New Year is a favorite holiday for all children. At this time, the most cherished childhood dreams come true. On New Year's Eve, I really want to surprise the child with a special gift so that the holiday will be remembered for a long time.
What to consider when choosing a gift?
So consider main presentation selection criteria.
- Interests of the child. If an 11-year-old girl likes swimming, and her parents give her videos, her impression of the gift will get worse. You always need to give what the child really wants, otherwise it is not a gift, but an ordinary purchase.
- A letter to Santa Claus is the key to the perfect gift. It is enough to ask the daughter to write the cherished wishes to the bearded grandfather, who rides on a sleigh, and the list of gifts that the daughter will definitely appreciate is already in the pocket of the parents.
- Bright packaging is half the success of the gift. The holiday is impressions and emotions, so you need to think in advance about the packaging in which the gift will be presented. You need to pick up New Year's craft paper or a holiday box.
- You do not need to give a gift in advance. It spoils all the magic of New Year's Eve. It is better to distract the child briefly after twelve in the morning and put gifts under the Christmas tree. This will strengthen the children's faith in Santa Claus and surprise the child.
- Gift - for a child, not for parents. Practical things that parents will use are good, but on New Year's Eve you need to give the girl something that only she will use.
You should not devote too much time, effort and money to choosing a gift. New Year is a family holiday and it is important to be a family on this day. The price of a gift does not matter if it is given in a loving family.
The best gift for the New Year, which does not require cash investments at all, is attention of parents. December 31, you can escape from the hustle and bustle of the holiday, set aside free time and go for a walk with my daughter. You can feed the ducks by the water or look at the Christmas tree in the city center - what matters is not the route, but the purpose of the walk.
Top useful things
Below will be presented the most popular presentations for girls of 11 years old.
- Sewing kit. To create a hobby and captivate the girl with some interesting activity, you can give a miniature sewing machine for the New Year. Such devices allow you to make simple seams and create dresses for Barbie, for example. If you like the gift, in the future you can do sewing at a professional level.
- Dolls. Eleven-year-old girls still continue to play dolls or assemble a house for them, so giving a few dolls on New Year's Eve will be a win-win option.
You can choose sets that come with small houses or rooms (kitchen, living room or fitting room).
- Book. Literature is a great gift for any occasion. If a girl is seriously interested in reading, you can buy an e-book as a gift. Compared to printed books, such a book has many advantages. Buying an e-book will allow you to create a huge library in a small tablet, and this saves time, money and space in the apartment.
- Diary or personal diary with a lock. All girls love to keep secrets or organize their life in one way or another. A personal diary in which you can write your own experiences and hide them from prying eyes is a great New Year gift. In the diary, the child will be able to record important upcoming events so as not to miss them.
- Cosmetic bag. 11 years is the age when girls begin to think about their own beauty. A few simple cosmetics, hygienic lipstick, a mirror - nothing else needs to be added to the cosmetic bag. Cosmetic bag for the New Year will definitely please a girl who is reaching for adult makeup.
- Paints, easel and sketchbook. Presenting New Year's drawing accessories is a great way to attract a girl to a new hobby.
- Fitness bracelet. The accessory at hand not only performs a decorative function, but also has a number of positive features: the bracelet can act as an alarm clock, read the pulse, receive incoming calls, analyze sleep.
Such a "smart" gadget will definitely cause delight in the child.
- Piggy bank for money. The piggy bank assumes the first savings for the child, so its acquisition is extremely necessary. The girl will be able to throw a trifle there, from which a large amount will come out over time. There are options for Christmas piggy banks, as well as piggy banks in the form of animals.
- Case for smartphone. The case is a very useful accessory, because it saves the phone from cracks and scratches on the screen. Under the style of the New Year, you can buy New Year's designs of covers - winter landscapes, snowmen and fireworks.
- A chest or a safe. A small box for storing important things will serve the child as a personal box for keeping secrets.
