When you think of a gift for a baby, you always doubt whether or not you will like what is on your mind. The possibilities of choice are many, since today there are many products dedicated to babies and children, such as toys, blankets, baby cribs, etc.
The chances of getting it right are unknown, since there are children who are passionate about some toys and yet reject almost the second others.
It is for this reason, to avoid bad times seeing that a child rejects what you have bought with all your illusion, that I thought it would be appropriate to make a unofficial gift guide, with very high chances of success (you know, the water brush, the mobile phone, the keys, ...).
The water brush
I don't know how successful it is in your house, but mine is a classic. I have two children and both have been passionate about the water brush, the most ungrateful element of the house (what a hard job to be a water brush ...).
There are different models, of plastic, with the wooden handle, with metallic handle, of different colors and with different shapes. As we are talking about children, the ideal is that it is plastic and light, so they will handle it better. The typical water brush Blanca is a classic with which you will give a joy to any child over eight months.
It does not contain small parts, since the pack consists only of brush and base, usually of the same color and material.
If the child manages to wet it a little in the toilet you will be lucky to find it, in those moments when you think “it is very quiet, what will it be doing”, in full cleanliness, having left you walls, shower screen and exterior of the toilet completely wet . In case of not achieving water, it will probably be limited to "dry cleaning".
Cell phone
Another of the toys for babies and children that has practically assured success is the mobile phone. I know few parents who can say that their son has never caused the early death of any of his cell phones. In my case I have seen it stop working (the one that hurt me the most), a Nokia N80 I bought shortly after leaving whose screen stopped working after drowning by the slime of my son the elder (when it was not so much) and a couple of phones more less category.
The options when choosing a mobile phone for a child are endless. We can look for mobile phones with the usual keyboard or touchscreen phones, more expensive and perhaps larger for their handyman. Keep in mind that the latest models are more attractive than the usual models, since the music is higher definition, they reproduce cartoons and have better resolution and a greater number of colors on the screen. Ideally, let your touch a little and then buy according to your preferences.
The only "but" is that they are easily removable. It's not that they know how to open them with their fingers, it's that They know how to drop it so that the lid opens and the battery ends up flying through the air.
It is very important, almost vital, to give it to the child having made sure that he is not in the "silent mode". If not, it is likely to disappear and you cannot find it, by not emitting a ringtone.
House or car keys
This gift is no surprise, since everyone has used at some time of urgency house or car keys To distract a child.
Most are metallic, a fact that causes a beautiful “clinc-clinc” when colliding with each other, which is perfect to stimulate your baby's senses.
They are rigid and that is why you have to be aware that you do not hit them in an outburst of happiness but for this same reason they have the advantage of being unbreakable.
It is preferable that we buy new keys to reuse those we have at home, basically for a hygienic issue and it is advisable to be alert if we lend ours, since it is possible (and likely, by Murphy's Law), to find that The child is playing with something else without any trace of your keys.
DVD / Blu-ray player
I have specified DVD / Blu-ray because it is the most common in the furniture of the dining room, but it can be worth the tuner of Imagenio / Digital + / DTT, the amplifier, the stereo, the console and any electronic device that is within reach of the child.
For some time now, the furniture in the living room (or dining room) has been designed lower, with the double intention of leaving more free wall and not overloading the decoration with a lot of wood and offering children a perfect height to be able to, With about 9-11 months, reach all audiovisual devices.
It is for this reason that these devices are an element to consider. When choosing it, the color is indifferent, you can choose the one you want. It is essential that you have enough buttons and if they light up in any way when you press them, you will have found the perfect player. Is important to have a tray for DVDs, since it is one of the elements that you enjoy the most.
Personally I would not dismiss VHS players. It is easy to find some second-hand and, although they do not have a removable tray they have something as much or more fun, a large tab of the mailbox type by which you can put almost anything (some keys, a mobile, etc.).
Mop + bucket pack
He mop and bucket pack It is another toy for babies and children with a very high success rate. Children really enjoy long sticks and even more so if they end up in strange absorbent sheets that are usually wet to the touch.
The bucket is also an essential element, since, when it is full of water it can provide hours and hours of fun (which can reach almost the climax the more sleeves the child gets wet and the more untouchables there are in the water).
There is packs With very different colors. Maybe it would be important assess mop weight, since there are some that seem to have the second objective of strengthening the arms of those who employ them. It has the advantage of not having small parts, although if the mop is old, it can get rid of some “hair”.
It is preferable that someone is nearby when the child is playing with it, both because of this risk of baldness. fregonile, as because the end of the stick usually ends up touching various more or less fragile ornaments (well, in this case it may be interesting not to watch it too much, but this is already at the discretion of the caregiver).
