What to give a child 11 years old?

All people love to receive gifts for the holidays and just like that. When choosing a presentation, you need to take into account both personality characteristics and hobbies of a person, as well as his age. This article will discuss what to give a child 11 years old.

Eleven years can be called a kind of transition from childhood to adolescence. The changes concern not only the physiology, but also the psychology of the child. During this period, children become more purposeful, learn to argue and defend their interests. Therefore, when choosing a gift, you must definitely take into account the hobbies of the child.

However, not always teens share their desires with parents. In addition to gifts that are directly related to the child’s hobby, there are universal things that are suitable for any gender.

Some things will be far from the most desirable gifts for eleven-year-old boys and girls. Consider what you should not give a child 11 years old.

• Boys are unlikely to be delighted with soft toys, and girls - dolls and other items for young children. An exception may be collectibles.
• It is not recommended to present clothes since there is a great risk not to please the teenager, and there is also a high probability of making a mistake with the size.
• Flowers and sweets can be presented as an addition to the main gift. However, a bouquet can please only girls.
• Things for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases (e.g. inhalers, thermometers), as well as vitamins and medicines.
• Socks and underwear.
• Present by age - For example, it’s too early for boys at this age to give shaving products and razors.
• Items for household and repair. Even if a child likes to help parents around the house, he is unlikely to be pleased with a gift in the form of a mop or a hammer.
• Things that do not correspond to the interests and hobbies of a teenager. For example, if parents consider it necessary to teach a girl to knit, but she herself does not want this, she will not like a knitting kit.

Eleven-year-olds spend a lot of time with their friends. Children at this age are quite active and mobile.

Various gadgets have become an integral part of the lives of people of almost all ages. When choosing such a gift, it is worth considering the child's need for a particular subject. As for the options for various gadgets and technology, these can be:

• smartphone or tablet;
• MP3 player
• gaming consoles;
• personal computer or laptop;
• digital camera or camcorder.

Most often, only adult relatives can afford to buy an expensive gift. From a peer to a good friend or girlfriend, you can present the following.

• Wrist Watch. In this case, girls are better off giving mechanical or quartz models. For boys, an electronic watch is more preferable.
• Cool souvenirs. Such gifts are especially good if the teenager is collecting some specific items.
• A good and developing gift will be a set for creativity, which is also worth choosing according to the interests of the child. For girls, it can be sets for embroidery or sculpting figures. Boys may like burning and assembling models of aircraft, tanks, or other equipment.
• Board or computer games.
• Case for smartphone with drawings of your favorite characters or just in the original design.
• At 11 years old, teens are still children, so they can be pleased certain toys. For example, boys can be presented with a set of large water pistols or a mini-robot.
• Girls can give special baby cosmetics, perfumes or jewelry.

The most reliable way to choose a gift for an eleven-year-old is to find out from him what he wants to receive as a presentation. However, this is not always possible. When choosing a surprise, you can rely on the hobbies of the child. Consider examples of gifts that are directly related to the interests of a teenager.

• A book, provided that the teenager likes to read. Such a present can be given if the child’s preferences in literature are well known.
• If the child is actively interested in sports, then a good gift for him would be sport equipment, for example: balls, tennis rackets, hockey sticks and so on.
• Children who are interested in music can be presented musical instruments and tutorials on playing them. It can also be a good microphone, speakers or headphones.
• Young researchers may be interested in gifts such as microscopes and telescopes.

In addition to standard gifts, there are a large number of original things that will not only please, but also surprise a teenager. Now in stores you can find many interesting gadgets, for example, a flying alarm clock. Such a present will be not only original, but also useful.

A T-shirt with cool inscriptions or a picture, as well as slippers in the form of a favorite animal or cartoon character are also quite interesting solutions. Choosing such a gift, you need to be extremely careful not to make a mistake with the size. T-shirt design can be developed independently and then use the services of photo printing.

Currently, services that provide gift-picking services are gaining popularity. Such boxing surprises include several items that are selected by the company’s employees in accordance with certain criteria: the amount of the gift, the person’s age and gender, his addiction, hobbies, and lifestyle. What kind of objects will lie in the box is not known in advance.

An unusual and interesting gift for a young naturalist will be an ant farm. The conditions for the ants in such structures are as close as possible to the natural habitat. Such a present will allow you to observe the life of insects and study their habits.

It can be a ticket or a joint trip to an event. Boys will enjoy going to a go-kart club or flying in a wind tunnel. For girls, you can organize a professional photo shoot or go to a cooking workshop.

Tasty presents are best given to an eleven-year-old child in addition to the main present. All children love sweets, regardless of gender, so this present can be considered universal. As an edible gift, you can use the following.

• Delicious and beautiful cake. Many confectioners make baked goods to order in accordance with the wishes for its design.
• Various chocolate figures.
• Set of baby’s favorite sweets. If the taste preferences of a teenager are known, then it is better to make such a set yourself. To make the gift more unusual, you can arrange sweets in the form of a bouquet or some shape.
• You can bake a delicious pie, cookies or gingerbread on your own. Sweets are best decorated with colorful glaze. You can also write congratulations and wishes on them.
