There are millions of options when it comes to what to get your child for New Year's 2020. While adults are content with shower gel or the next gadget, children will spend weeks thinking about what they would like to receive for New Year's Eve 2020 of the year. It doesn’t matter how old they are - 3, 10 or even 15, they still have hope for a miracle - a real New Year’s gift from Santa Claus.
New Year is a chance to be a wizard for your child, to give him the opportunity to believe in magic. Finding the perfect gift can be a real challenge, given the incredible amount of toys and children's products that can be found on store shelves. We present to your attention a guide to choosing the best gifts for girls and boys for the coming New Year 2020.
A child can be very picky and will never hide the truth. If he doesn't like something, you'll definitely know, so finding a gift that won't cost as much as an airplane wing and will hold his interest for a long time can be challenging. Don't panic if the girl's New Year's wish list includes not toys, but live unicorns, and the boy's list includes real space rockets.
There are a few secrets to help you choose a gift that will make him jump for joy:
The period from the birth of a child to three years is a period of rapid development when every month matters, so it makes sense to break this time into shorter periods.
In the first months of life, your baby will be attracted to contrasting patterns, bright colors, soft music and slowly moving objects that make soft, pleasant sounds. In the future, he will begin to enjoy the ability to control his hands, grasping and manipulating toys. It is important that they are all safe for chewing and do not have long ropes or rings that can put pressure on the neck, as the baby actively turns over and spins, exploring the world.
The following gifts are suitable for a six-month-old child:
As a rule, by 9–10 months the child is able to make his way around the room by crawling or even walking, holding on to the furniture. He uses objects as tools, pushing a ball with a stick or spreading porridge on a plate with a toy. He is also interested in interactive and pretend toys. Boys and girls begin to understand words and recognize the names of familiar objects. He puts everything in his mouth, so toys should be safe and easy to clean.
A gift for such a child could be:
As a rule, the child walks well and even climbs stairs. He listens to fairy tales, speaks his first words and loves to experiment. You can give a boy or girl:
The child quickly learns language and acquires a sense of danger. Nevertheless, he constantly tests himself and the world for strength: he jumps from a height, climbs onto a cabinet, hangs from his arms. He has good hand and finger control and enjoys manipulating small objects.
A three-year-old child can be given:
The Lego Duplo series is a “baby” version of the well-known designers. The Count and Play set contains a train with three carriages, ten pieces with numbers from 1 to 10, figures of a man and his dog, and several additional elements. All parts of the toy are large and bright, so from the age of one year your child will be happy to assemble them.
A boy or a girl’s favorite pastime is banging on different objects, but does he prefer listening to music to all entertainment? Perhaps this is a growing genius musician and from the age of 9 months (the age category of the toy according to the manufacturer’s labeling) he will have his own mini-orchestra - piano, drum and maracas, xylophone, harp, saxophone and accordion. The child will also be able to listen to one of ten built-in melodies or animal voices.
The gift is intended for boys and girls who are already six months old. A comfortable inflatable chair reliably protects against falls, and a side table with built-in toys entertains and develops. A flower with a rattle, a bee, a spinning cylinder, and massage sticks will keep the child occupied for a long time, and his mother will be given precious free time.
Despite its small size (about 0.5 square meters), this Russian-made toy can do a lot: sing a song, name numbers, colors and animals - characters from the cartoon of the same name, introduce boys and girls to the sounds they make. Naturally, all this after clicking on the right places. Unlike many Chinese-made analogues, the gift is made of very high quality - modern safe materials, bright colors, clear sounds, volume control.
A play tent is a universal toy that boys and girls will enjoy regardless of age and interests. What could be better than such a gift? Only a set of two tents and a tunnel between them! The materials used (water-repellent polyester, steel spring tape, Velcro at the entrance) allow them to be installed indoors and outdoors.
A multi-colored dog with wheels on its paws runs away from a child after a hand slap on the body, while barking to funny music. The dog's body is made in the shape of an accordion; if you bend it, Fred will go in a circle. The toy is very strong and can withstand strong impacts. Actually, the main purpose of the gift is to stimulate the activity of a boy or girl so that they learn to crawl and walk faster.
Few parents can remain calm for long when a child starts banging a spoon on the table or pan. With the help of such a gift, the activity can be made much less annoying. Each hit on the large drumstick toy, specially adapted for small hands, is accompanied by flashing lights and switching songs (music mode) or the names of numbers from one to ten (learning mode).
The main feature that distinguishes this toy from its analogues is its design, which resembles a regular smartphone. No pink or blue panels, funny pictures or extraneous buttons. Girls and boys at the age of 2 perfectly understand the difference between a real and a toy smartphone, and in this gift the differences will not be so great. There are 16 icons on the touch screen, each with 1-2 of its own sounds. The toy is light and durable, the sound is quiet enough for a child to listen to it by putting it to his ear.
