5th Birthday Invitations

3 Gift Ideas for Your Favorite 5-Year-Old

By the time a child reaches 5-years-old, they know about presents. Oh yeah, they fully understand that holidays mean gifts, and they love gifts. They love gifts like adults love sleep. Or maybe 5-year-olds love presents even more than adults love sleep; anything is possible. So when it comes time to treat your favorite little kid with a gift, you want it to be something they love. You want it to be something they will remember. You want them to play with it all the time. This can be daunting. No need to fear though, because the team at Shutterfly has compiled this list of the top three gift ideas for your sweet little friend. 

Gifts They Will Adore

A gift doesn’t need to be expensive to be appreciated. Especially when you are gifting for children, cost rarely comes into play. They can adore a toy from the dollar section as much as they can a toy from the electronics section. As long as you keep the gifts customized towards their individual interests, you’re sure to be a winner. Here are a few ideas.

• Personalize Everything

By five years of age, most kids can read and recognize their own name and love to see it in print. So plaster it everywhere for their admiration. Shutterfly can create tote bags, frames, blankets and more with a special engraving.

• DIY

Have you seen the crazy cool things you can make out of a cardboard box? Kids love boxes, and there’s nothing better than making them a spaceship, a car or a house out of a big one. Plus, your cost is minimal, although the time investment might be bigger.

• Themed Character Gifts

Most kindergarteners love a good Disney movie. Provide them with wall decals or a special pillowcase that showcases their favorite characters.

Enjoy celebrating your favorite kid! If you need any party planning help, check out everything Shutterfly has to offer. From 5^th birthday invitations to decorations, Shutterfly has you covered.
