Birthday Gifts for Kids

Want to find the perfect birthday gifts for kids? Imagination, creativity and thoughtfulness are three things to keep in mind when brainstorming kids birthday gift ideas. It's also good to know that a kid’s birthday gift does not need to be expensive or over the top, it just needs to be something that the recipient will enjoy.

Some of the best kids birthday gifts are things that they can use. Toys, dolls, or arts and crafts supplies are always a safe bet for a child of any age because they're fun and encourage play. Sometimes you may not know what the birthday boy/girl is interested in, so when choosing a gift make sure it's something universal for either. Do a little research on popular kids toys or crafts because children’s toys are constantly changing.

If you do know what the child likes, then tailor your gift to fit their interests. For example, if they love drawing buy them art supplies or if they like cars buy them a model car set that they can assemble themselves. You can also tailor the gift to the party theme you were invited to, like a Star Wars, Sesame Street, Dora, or Gabby's Dollhouse toy, book, or game.

If you won't see the birthday kid in person, send a digital birthday card and include a gift card they'll love. Personalize a Sesame Street birthday card, unicorn birthday card, shark birthday card, or other design that features favorite kid characters and themes. Next, add a digital gift card and deliver you eCard by text or email instantly!


Other unique birthday gifts for kids include:
  •  Tickets to see a play, musical, or 3D movie
  •  Gift certificate to their favorite restaurant
  •  A gift basket with all the ingredients and tools to make their favorite dessert
  •  A personalized backpack with their initials
  •  A DIY outside scavenger hunt basket complete with flashlights, a list of things to find, etc.
  •  Splurge on a piece of jewelry or a special toy that they have had their hearts set on
Birthday gifts for kids should be fun and educational if possible. Think outside of the box and be thoughtful to ensure that you give the right present at your next kids birthday celebration.
