9 Unique Birthday Gift Ideas for Kids This Year

This post may contain affiliate links. Read full disclosure.

by RAKI WRIGHT

As a kid, what did you look forward to the most on your birthdays? The cake? Yes. Gifts? Definitely. But weren’t we all overjoyed when kids party entertainers used to perform? Clowns, pirates, magicians, and fairies- they had a myriad number of ways to brighten our day.

But, now that Covid restrictions are still in force, group activities have taken a backseat. Naturally, kids are the ones bearing the most of it. But that is no reason why your little ones should not enjoy their birthdays. A gift of choice will cheer anyone up. So, we have curated a list of nine gift ideas. We can assure you your child will go gaga over any of these- 

  • Blocks and rides: –

The study reveals one to five years is a very active time for toddlers. Blocks, stuffed animals, and push/pull rides are the best toys for your children of this age. As these toys have very detailed textures, it helps your toddler in understanding shapes. 

  • Baseball Bedding Set: –

Does your little kid dream of making it to the Australian Baseball League or even to MLB? Then why not show your support by presenting them with a baseball bedding set. Most packages come with a custom-made pillowcase and a duvet of your kid’s favorite baseball player. 

  • LEGO Sets: –

Lego sets are always at the top of the most-selling gift lists. A Super Mario Lego set is just the thing your kid needs for their birthdays. What makes it stand apart is your kids can pair the course with an app or tablet to play the game digitally. Indeed, a next-gen marvel!

It is one of the best gifts for your kid’s entertainment and helps keep them engaged. 

  • Coding robot: –

Gone are the days when coding used to be only for software developers. Nowadays, schools are introducing coding quite early. So, why not initiate your child into the world of coding through a toy? A coding robot will do whatever your eight-year-old programs it, too. It’s exciting and educational.  

  • Musical instrument: –

Studies have repeatedly demonstrated the impactful effect of music on brain development. So, it needs no further convincing on our part to bring home the importance of musical instruments. How about surprising your kid with a portable keyboard? Or a small drum set, perhaps?  

And, when your child gains mastery in playing these instruments, he can flatter your guests whenever you host any kid’s entertainment party at your home. 

  • AR globe: –

Globes are quite boring, aren’t they? Well, not this one, nope. Your kids won’t be bored with a globe where they can visualize a region in augmented reality. Furthermore, it comes with an app that provides more than 1000 regional facts. It offers fun and facts simultaneously, serving the twin purpose of entertainment and education. 

  • Harry Potter merch: –

Potterheads would have never forgiven us if we slipped up on this. So, here it is- some unique Harry Potter merch for your little ones. How about Hermione’s Time Turner Necklace for your little girl? Or a Hogwarts night-dress for your son? Better still, if your little one is a budding Potterhead, the best gift would be the MinaLima edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. 

  • Sports gear: –

If your children are in their early teens, it’s the perfect time to give them their favorite sports gear—a cricket bat, a rugby kit, or even a small goalpost to play football in your backyard. As a parent, this is the time to develop a friendly bond with your children. 

Moreover, teenagers tend to spend more time indoors playing video games for their entertainment. Prolonged use of which can have several negative effects, but with sports gear, they can enjoy playing outdoors. 

Checking out water ball gun online might be a gateway thing for their favorite pastime or maybe, a future profession. Like, they started with toy guns and next thing you know— they’re serving the country.

  • Polaroid camera: –

We all fondly remember our budding years, don’t we! Playing with friends, going on camping, and myriad other adventures and misadventures! A polaroid camera is a perfect gadget to capture this moment in perpetuity. While a mobile camera does the work, getting an instant snap surely has its charm. 

Moreover, this camera can be used to take clicks of memorable moments whenever you go to a kids party or any other. 

It might seem that buying gifts is very hard with so many toys readily available at stores and online sites. But, understanding your children’s bent of mind makes it easier. If your child is more interested in scientific stuff, a STEM toy will be a perfect choice. Whereas an artistic kid will prefer something like a painting set or a fantasy book like Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings. Moreover, buy gifts that foster curiosity rather than stifling it. We hope that you will find the perfect gift for your kids birthday from our lists.
