Christmas gift ideas to suit your kids’ personality

Each child is unique in their own way. You wouldn't get a baseball bat for your girly girl or sewing kit for a tom boy, right? Unless, of course, you want to introduce something new in their lives or try to reshape their personality. So, here is a gift idea guide to help you match the gift to the personality of your child and help you along with your Christmas shopping. Happy Shopping!

Before you hit the shops

Buying kids' presents is an all-important part of Christmas. Be it for your own little one or friend's or relation's kid; choosing the right gift can be fun but a tad bit daunting.

Do not stress - we are here to help! We suggest you first observe the kid in question. In the case of your own kid, you would know what they have been obsessing about.

If they are a friend's kid - Just ask the parents! Now just match their personality type to the types we've given here. Note that some kids will have combo personalities which are a combination of several category types listed below.
