of plasticine, compact sandboxes, can be a great gift idea for a young dreamer.
Preschool Girl Present
For the fifth anniversary of the goddaughter, it is still appropriate to give the doll. But you can also give her a baby carriage, a dollhouse, a kit for caring for a toy baby.
In addition, at this age, girls like to try on all sorts of professions, so for their birthday you can give them, for example, Young Doctor set (cook, hairdresser, policeman and the like).
A great option for a girl 5-6 years old will be bike or scooter. If your goddaughter lives with her parents outside the city, then products for outdoor games will be a great gift for her: inflatable slides, houses, tents, pools and more. In general, any sports equipment, whether it be jump ropes, bars, a sports wall or a swimming board, will come in handy for a child at this age.
It will be pleasant for a little fashionista to receive as a gift a handbag for personal belongings, a box for her “secrets” or hairpins, a fashionable toy dog with clothes and the like.
With the permission of the parents, you can give the girl baby cosmetics for example, hygienic lipstick with a pleasant smell, eau de toilette with a slight sweet or floral aroma, cream for baby skin, a beautiful comb or hairpin, sparkles for the face or hair, light baby blush, baby shampoo and more.
Do not be afraid of this gift inadvertently accelerating her gender development, because the sooner the girl learns to independently monitor her appearance, the greater the likelihood that by age she will learn how to correctly use cosmetics, avoiding “excesses”.
What to give to a girl of 8-12 years old?
A very large number of girls at this age asks their parents to give them a pet, so if mom and dad do not mind the goddaughter, then you can present her kitten, puppy, fish, parrot, decorative hamster or guinea pig.
Important! When giving a pet, do not forget to purchase everything you need for his care: a tray, a bowl, food, a cage and more.
Sports gifts at this age do not lose relevance. If a girl attends any sports section, then you can give her some accessory or equipment that would be useful to her during classes. For example, if the goddaughter goes in karate, you can give her a new kimono, and if she attends the gymnastics section, she will be pleased to receive a high-quality sports leotard.The same applies to other hobbies: a girl goes to ballet - buy her pointe shoes or other necessary accessory; climbing circle - equipment; figure skating - skates and so on.
A godchild at this age can be handed beautiful jewelry made of precious metalsfor example, a chain with a cross or a medallion with the image of its heavenly patron, bracelet, earrings. This gift will be not only valuable, but also memorable.
Since the duty of the godfather or godmother consists not only in all kinds of custody of the child, but also in his religious upbringing, it is possible to present her an illustrated children's bible, a children's prayer book, an icon depicting a saint whose name the girl bears.
What to present to a young beauty 14-18 years old?
Adolescence is a very interesting and at the same time difficult time of life. If 10 years ago a child would have been delighted with any gift, and he would have been overwhelmed with a sense of joy from novelty, then at this age it can be difficult to please a girl. Therefore, in choosing a gift in this case, it is necessary to focus primarily on the interests of the girl.
A good gift can be a beautiful edition of the book in your favorite birthday girl genre. She will also be pleased with a ticket to a concert of her favorite music artist or group.
A pretty original gift to the goddaughter will be an LED lamp of an interesting shape.
Will delight a teenage girl and certificate for visiting the spa, photo shoot.
If your goddaughter has already decided on the choice of educational institution where she plans to study after school, then you can pay for educational or preparatory courses.
