Match the gift to their current interests but choose items that can grow with them — construction kits, beginner coding tools, or versatile sports gear offer long-term value.
Avoid overly babyish toys; seek slightly challenging activities that promote creativity and problem-solving. Gift cards for experiences or classes (coding, skate lessons) are great alternatives if you’re unsure of exact tastes.