For a relatively low price, you will receive a multifunctional gift - a table with an armchair, a construction set and a sorter (17 separate parts), as a bonus - two horns and rotating parts wherever there is free space. This set will captivate the child for a long time, and parents do not have to worry about safety - a strap is attached to the ergonomically shaped seat.
The Mega Bloks company is known primarily for its sets for kids - reliable, safe and colorful toys. This cute plastic caterpillar combines three functions - a construction set, a sound toy and a ride. When the child pulls her forward, she sings a funny song, and you can put a bumblebee or additional blocks that come in the kit on her back.
Another interesting gift option from the Canadian brand Mega blocks is a rolling trolley for collecting construction set parts. The front wheel itself collects elements if you run over them - this makes cleaning a child’s room an exciting game. The handle, in addition to its direct function, performs another one - when folded, it can be used as a basis for constructing structures, and the cart holds not only the 20 parts that come in the set, but also any other toys.
For boys who have not yet turned three years old, you can choose many interesting gifts.
The first car of a little man, in which almost everything has been thought out - a stylish design (almost a real jeep!), removable parent handle and side steps, rollover stops, a horn on the steering wheel and high-quality plastic. This toy can be used from the age of 10 months as a walker, then as a street vehicle instead of a stroller for a one and a half year old child, and for older children to move independently.
Boys love to receive cars as gifts, but they especially respect construction equipment. A large excavator allows the boy to feel like a real builder. The toy includes all the basic functions of a regular wheelchair (trunk, steering wheel, comfortable seat, stable wheels), complemented by a movable bucket large enough to collect parts of a branded construction set, and sound effects corresponding to the operation of a real excavator.
Toys that imitate construction equipment are a classic gift; boys' interest in them will not be lost until humanity invents new ways of construction. All elements of the crane move in a similar way to the real thing - it has a lifting mechanism, and the boom rotates around its axis. As a bonus, the toy comes with a car with a driver and a non-removable load.
“Dad, let me steer!” - you won’t hear this request from the boy for a long time, since this toy combines everything that is in a real car - a rotating steering wheel with a signal, a dashboard with lights and sounds, an ignition key and a gear shift . The device is light enough (1.5 kg) to take it into the car and drive parallel to your dad.
The list of gifts for girls at this age is no less diverse.
With this gift, your little helper will feel like a full-fledged owner of her own kitchen. The set contains everything you need - sink, stove, oven, game table, dishes, toaster. The peculiarity of this toy is that, despite all its functionality, it is completely safe, since it does not contain sharp corners or small parts and is made from high-quality plastic.
The doll evokes sympathy at first sight, as the manufacturers managed to create extremely pleasant and natural facial features. The toy is perfect for role-playing games for girls, as it can do a lot: it closes its eyes when lying down, has movable body parts, can change its costume, but most importantly, it cries, laughs and sucks a pacifier like a real child.
An ideal gift for a two year old, especially if the girl has a brother, sister or close friend! The set contains 20 items that are at the checkout of any supermarket, from scales and a scanner to groceries and a card. The toy's spacious trolley can withstand quite a lot of weight, as it is made of high-quality plastic.
With this set, a girl can throw real dinner parties followed by tea. The toy contains all the cutlery - plates, spoons, forks, cups and saucers, pots, a slotted spoon and a large knife, fork, spoon, teapot, sugar bowl, drainer and even detergent.
A surprisingly cute gift for a little princess. Among the additional functions of the toy is musical accompaniment while riding. The mattress and horse are removable, and the wooden runners are designed so that the carriage will not tip over even if the girl actively rocks.
A preschooler or kindergartener is able to hold his attention on toys much longer than a toddler. As a rule, he talks a lot and constantly asks questions. Girls and boys of this age love to experiment with things and with emerging physical skills. He loves to play with friends, but does not like to lose, knows how to share toys and enjoys being creative. One of the main developmental tasks is preparing for school.
Gifts for a child of this age:
Kinetic sand has been in demand on the Russian market for the fourth year in a row, but in the coming 2020, such a gift will not lose its popularity. Thanks to the safe polymer E900 (silicone oil), ordinary purified sand becomes a plastic mass with amazing properties. It slowly flows from hand to hand, retains any shape and does not crumble, so the child can use the toy at home.
Due to sodium polyacrylate - an adsorbent that can absorb an amount of liquid 300 times its weight, as well as flavors and dyes, the powder turns bath water into a colored fragrant gel. The reverse process is started by the neutralizing powder from the kit. You can argue for a long time about the safety of the composition for a child, but this gift will definitely bring fun.
