Is your child staying away from you? Surprise him with a gift- 2

In my previous blog post we discussed that how important it is to send a token of love once in a while, if your child is studying away at a boarding school in india. Though, zeroing down on the right gift is a bit difficult. You need to consider a lot of factors, but primarily your child’s age and preference. Read on for some cool ideas.

Stationary- If your child has a particular nag for art or calligraphy then a set of required gears can be a nice gift or even otherwise you can always present him with some nice stationary items that are an integral part of school life. A vintage pen from Dad can make an occasion like prom night or board exams stand out in memory lane.

Books- It is in middle school that most children fall in love with the world of books. He can even get bitten by the writing bug, like I was, when I used to study at international school india. It is the sweetest bite that will enhance the personality of your kid in long run, so make sure you make your due contribution. Gifting some good classic literature or any genre of your kid’s choice is a great idea. If he has just begun reading then I would suggest something of Agatha Christie would be perfect.

Customized Gifts- Customized gift items can be an excellent gift to make your child feel special. Photo mugs, t-shirts or pillows can be an excellent gift to make him feel connected to the family. You can also gift him stuff with inspirational quotes. I got a t-shirt with me and my brother’s handprints on it with our initials under it, which I have preserved till date.

Family photo- This can be an excellent gift to beat those nostalgic moments, while he stays away from you at a boarding school in India.

Cool Clothes- All children like to show off amongst their friends. Give your kid a chance to do that with new cloths whenever you feel it is necessary.

Gift Vouchers- At least once in a year you can spoil your child by giving him the liberty to purchase whatsoever he wishes, obviously under your supervision and within a restricted budget. Congratulate him if he makes a good choice, or incase if you don’t like what he bought you can suggest him how he could have made a better use of the assigned money. This will teach him to make the best use of available finances, securing value for money deals and to make a worthy choice even when temptations are open to make a bad one.


So, I hope you could choose a gift from this piece, or at least it was able to give wings to your imagination.
