A trip to the circus, the aquarium, and the concert of your favorite artist will also be a pleasant surprise if the child has long dreamed about it.

When choosing expensive gifts, you should first focus on the age of the child.

For very young children, valuable gifts, such as electronic gadgets and robots, often do not make sense, since they are easy to break. Emotion, joy from a gift are important for a child. At the same time, the desire of adults to present something more substantial is understandable. In this case, some donors will first find out from their parents what, in addition to toys, the birthday man needs, and give the child some sort of catchy surprise, and give the parents money in an envelope.

A successful surprise should be:

• bright and colorful;
• so that everyone can play with him together;
• bearing good meaning.

Older children have their own interests and hobbies. And here, to guess with a gift, it is worth consulting with his parents: what he likes and what is suitable for age. Perhaps the child is diligent and will patiently observe or carefully examine an expensive gift, or maybe he will be a fidget and will instantly take it apart. Here you can also find out from parents about their plans for a major purchase for the child’s birthday and put together a present for them.

You can give money to older children, when their preferences are difficult to figure out. Older students can already set goals and save on them. In this case, money can be a good gift for them.

Shop counters provide a huge selection of sweets for every taste - figured chocolate and marmalade, cakes, sweets, candy bars and their sets. You can also order original cakes with the image of the most diverse subjects: favorite characters of the child, his hobbies (football, music).

If you want to make a sweet gift with your own hands, then a pleasant surprise will be cake made of sweets. To do this, use a foam base, paste it with corrugated paper, and attach chocolate bars and sweets to it, securing them with a bright ribbon. On top, you can lay curly marmalade or color dragees.

In a similar way, only changing the shape of the base, you can make sweet tank or typewriter for a boy. Girls will like it candy princess bouquet or castle. A box for sweets or a gift in the form of a heart or other shape can also be decorated “sweetly” - by the same principle as a candy cake.

Another option for a sweet gift is a gingerbread. Co-cooked at home on his own, he gives room for the imagination of his decoration. But in order to really surprise the birthday boy, it’s better to make a gingerbread house - such a gift will definitely be unique.

Choosing a souvenir for a child also needs to be in accordance with his age and needs.

Souvenirs for small children are personal items, such as dishes with engraving, clothes with embroidery, photo frames, etc. Some of these items can really be used by babies, but there are some that are given as a keepsake and kept as a family heirloom.

For older children, souvenirs of folk arts and crafts will be interesting: nesting dolls, dolls, whistles, bells, pipes. A snow globe will fascinate a child of any age. This gift will delight the birthday boy for a long time and remind him of the celebration.It is possible that you will need a small version of such a ball, for this case mini-balls, which are also sold in sets, are suitable.

A wider selection of souvenirs for teenagers and teens: key chains, roulettes, personalized photo frames, lamps, night lights, soft toys, including with plaids or other surprises, all kinds of piggy banks.

After the gift is selected, it will be beautifully packaged. Packaging is in the form of baskets, boxes, gift bags and bags. The present can be wrapped in wrapping paper, placed in an inflated ball or use other options suggested by imagination.

It is convenient to put small toys, cosmetics sets, sweets in the basket. They come in different sizes and styles: rectangular, round, oval, wooden and plastic, with and without handles. The basket chosen according to taste and size should be decorated with an elegant ribbon, flower or bow.

If you need to pack sweets, small board games, a phone, then opt for the box. They come in the form of a house, shoes or a sneaker, in the form of cartoon characters, animals and the like. They can be bought ready-made or made independently by templates.

You can decorate a simple box with plastic rhinestones, ribbons, buttons, beads. Sometimes they are made out with sweets. On the finished packaging, you can attach some small toy, a keychain using double-sided tape or a ribbon. A bright ribbon in the shape of a flower can become an independent decoration.

To pack a gift that does not fit in a box or is inconvenient to put there, It is recommended to use a smart bag for packaging. It can also be bought or sewn and decorated to your taste with applique or embroidery by attaching a gift tag.

The next packaging option is wrapping paper. Gifts are wrapped in it, which are inconvenient to put in a box, and those that are already packed in a box, but require decoration. Decorate such a gift with bright ribbons collected in flowers or bows. A good option is to wrap an elongated gift in brown paper in the form of candy.

Even more enjoyable than buying and preparing a gift is the moment it is presented. After all, you can just give a cooked present, or you can arrange a whole performance.

Here are some ways to present:

• suspend a light object or put it next to the bed so that when he wakes up in the morning, a surprise is waiting for the child;
• attach a ribbon to the bed and stretch it throughout the house as a guide to the gift;
• having caught the moment when the birthday person wakes up, present a present to his favorite music or to the sounds of tricks, putting on funny caps or dressing up with fairy-tale characters, accompanying congratulations with applause and good wishes;
• make a card with a cache where the gift is hidden, and arrange its search from contests;
• fill the cupboard with balls and hide a gift there or offer to open a cooked box from which helium balls will fly with a tied present;
• hide in a plush toy;
• leave at the doorstep and, ringing the door and hide;
• hide the toy on the control panel so that it suddenly leaves the secret place, carrying a gift.
