The best present is the one that shows someone has thought of this particular child.
1. A book where the child is the hero
With the child's name, looks and interests in the story. It needs a photo and the parents' permission. Read more about books as a party present.
2. An adventure to do together
A ticket to the swimming pool, the zoo or a day out with you – an experience instead of a thing.
3. A colouring book with the child's own pictures
The pictures from the child's book as colouring pages: the child colours in their own adventures.
4. A calendar with the child's pictures
Twelve months to look forward to, and a present that is on the wall all year.
5. A letter to keep
Write a short letter to the child about what you wish for the year ahead. Put it in the parcel, or let it be the foreword in the book.
