With the holiday season among us, it is prime time for decorating the house, spending time with family, and of course purchasing gifts. In terms of gift giving, it can at times feel impossible for adults to find something the younger generations will have interest in and enjoy. Trends fade frequently, leaving parents and grandparents in the dark when looking for gifts to place under the tree. Especially when it comes to children and adolescents, their interests are constantly changing, and it becomes problematic to find fitting gifts for those who hardly see their family. People tend to waste valuable time surfing through pages of items, or walking in and out of endless stores hoping to find a present with no luck. Are you experiencing these issues? Do you have no time to go to the store? Afraid the people that you are close to will not like the gifts you give them? Are you unsure where to start? Put those worries to rest, and begin your present search here with the latest and greatest gifts. This list is a great resource that compresses and organizes both kid and teenager categories which are current to today’s craze and fads. Although any and all gifts are blessings, it never hurts to step up your gift giving game, and wow your friends and family this Christmas 2018.
Children Gifts
Googly Eyes Game
In big families, it is exhausting to find toys and games that are fun and enjoyable for all ages. However, the Googly Eyes Game is an excellent accommodation that brings everyone down to the same level. While wearing the vision impairing glasses, players have to draw something and the others players have to guess what they drew. There are different lenses of different strengths which make some pairs blurrier than others. All in all, this game is guaranteed to please your family. You can find this game at your local Target or Walmart.
Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty
This best-selling putty is available in an assortment of colors and forms ranging from “super lava” to “liquid glass.” The putty can be sculpted, stretched, and rolled into unique creations to entertain the whole family. This present would also be ideal for long flights or car rides to keep your kids occupied and quiet. The tin is a perfect stocking stuffer, and is a gift that is made to last for as many uses as desired. You can easily order this off of Amazon, or purchase it at Target.
Klutz LEGO Make Your Own Movie Kit
This gift is unlike any ordinary LEGO set with the directions to follow and the specified number of pieces included. With this new and improved development, kids can now create their own stop-motion animation with any tablet or phone. All they need to do is download the corresponding app, and begin designing their movie with any of the six backgrounds included along with 36 LEGO elements. You can purchase this at your local Barnes & Nobles, Target, or off of Amazon.
Teen Gifts
When it comes to teenagers, gift-giving can be a bit tough for some. What are the best gifts to give to a young adult this holiday season? There’s more options out there than one might think. From self-care gifts, art supplies for a crafty kid, books for those introverts and eager-to-learn students, and more, the perfect gift is out there somewhere. And, even if none of these upcoming gifts sound fit for them, gift cards are always available!
Over the recent years, bath bombs, face masks, and other relaxing self-care items have been all the craze. When it comes to bath bombs, they’re relaxing, smell wonderful, and great for rejuvenation. Certainly a wonderful gift for someone who needs a pick me up from stress, or loves to be pampered. And what goes better with bath bombs than face masks, body oils, and exfoliators? You can find almost all of these items at your local CVS, Target, Pink, Ulta Beauty, or almost every store--for low prices too, just make sure they’re environmental friendly, and give the world a gift too.
Do you know a teen who loves art? If so, these next gifts are excellent for them. Whether it’s drawing, painting, photography, music, or anything of the sort, creative gifts are sure to bring a smile to a creative kid’s face. Online or in craft-stores you can find unique art supplies such as paint brushes, watercolor markers, a high-tech camera -- I personally recommend the Canon brand, and instruments. There’s plenty more where that came from, but these few present ideas would be a lovely surprise.
Introverts are the more tough to buy for people at first. Those who know someone shy would understand that, but there’s definitely something for them as well. Books never seem to fail as a sentimental gift. Maybe you find a dystopian book about pirates and wizards, or a historical book about their heritage, or a poetry book such as i hope this reaches her in time which hits close to home and open the heart’s of the reader so they know that they’re not alone.
There’s plenty of gifts in the world, and each one holds its own admirable qualities which can be given to the teens and children that can hold onto the memories and endowments as they grow in the world. Gifts passed down from family, a heartfelt and handmade present, and thoughtful buys fit for those in mind. But never forget, it’s also the thought that counts, and your love and appreciation can be the best gift of all.
