Sports birthday
If your son or daughter is a football lover, have you thought about celebrating their birthday on a football field? With prizes included at the end! The cake can also be in the shape of a football, as well as all children can wear uniforms.
There are also other very fun varieties that don’t involve a specific sport but that will make children not stop moving, such as bowering, paintball, mini golf, laser guns, virtual reality goggles…they will not want the day to end!

And it’s a lot of fun! Because who doesn’t love to use rollers, mix ingredients, and put on a chef’s hat? The result is sure to be delicious!
Spy and Detective Party
One of the most multipurpose party options to carry out activities with children in the purest Sherlock Holmes style, such as looking for treasure, performing gymkhanas, putting on costumes, etc.

With a FunBox-style party, having a 12-year-old’s birthday at home can be a lot of fun, not only for friends, but also for adult guests.
Gift ideas for 12-year-old boys and girls:
When they reach 12 years old, the boy and girls are practically teenagers, so they are at that age in which they feel like they are the oldest. So, when looking for a gift we must take into account their tastes and hobbies so that they feel that this is the best gift they could receive.
One of the things that have no age limit are arts and crafts, etc. So, if they like to spend hours sitting, you can always give them paint, markers, pencils, crayons and chalk accompanied by drawing pads, art paper and colouring books, as well as beads, mosaics, leather goods, sewing kits…
If, on the contrary, they are more into outdoor games, something with which you’ll get it right is to give them objects such as a skateboard, a bike, the famous hoverboard, an electric scooter, darts, balls, baskets, goals, etc.
At this age, everyone is a lover of technological games and games consoles, so you can always surprise them with a drone, a tablet, a robot, a games console or a Polaroid camera.
Books are a classic, that’s why they never fail, so if they are a lover of reading, get them a pack of mystery, fantasy, teen novels, adventure books…it is a hobby that will transport them to another world for hours.
Board games don’t fail either, since they can spend time with friends or family, they will surely love to play monopoly, trivia, some puzzles or immerse themselves in an escape room!
How many times have we worn Mum’s heels or Dad’s tie? At this age, teenagers already want to start showing off, so giving them clothes or accessories will make them feel exclusive for their age.
Remember also that, instead of a toy, you can also give a unique experience, such as sailing lessons, a balloon ride, skiing, a horse ride…Approaching something completely new is a gift that the child will always keep in their memory for being so special and different.
We already know that the situation of the pandemic does not facilitate the work of organising your child’s birthday, but, if we still cannot go to a unique venue such as a farm or a bowling alley, there are many options to celebrate the birthday at home, inviting only the closest family and friends.
