I find that choosing gifts for children for Christmas can be even trickier than shopping for adults. I want to make sure that they are given something useful, and not just extra plastic that they’ll forget about. Choosing good quality and long lasting products is always a great idea to me. But as children grow, so do their needs. Their tastes change too, and they can start to be a little fussier about what they play with or wear. So if you have little ones that have a penchant for all things chic and stylish, what do you get them? Here are a few gifts ideas for stylish little ones.
For Pretend Play
Imaginative and pretend play is essential for our children. But you might want to get something than a bog-standard plastic shopping cart or basket. How about a stylish afternoon tea set, or even a chopping food or fruit set? Melissa and Doug have a great selection of wooden play sets. You could even get a wooden pretend play sushi set, for example. Perfect for classy little ones.
Clothing
It might not be the most fun gift for a child, but clothing is always a useful gift. You could just get some of the standard things that you know they need. You could splash out on a designer little outfit for them, though. If they are getting a little older like my daughter, then they become conscious about what they are wearing. So the right kind of clothes can help them feel more confident. You could choose an outfit or just one item from Gucci kids, for example. This would certainly be a fantastic gift for tween-age children.
Stylish Accessories
There are so many little things that you could get that ooze style. You could get them a leather backpack, for example. Having them carry their things around with them is great for holidays and day trips. You could get them some sunglasses or perhaps a funky new pair of shoes. High tops are always a good choice and work well for both boys and girls.
Scooter
Scooters are a really big deal these days. I can’t really see a time when they will ever be out of style. They are practical too. So why not get them a scooter, if they don’t already have one? The metal ones tend to be the longest lasting. If your child already has one, then getting them a helmet or some accessories for it is a good idea too. A bell or a basket are good ideas.
Fancy Dress
Being able to use their imagination is always good for our children. So having a good stash of dressing up accessories is really useful. Choose a variety of outfits, include some fun little accessories too. Dressing up shoes are always a really fun idea, as well as things like jewelry and crowns, for example. Make sure that you have them out on display, so they can just pull them out as and when they want them.
