With all of the gadgets that kids love these days it is only natural that it can seem that they have everything that they could ever want. In fact, it isn't rare for a kid to respond when asked about what gift they would like that they just want a gift card for their favorite gaming system or store to add to their collection of games or accessories. While they would likely enjoy these types of gifts, the reality is that they really don't need it nor will it be something that makes them think of how much you care for them. Fortunately, there are a number of gifts out there that you can give that will make a lasting impression with children.

One gift that can be very meaningful to a child is a personalized bed set. While this may seem like a mundane gift, it is something that they can use every day. By choosing something that reflects their interests and is monogrammed with their name or initials, you can be sure that it will remind them of how special they are to you. Even kids have the propensity to understand that extra thought has gone into a gift. The best part of this is that they will find comfort in it each night when they lay down their head to rest.

You can put another spin on a bedding set and give them one that is personalized with photos of their loved ones. Of course you will want to include a few that show the two of you having a good time together, but you can incorporate a number of other photos as well. This is a great reminder to a child every time that they see it that they are loved and special to you. Even after they outgrow the bedspread, they are sure to keep it as something to remember their youth by.

A great gift idea that keeps on giving is a subscription box. With all of the technology out there kids spend far more time than they should staring at a screen, whether it is playing video games or watching videos on their tablets. By thinking of things that you know the child does enjoy doing outside of screen time you can inspire them to learn and be more active. There are countless options when it comes to the subscription boxes for kids on the market. You can choose from science projects, building activities, woodworking and so much more. Not only are you giving something that will help the child to learn and grow, but they will know that they mean something to you each time a new box arrives. Additionally, you may just help that child to learn that they have a passion for something they had never considered before. 

Other great gifts that can be meaningful for a child are those that can be used for many years to come. Some things that can hold up to the test of time and encourage a child to explore the world around them can include telescopes, binoculars and even radar detectors. Not only will these encourage the child to develop an interest in the world, but they can be a great way to make memories. A night in the backyard looking at the stars can quickly become a family past time. The key is to be creative and consider what will help to spark their imagination.

A final gift option that can show your love for a child is to give them something that you can do together. This can be a wide range of gifts. For example, if the child enjoys participating in sports, you can give them a gift that enables them to grow their athletic talents while you spend time together. Another great way to choose a gift that encourages spending quality time together is a new and interesting game that they might not know about. Purchasing a gift that creates an experience can help to achieve this goal as well. It could be a trip to a new amusement park they have never been to or a sporting event that they never considered that they might get to attend. One of the best ways to show a child that you care is to spend time with them. They may fight being torn away from their games, but the reality is that they will truly appreciate being the center of your attention.

The most important thing is that you put thought into the gift. Kids are used to gifts that give them immediate gratification. By giving a meaningful gift, however, you are showing the child that you truly care about them. They will understand that you put thought into the gift and even if they don't seem particularly excited about the gift at the time, it is almost assured that they will grow to appreciate it over time.
