These are great ideas! When it comes to gifts for kids especially at that age, personalised children’s books come to mind. Personalised books are fun and easy option for gift giving. You’ll create a unique story with their name, image, and other details, printed and bound like any other book. It’s a fun story and a keepsake they’ll treasure for many years to come. In case you're wondering, I got mine at personalisedchildrensbooks.com