- MP3 player. If a child is fond of listening to music, a good player will be a high-quality player for playing songs. You should choose a model with a large supply of memory, so that it is enough for the entire music library.
- Sled. In the winter season, children often spend time rolling down the hills. Safe sledges will please fans of this active holiday.
- Cheesecake or tubing. The gift has common characteristics with a sled, however, it differs in design. Tubing is a tire covered with a rag sheath outside. On "cheesecakes" you can safely accelerate to high speed, while sleds are associated with the risk of bumping or falling.
- Constructor. For girls, there are a huge number of designers on the topic of women's cafes and dressing rooms.In addition to the fact that designers with fine details develop their imagination and fine motor skills well, they are very warmly perceived as New Year's presents.
You can buy several small sets or one large for the New Year theme.
- Doll house. Many girls at the age of 11 dream of a real house in miniature: rooms, walls and roof. Young girls want to equip each room and plan who will live in this or that room. For the New Year, you can fulfill the girls dream if you buy a big house for Barbie.
Original presentation ideas
The list of unusual gifts is as follows.
- A ticket to the cinema, water park or museum. You can also give such a gift not only to your daughter, but also to any other girl: the ticket price is small, however, a ticket to the event will give a lot of impressions. Closer to the New Year it is better to choose tickets for Christmas films in the cinema.
- Slippers. On New Year's Eve, you can buy soft big slippers in the shape of an animal as a gift. Hares, walruses or lions - cute fluffy slippers will appeal to any person.
- Name pen with New Year decoration. You can give a pen to a friend or sister with her name: the gift will make any girl happy, and the pen will come in handy at school.
- New Year Passport Cover. Beautiful covers for documents are an original and useful gift. In the New Year you can choose colorful winter options.
- Set of artificial snow. On New Year's Eve, you can give your daughter a set of “magic snow”. It is a dry substance from which artificial snow can be made in a simple way. The snow will interest the child and give a lot of pleasant experiences.
- Big soft toy. Snowman, Santa Claus or Snow Maiden - it doesn’t matter, the main thing is that the toy should be of impressive size and related to the New Year. A large plush toy makes an impression and is one of the best gifts for the New Year.
- New Year's night lamp. There are many options for sleeping nightlights that are equipped with a system of different colors: blue, pink, purple. Such a New Year's gift will surprise the girl and give her a calm sleep in warm colors.
What is not worth giving?
There are a number of things that an eleven-year-old girl should not give to the New Year. Let's consider them in more detail.
- Money in an envelope. At an early age, any amount of money is not able to cause delight. For children, money is not such an important attribute as for adults. Therefore, if there are no ideas for a gift, it is better to buy a sweet present.
- Towel, socks and other accessories. Christmas slippers in the shape of animals are an acceptable gift, but a towel with a Christmas print for a child will seem a boring and dull gift. Socks also belong to things that are worth buying outside of any holidays. Among the "household" gifts also include handkerchiefs, hairbrushes, bed linen.
- Pet. Getting a new resident on New Year's Eve is not the best event. Animals cannot be gifted because this is a serious step: you must look after a living creature every day. An exception to the rule: if the parents of the child knowingly purchased a hamster or a dog as a gift, since the daughter had long dreamed of a little friend.
- Footwear. Perhaps the worst New Year present is a new pair of shoes. If a child needs new shoes, it is advisable to purchase them not on holiday days. No child will be delighted with new shoes at the end of the year.
- Bracelets, rings and earrings. A smart bracelet is not jewelry, but various accessories for wearing are. At such an early age, the child wants to receive a surprise for the New Year, and not a small box with earrings.
- Cake. On New Year's Eve a cake as a gift will look out of place. Yes, the treat is tasty, but as a gift from Santa Claus, the cake does not fit. If you can’t wait to feed the girl sweets, it is better to stop at the New Year's sweet gift with bright packaging.
- School notebooks, pencil case, uniform. All items related to the school should be excluded from possible gifts. On holiday, the child wants to escape from school and get magic, not notebooks.
