What to give the boy for 5 years?

Choosing a birthday present has never been an easy task. If the birthday is also small, then the task is doubly complicated - the child’s disappointment, like joy, is twice as strong. If the hero of the occasion is a boy, and he is already five years old, then the situation is a little simpler, because he already has his own preferences and is able to say them out loud. But sometimes he has literally everything, and sometimes his dreams are too far from reality, so the question of what to give the boy for 5 years remains open.

Choosing a gift to anyone, you should always start from the person who is the birthday man. A five-year-old child is already a personality, he can share some preferences of the majority, but at the same time it is significantly different from his peers, so the option “everyone would like it” may not work. Even without asking direct questions, find out how the boy lives - this is evident from his behavior, heard from his words, and so on.

Yet it is impossible to move away from the features of development.

It should be remembered that at the age of five, many boys do not just understand their difference from girls, but are already accustomed to considering shameful resemblance to the opposite sex (whatever it is), so avoid gifts with dubious “gender”. In addition, kids right now are actively developing both physically and mentally, so they are interested in a wide range of things: from books with vivid pictures and educational games to themed sets and sporting goods.

As you know, a classic gift to any boy is a machine. In five years, cartoons and children’s cars are no longer worth giving — choose models that are more like real cars. If there is also a remote control there, it is generally perfect. Other types of transport are also successful - any aircraft and ships. The railway is generally a universal gift, regardless of the age of the man.

The time of children's electric cars, which you can ride, has already passed. Now is the time for transport, which you manage yourself, without the help of parents, and this is a bicycle, a scooter, or even skates. A real football is no longer superfluous - especially if dad managed to teach his son to sport number one.

However, the most classic children's gift appeared long before all that was mentioned above. It may be a little more expensive than other gifts, its maintenance requires some money, and such a gift will be an additional concern for parents, but many children dream about it almost more than everything else combined. This, of course, about a puppy or kitten.

Of course, everyone has their own ideas about originality, so the list below presents, if not the most unique, but relatively unusual gifts that a five-year-old boy might like. So, if your baby already has everything, give him:

• Children's tablet. An interesting thing, designed specifically for small children - there are interesting development programs, and even the system is optimized so that it never hangs.In parallel, the child learns about modern technologies, which, incidentally, at the same time contains a risk.
• Board game without chips. In an age when everyone plays on gadgets, any boy from the past century — for example, table football or hockey — can evoke a big interest in a kid. A gift is as good as it is risky - it is not so little, but it can easily lose to its more popular electronic "colleagues."
• Cottage tent. Dreams of adventures and dangers - the daily routine of any five year old boy. Naturally, no one will send him to a distant expedition, but it is much more interesting to dream about such a thing in a tent, one cannot but agree with that.

Another gorgeous gift for a child, who has all the material already, can be an emotion. Many people always remember some bright day from their childhood - so organize just such a holiday in the life of your child. To be honest, of the presented options, the majority is too banal and not very interesting for many children, so organize a holiday, starting from what the kid has not seen. So take him to one of these places:

• amusement park;
• circus;
• dolphinarium;
• aquapark.

Invite the artists and organize a fascinating birthday right at home with the child - according to your own script, one way or another corresponding to the interests and dreams of the birthday man.

The best guest at the birthday party is a favorite superhero who personally complained to congratulate the boy. A good clown or a magician will also have to be very handy, and in the largest cities you can even invite a life-size puppet theater to your house. In the end, even a diligently organized bubble show is an exciting spectacle.

There are gifts that do not seem to refer to the eternal classics, and yet they are excellent as a solution for all occasions.

The very first thing that comes to mind is a book. This can be given to anyone and in any situation, you just need to understand who you are giving and why. A kid of five is still interested in fairy tales, at the same time he is open to learning very real facts about the world around him. Make sure that the book has a lot of pictures (regardless of its content) - then you also contribute to a more rapid learning to read.

They allow you to easily spend time, perhaps learn something new, train mindfulness, and most importantly - this is a good reason to invite friends to visit.

Finally, the boy is unlikely to give up a good designer. It can be like the already-classic LEGO, and in a typically boyish form - a ship, military equipment, cars, palaces, and so on, and other options for developing toys.

There is always a risk that the birthday man suddenly criticizes a gift that seemed ideal, but there are also such presents that are doomed to failure. Here is a short list of them:

• Clothes and shoes. Remember yourself - you at that age could hardly be happy with such presents. Today is a holiday, the child is waiting for a miracle, and you give him something that you would have bought on a normal day. And do not even try to prove that this is an expensive, fashionable and practical thing.
• Toy copy, when asked for the present. The most striking example of our day is mobile phones. Now a child in five years already sees the difference between a real phone and a toy, and he asks, believe me, a real one. And he doesn’t care about his own security, so he won’t appreciate an inexpensive dialer with buttons. The kid does not want to call, but to play.
• School supplies. A very bad gift, especially on the fifth birthday. The arguments are the same as for clothes with shoes.
• What you dreamed in your five years. Gentlemen and ladies, the world has changed a lot, and the boys no longer dream of becoming cosmonauts by themselves, and Superman is no longer an authority for them. When choosing a gift, follow the modern realities, and do not look at the past.
