Personalised and Original Children's Gifts

Giving a Gift to a Child: The Carrot or the Stick?

This may be an educational approach that Françoise Dolto would not have endorsed, but many of us promise a gift to our children if they follow our instructions or bring home a good report card. Conversely, depriving them (of dessert or a gift, for example) plays the role of a sword of Damocles… not to say… a little bit of blackmail. Well, we may not always be proud of it as parents, but we must admit that this little trick works rather well. After all, we are not talking about big gifts here, but rather small rewards, because we know that what children adore most is gratification, achievement, and surprise more than the gift itself. Amikado offers a wide choice of small, affordable gifts perfect for motivating or rewarding your son or daughter, delivered to your home in less than 24 hours if you choose express delivery.

Personalised Gift Ideas for a Unique Child

Your little girl or boy is the apple of your eye… you want to shower your child with gifts and are ready to spare no expense to make them happy. Be careful, however, as spending excessively is a double mistake: firstly, your child doesn’t need everything to be happy… and secondly, it is not constructive to instil bad habits. Of course, we do not claim to offer parenting advice here. But the wise advice we can offer is this: the quality of the gift you give your child is more important than the quantity, abundance, or even the price.

Children are particularly sensitive to personalised gifts. It is certainly hard to avoid the ever-popular games console. But once this "must-have" child’s gift is "taken care of", that’s where our personalised children's gift ideas come in. Your son or daughter will indeed be very proud and touched to receive a present made just for them. Their connection with personalised gifts begins with a birth gift or a christening gift. From a young age, they will be happy to go to school with a beautiful personalised pencil case or a personalised sports bag, rather than having their name roughly scribbled on it with a marker. If they don't like anyone touching their towel, offer them a lovely personalised bath set. If they are a budding artist, a personalised drawing box would be perfect — a great birthday gift for a child, for example. The same goes for our puzzles, breakfast trays, photo boards, or personalised mugs featuring their photo, their family, friends, or even their pet.

Surprise Your Family with a Unique Gift

Amikado offers gift ideas for every generation, every profile, and every occasion. One of the strengths of our catalogue is also that it includes very affordable products suitable for children, adults, and seniors alike: gifts that are unique because they are individually personalised, yet appreciated by everyone. For example, our personalised leather passport covers are practical and elegant gifts to protect identity documents. Each family member can have their own colour, creating a harmonious set when all these document holders are gathered together.

Another example of a child’s gift that also appeals to everyone: a personalised candle with a name. For a very reasonable price, offer your loved ones a candle in a black glass holder, with an engraving that stands out beautifully when the candle is lit. Personalised soaps are also small gifts that will delight both children and adults. And who could forget the timeless personalised mug, perfect for bringing joy to young and old alike at the next breakfast? Photo, text and/or motifs — you’ll find in our wide selection of designs the ideal cup for each child’s hot chocolate, and for their mum or dad too.
