To become a godfather or godfather is not just to take part in a beautiful church rite, but to voluntarily take on a number of obligations that relate to the spiritual development of a godchild or goddaughter. It is believed that godparents should annually congratulate the godchildren on their birthday. And the gift should not only bring joy to the birthday man, but also contribute to his spiritual growth. Presents, of course, are chosen depending on the age of the children and their inclinations.
A gift for the little ones
On the first birthday of a child, a boy or girl, parents usually bring in items that are necessary to care for a one-year-old baby, and a variety of educational toys. Of course, this gift will be more intended to facilitate the work of parents. And the very day for the first birthday you can donate baby clothes - it's better that it is something practical, for example, winter overalls or boots.
Just a beautiful dress, which the girl will wear, most likely, only on this day, will not be the most useful gift. And you can also present the accessories necessary for daily childcare:
- bath or thermometer to measure the water temperature;
- teether;
- baby car seat or carrycot;
- playpen
Of course, the one-year-old child is already beginning to be interested in toys. Here we must first focus on the age of the baby.
It is mandatory when choosing a gift to pay attention to the safety of the toy.
How to please a girl 3-5 years old?
If you want to give a three-year-old girl a toy, then you should take into account that personal preferences are already formed at this age, so now you need to focus not only on the age qualification of a product, but also on the child’s desire. The most common and almost win-win option in this case is the doll. Prefer not Barbie dolls, which are popular with girls of older age, but large pups.
The games of the classic “daughters-mothers” give birth to the maternal instinct in the little girl, which will be very useful for her in the future.
Important! No need to give too expensive a doll, “to the teeth” stuffed with electronics, as children at this age love to taste everything. Therefore, no need to risk the health of the child - buy as simple as possible and durable sample.
And also in this time of life the child needs educational gameswhich include cubes (preferably with pictures or letters), the designer (without small and sharp details), musical instruments, books (preferably with strong cardboard pages), pyramids, drawing boards. In addition, toys aimed at developing creative abilities, which include finger toys (with their help, a girl can arrange whole home performances), a set of clay, compact sandboxes can be a great gift idea for a young dreamer.
Present to a preschool girl
On the fifth anniversary of the goddaughter is still appropriate to give a doll. But you can also give her a baby stroller, a dollhouse, a set for caring for a toy baby.
In addition, at this age, girls love to try on all sorts of professions, so for a birthday they can give, for example, set "Young Doctor" (cook, hairdresser, police officer and the like).
A great option for a girl 5-6 years old will be bike or scooter. If your goddaughter with her parents lives outside the city, then products for outdoor games will be an excellent gift for her: inflatable slides, cabins, tents, swimming pools and more. In general, any sports equipment, whether it be skipping rope, crossbar, sports wall or a board for swimming, will be very useful for a child at this age.
A small fashionista will be pleased to receive as a gift a handbag for personal items, a box for her “sekretik” or hairpins, a fashionable toy dog with clothes and the like.
With the permission of the parents, you can give the girl children's cosmetics, for example, hygienic lipstick with a pleasant smell, toilet water with a light sweet or floral scent, cream for baby skin, a beautiful comb or barrette, glitter for the face or hair, light children's blush, baby shampoo and more.
Do not be afraid of this gift inadvertently speeding up its gender development, because the earlier a girl learns to independently monitor her appearance, the more likely it is that she will learn to handle adulthood competently with cosmetics, avoiding “excesses”.
What to hand girl 8-12 years?
A very large number of girls at this age are asking their parents to give them a pet, so if mom and dad do not mind the goddaughter, then you can give her kitten, puppy, fish, parrot, ornamental hamster or guinea pig.
Important! When giving a pet, do not forget to purchase everything you need for its care: a tray, a bowl, food, a cage and more.
Sports gifts at this age do not lose relevance. If a girl visits any sports section, then you can give her some accessory or projectile, which would be useful to her during classes. For example, if a goddaughter goes to karate, you can give her a new kimono, and if she attends the gymnastics section, she will be pleased to receive a high-quality sports leotard. The same applies to other hobbies: the girl goes to the ballet - buy her pointe shoes or another necessary accessory; climbing circle - equipment; figure skating - skates and so on.
The goddaughter at that age can be served beautiful jewelry made of precious metalsFor example, a chain with a cross or a medallion with the image of its heavenly patron, bracelet, earrings. This gift will be not only valuable, but also memorable.
Since the duty of a godfather or godfather is not only in the child’s various care, but also in his religious upbringing, it is possible to give her a birthday girl on her birthday an illustrated children's bible, a children's prayer book, an icon depicting a saint whose name the girl wears.
What to teach young beauty 14-18 years?
Adolescence is a very interesting and at the same time difficult time to live. If 10 years ago, a child would have been delighted with any gift, and he was overwhelmed with a feeling of joy from novelty, then at this age it is difficult to please the girl. Therefore, in choosing a gift in this case, it is necessary to focus primarily on the interests of the girl.
A nice gift can be a beautiful edition of a book in your favorite birthday girl genre. She will also be delighted with a ticket to a concert of her favorite musical artist or group.
Pretty original gift goddaughter will be an LED lamp of interesting shape.
Will delight teenage girl and certificate for visiting the spa, photo shoots.
If your goddaughter has already decided on the choice of the school where she plans to study after school, then you can pay for training or preparatory courses.
