For most people, the choice of a gift for birthday parties, anniversaries and other holidays and celebrations is associated with painful reflections and doubts.

What not to give
Here is a list of gifts that are unlikely to impress the child, and sometimes even spoil his mood for the whole holiday:
- Notebooks, pens and other "school" goods.
- Cheap versions of gifts, which he asked for (toy phone instead of the present).
- Clothing.
- Toys that you dreamed of in your childhood (the fact that you grew up on turtle ninjas does not mean that today all children adore them).
- A typical annual gift (do not give the same thing for every holiday).

Choose a gift not for a "tick", but with a soul. In this case, you will almost certainly be able to choose exactly what you need, and your gift will bring joy to the child for a long time.
