The question of what can be presented to a child of 12 years old puzzles the invited guests, because dads and mothers are aware of the interests of their child. Children's stores are chock full of various goods and toys. It remains to be found out what exactly will please the hero of the occasion.
Age features
When choosing a gift should take into account age features. Your counterpart is no longer a child, but also not a teenager. A gift should be a functional thing that will last more than one year. However, it is important not to repeat, because modern children do not complain about the shortage of toys, clothes and other amenities of life.
It is best to inquire about the preferences of the birthday man with the child's parents or ask him himself. At the age of 12, children can clearly explain what they are interested in and what they would like to receive, because they have long felt like adults. Well, then you need to act on the basis of the information received.
If the child is interested in style issues, the donor will have a direct road to the children's clothing store where you can pick up a fashion accessory. For creative and thoughtful children, various creative sets are suitable. If a child loves sports and outdoor activities, it is worth taking a closer look at the sports range. A bright roomy backpack, a sports water bottle, a protection kit or a new ball will be accepted with a bang.
If the birthday boy is fond of a particular sport and has achievements, he will be pleased to receive a gift that reflects his passion. It can be a personalized medal, a badge or a brooch in the form of a sports equipment.
A universal option is considered original impression gifts: Today in shopping malls sets of gift certificates are sold, according to which you can go to a master class or a trial lesson.
New skills allow the child to stand out from the crowd of peers and feel incredibly cool. When choosing a gift you need to be guided by several standard requirements.
- The donated item must be safe and made of non-toxic materials. It must be borne in mind that the gift can be used for other purposes, so it should not be dangerous for either the child or others.
- Before buying, you should pay attention to quality certificates. This is a guarantee that the present will live the intended time and will not break during the first attempt at operation.
But before you go to the store for a purchase, it is worth paying attention to things that should not be presented on a birthday.
What is not worth giving?
The first thing that comes to mind is to look at a cool t-shirt or stylish dress. However, there is a risk not to guess with the size - the child may be larger. Yes, and it grows quickly, and the purchased item will quickly become small. Sportsman, shoes and other necessary equipment the birthday man also has to choose. An exception is if the donor often communicates with the child and knows well what size / style / style he will definitely like.
If you are not sure of the right choice, it is better to hand the child a gift certificate for a certain amount, and he will buy everything he needs.
Another burning topic is the giving of money. This is a great way to save time and solve the gift issue without running around the store. But everyone has different material possibilities. If a small amount is presented, it will dissolve in a larger offering. Therefore, it is better to take the trouble and go through the outlets to find the right gift option.
And certainly you should not give an animal as a gift. Every child dreams of a living pet, but to realize his desire in life is possible only after agreement with the parents. After all, a four-legged friend is not a toy and requires some care, which may not have time. In order not to upset the child and not to get himself in an unpleasant position, it’s better to clarify this delicate moment in advance.
Even if the idea of living creatures turned out to be obsessive, it’s worth looking at other options for gifts by gender.
Gifts for boys
12-year-old boys are actively interested in technology and electronics. Maintaining their interest is quite simple. You can purchase a cool set of "Lego" or a designer that allows you to create various electrical circuits. The stores have a large selection of prefabricated models of ships, aircraft, helicopters, tanks. Each set is accompanied by a drawing, material (wood or plastic) and instructions.
The degree of complexity of the work is indicated on the packaging. Paints and necessary tools are usually purchased separately.

A virtual reality helmet will allow him to immerse himself in the atmosphere of his favorite movie, and driving a race car is much more interesting with the help of a game steering wheel. A stylish fitness bracelet will allow the boy to control the level of his physical activity.

If it comes to buying a gift for a child’s friend, you should pay attention to inexpensive and interesting things. For example, using a 3D pen, the child will try his hand at the image of three-dimensional space. Complete with a pen are templates that help you understand the principles of this area. The best option would be a flashlight keychain or pendant with the logo of your favorite team.

Present for a girl

By the way, about the latter - creative sets are sold in children's stores, which offer a little fashionista herself to color a bag or sew a cosmetic bag. If the girl likes to needlework, she will definitely be pleased with the cross-stitch or bead embroidery kit. And you can attach it to a new interesting form of creativity, for example, soap making, making decorative candles or scrapbooking.
