6 Best Gifts for Children This Holiday
Chocolates. Toys. Cookies. Clothes. The list goes on but there are timeless presents that are often underrated in a child’s life. Beyond giving the children short-lived pleasure of salivating, there are gifts that can outlive your time together with your children and they would come to appreciate them in future. Here are some of the gifts of a lifetime to share with children this holiday.
Chores
That may sound weird but it’s life changing. Give your children the pleasure of doing some house chores. Perhaps your housekeeper does everything for you: from cooking to laundry. This holiday, engage your children with arranging their wardrobes, giving out old clothes and ironing the washed clothes.
Skills
Allow your children to learn a skill this holiday. They can take online classes or watch DIY videos. From crocheting to baking, children can learn some life skills this holiday that can serve them now and in the future.
Movie Nights
Spend some time watching some movies with your children. It’s not just about the movie genres but the banters. Share the bond and get to know your child’s personality through the kind of characters he or she empathises with in a movie.
Iconic Music Albums
Ever thought of giving your child a music album? It’s a very thoughtful gift that holds such cultural significance. You can crystallise history by the sort of album you give to a child and that type of gift can easily become an heirloom.
Books
Let’s go from beautiful boxsets and lip-smackingly tasty cookbooks to winter-warmer fiction and inspiring sports books. Books are very good for young minds. Well-bred children weaned on books often turn out to be well-spoken adults. You can also shape a child’s character by the kinds of books they read. Control that narrative now by catching them young.
Painting
You can splurge on a good painting for your child or children. It becomes a good investment one day when the art work appreciates in value.
