If you are wondering what the best gift to give to a boy or girl on their eighth birthday… here are some ideas!

Here, you will find the best gifts ideas for boys and girls who are turning 8 years old, but we already anticipate that, at this age in which the little ones begin to feel older, any object of common use can become their most special gift.

And beware! Because at this age, children begin to forge their character and personality, so they may think that many toys are for smaller children.

Surely you hit the nail on the head and make your child’s eyes sparkle and they will be surprised because they did not expect that detail that you are about to go into.

Time to read these ideas!

If your son or daughter is a lover of reading:

If there are gifts that never fail, those are books. They are a very special classic, since the author or genre does not matter, a book will always teach your son or daughter something, in addition to helping their culture, promoting memory, attention, language, etc.

So, if you are a lover of reading, get yourself a pack of mystery books, fantasy books, teenage novels, adventure books… it is a hobby that will make you transport yourself to another world for hours!

If they are a reserved boy or girl:

At this age, the child begins to want to have their own privacy and keep their secrets, therefore, giving them a diary or a safe will make them feel like they are grown up.

There are a lot of models, like secret journals with padlock, safes of all colours and materials, with their keys and secret keys, etc. With a lock, they can store their most precious treasures.

If their thing is technology:

If there is something that has become our day to day, it is technology, and for the little ones too, since they are very attracted to consoles and video games. These are great fun for them and also stimulate their motor skills, spatial orientation and synchronization of movements.

For this reason, you can give them any console such as the Playstation, the Wii, Xbox, Nintendo… with games like Super Mario, Minecraft, Rocket League, Zelda, Pokemon, etc. Of course, remember that video games must be used in their proper measure, avoiding those that involve violence, and taking into account the recommended minimum age.

If what they love is learning:

At this age, children are interested by doing experiments, discovering nature, planting plants, using logic… For one thing they are considered to be in the most curious stage and, therefore, more suitable for absorbing new knowledge. So…

There’s nothing like giving them strategy, word, matching and spelling games, as well as puzzles, science kits, a microscope, card or board games, magic tricks, kitchen games… Educative toys are great!

If they like new adventures:

Approaching something completely new is a gift that the child will always keep in their memory, and that is, what child does not love adrenaline and new experiences?

That is why instead of material gifts, you can also give your child an enriching experience, such as sailing lessons, skateboarding, skiing, a horse ride… A most special and different gift.

If your little one is very active and doesn’t like standing still:

Just as there are children who prefer sitting, there are also children who cannot sit still in a chair, who prefer to be up and down, moving and sweating without stopping, these are usually sports lovers.

For this reason, you can always give this boy or girl a bicycle, skates, ping pong rackets, a basketball with its basket, a hockey stick… just find out what their favourite sport is and you will be right!

If the child is somewhat conceited:

If you have to get a gift for a flirty boy or girl, who has always worn mom’s heels and dad’s ties, this paragraph will interest you:

Give them makeup, clothes, shoes, her first low heels, wigs, barbies and dolls to dress up, bow ties, ties, hats, hair brushes, colognes, bead kits to create bracelets and necklaces, jewellery boxes…

If the birthday boy or girl likes arts and crafts:

There are many children who love to sit for hours creating and drawing, so you can give them craft kits, such as:

Paint, markers, pencils, crayons and chalks accompanied by drawing pads, art paper and colouring books, watercolours… as well as beads, mosaics, leather goods, sewing kits… time will fly by while they create!

We are sure that with any of these gifts…. You will be right!
