Personalised and Original Children's Gifts

Giving a Gift to a Child: Carrot or Stick?

This may be an educational approach that Françoise Dolto would not have endorsed, but many of us promise a gift for our children if they follow instructions or bring home a good report card. Conversely, depriving them of something (dessert or a small reward, for example) can sometimes feel like a sword of Damocles… not to say a touch of emotional leverage. We may not always be proud of it as parents, but we have to admit that this little tactic often works surprisingly well. After all, we’re not talking about lavish presents here, but rather small rewards — because what children value most is recognition, achievement and surprise, often more than the gift itself. Amikado offers a wide selection of small, affordable gifts that are perfect for motivating or rewarding your son or daughter.

Personalised Gift Ideas for a Unique Child

Your little boy or girl is the apple of your eye. You want to spoil your child and would happily go to great lengths to make them smile. But be careful — excessive spending can be a double-edged sword: first, a child doesn’t need everything to be happy, and second, it doesn’t help instil healthy habits. We’re not here to offer parenting advice, of course. However, one thing is certain: the quality of the gift you give your child matters far more than the quantity, abundance or price.

Children are particularly sensitive to personalised gifts. It’s hard to compete with the ever-popular games console, of course. But once that inevitable child’s gift is out of the way, that’s where our personalised children’s gift ideas come into play. Your son or daughter will feel proud and genuinely touched to receive something made especially for them. This emotional connection often begins with a birth or christening gift. As they grow, children love heading off to school with a beautifully personalised pencil case or sports bag, rather than one hastily labelled with a marker pen. If they dislike anyone touching their towel, a personalised bath set is an ideal solution. If they’re a budding artist, a personalised drawing box makes a wonderful birthday gift. The same goes for our puzzles, breakfast trays, photo boards or personalised mugs featuring their photo, family, friends or even their favourite pet.

Surprise Your Family with a Unique Gift

Amikado offers gift ideas for every generation, every personality and every occasion. One of the strengths of our catalogue lies in its wide range of affordable products suitable for children, adults and seniors alike — gifts that are unique thanks to personalisation, yet appreciated by everyone. Take our personalised leather passport covers, for example: practical and elegant, they help protect important documents. Each family member can choose their own colour, creating a cohesive and stylish set for the whole family.

Another example of a child’s gift that appeals to all ages is the personalised candle with a name. At an accessible price point, it comes in a sleek black glass holder, with an engraving that stands out beautifully once lit. Personalised soaps are another small but thoughtful gift, loved by both children and adults. And of course, there’s the timeless personalised mug — perfect for bringing a smile to faces young and old at breakfast time. Photo, text or motif: among our many designs, you’ll find the perfect mug for a child’s hot chocolate… and for mum or dad’s morning coffee too.
