But, before we discuss some of the gift options that you can present to your children this year, let take a look at the reason why India celebrates Children’s day on the 14th November every year.
Children’s Day-History and Background
Children’s day in India is not only dedicated to the children but also holds a special significance. The day marks the birth anniversary of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first Prime Minister who was extremely fond of children. Every year, the country celebrates the day with a great deal of enthusiasm, love and laughter. In addition to celebrating childhood, schools, educational institutions and other communities organize a wide range of cultural programs and events including competitions such as crafts, painting, fancy dress, debate, singing etc.
Gift Options for Children’s Day
Now that you know the history behind Children’s day celebration in India, let’s discuss some unique gift ideas and options that you can consider to surprise your little prince and princesses this year.
- Gaming Consoles & PC Games:
The number one option on our list is gaming consoles & PC games. Yes, you read it right! It’s no surprise that kids today love to indulge in PC games and consoles. In fact, the PC gaming industry in itself has undergone massive transformation in the past couple of years. PC game developers, gaming products and console providers are launching new and adventure packed games as well as gaming devices with every passing year. This implies that there are a whole lot of games and devices that you can consider gifting your child this year.
- Comics & Magazines:
Is your child fond of comic books and magazines? If yes, then why not purchase some of the popular comic books such as Chacha Chaudhary, Super Commando Dhruva, Spider-Man and Diamond Comics among others this Children’s day. They will love to grab these comics and go through them again and again.
- Slime:
Slime is one of the most sought-after playing options for kids these days. Children, no matter big or small, are fond of slime simply because it is addictive and fun to play with. Slime is essentially a playing material that is loved by children for its texture and looks. So, if you truly want to delight and excite your child then gift them colourful and glittery slime sets and they will thank you for the rest of the year.
- Kinetic Sand:
Nothing excites kids more than the fact that they can play and dirty themselves with sand. Yes, that’s the kind of fun that we are talking about! Kinetic sand, available both online and in popular kid’s store, is a special kind of sand that is similar in texture to the beach sand. Available in different colours, kinetic sand does not stick on any type of surface and is easy to tidy up.
- Personalized Gifts:
Personalized gifts are a wonderful way to show how much you care for your little ones. For instance, you can present a personalized cushion to your children by having their photos printed on different cushions and put the same in your kids’ bedroom to surprise them. Apart from a personalized cushion there are many other gift options that you can consider such as personalized mugs, t-shirts, photo frames and accessories among other items.
- Digital Camera for Kids:
Yet another exciting option that you can consider gifting your children is a digital camera that is specially designed for kids. Digital cameras for kids look similar to toy cameras but they function much like any professional camera that captures images. These cameras are capable of capturing decent quality photographs and will keep your children engaged throughout the day. So, if your child is fond of photography, then a kid’s digital camera would definitely be a good idea.
Apart from the above mentioned gift items, you can also present your child with numerous other gifts such as toys, board games, attires, school items and stationery etc. Also, no matter what item you pick for your child, don’t forget to shower them with all your love as well as support to make them feel special and loved.