The basis of the toy is durable colored plastic diamonds, squares and triangles, inside of which there are powerful magnets. The objects boys and girls create are limited only by his imagination and the amount of detail. The Magformers company also produces themed toys, for example, kits for building a castle or a car. The Russian analogue, cheaper, but no less high quality and exciting for a child, is Magnikon.
The publishing house "MYTH" works under the motto "maximally useful books", which perfectly suits the children's literature they publish. Bright, high-quality, unusual illustrations on the pages, fairy tales and stories that you definitely want to listen to and then play them with friends, educational books for young zoologists, botanists, geologists - all this is created with such high quality and with soul that such a gift will certainly distract girls and boys from the computer and TV.
The following books from the publisher are suitable for New Year's gifts: “Winter Stories”, “Paper New Year”, Advent Calendar “How Santa Claus was looking for a hat”.
A light, convenient easel with a height of 120 cm is a real gift for parents whose child does not need a standard sketchbook to create landscapes or portraits. The toy is made in the characteristic Ikea style - simple, reliable and functional. On one side of the board a girl or boy can draw with chalk, on the other with special water markers; these accessories must be purchased separately.
Many of us, adults, remember how interesting it was to play with thistles as children - to sculpt figures and hang them on clothes. Bunchens are bright and multi-colored polymer burdock balls that are connected to each other using small hooks. The set contains additional accessories (eyes, mustache, wings).
Play-Doh is more than just plasticine. It was created taking into account all the possible wishes of boys, girls and their parents - it is very soft, plastic, smells good, is easy to clean from hands and furniture, contains only safe ingredients, has an impressive range of colors (for example, the MEGA set has 36 jars of different shades ). One of dozens of themed sets made of plasticine and various tools is perfect as a gift.
The Italian brand Quercetti has improved the classic toy, familiar to everyone since childhood. Using a set of plastic round pixels of different sizes and colors, a child can create the most similar images of animals and plants or abstractions suggested by the imagination.
This is the age of information technology and from an early age children begin to dream of a computer, but not all parents are ready to hand over their own equipment to their child to be torn to pieces. This toy is an excellent replacement for a real laptop with all the necessary educational and entertainment functions. With the help of such a gift, at the age of 5 you can start learning letters, words, numbers, notes, English, and then test your acquired knowledge by completing tasks. The laptop has 10 melodies and simple games. The only drawback of the toy is the small monochrome display, but it copes with its tasks quite well.
A gift for little artists whose creative self-expression is not enough with a regular sketchbook. In such cases, the furniture, walls and doors of the apartment are usually painted. The toy is a large paper house (its height is just over a meter) with outlines on the walls; boys and girls can use it as a large coloring book, tent or theater stage.
The educational tablet for children supports high-speed 3G Internet. Thanks to this, you can use it not only at home, but also while traveling.
The list of gifts for boys in this age category is varied.
When playing “war games”, any stick can replace a boy’s weapon, but with such a gift the game becomes much more interesting. This is a realistic rifle that shoots hydraulic bullets and suction cup arrows, with a stated firing range of 27 meters. The safety of the toy is top notch - hydro-pulls are not capable of causing damage, as they consist of water placed in an easily crumbling polymer. Recommended gift age: 6 years and older.
This gift contains as many as seven toys: a fighter plane, five cars of different types and purposes, and a large robot, which is obtained if you combine all this equipment. The boy can use the set as a construction set or use it in role-playing games. The peculiarity of the cars is that they can completely change the appearance by simple manipulations with the body part.
The toy is a detailed mini-model of a real German Steyr tractor. Actually, there are only two differences - dimensions (scale 1:16) and material (reinforced plastic). The boy can open the doors, hood and control the wheels using an additional steering wheel.
The light version of Dad's tool kit includes a workbench, a helmet and everything needed for repairs, including fasteners. The toy, made of bright, lightweight plastic, is fully working and functional - the boy can clamp the part in a vice, hammer nails and bolts into special holes on the tabletop, and after work place the tools in the holders.
The buildable toy, approximately 60 cm tall, recreates a parking lot with all the accompanying elements, including an elevator, car wash, service station and sticker signs. The car can slide down the winding road to the lower level on its own. The set is intended for a boy from three years old, but will attract attention right up to adolescence.
The set contains 21 parts, with which the boy can assemble more than three dozen simplified but working versions of electronic devices, such as a radio, power amplifier, light and music and many others. The attached diagrams are not just assembly instructions, but educational material with explanations of the laws of physics and tasks. A four-year-old child is unlikely to be interested in a gift, but closer to the age of seven, with his father’s help, the boy will assemble simple devices.

Elegant furniture for dolls, whose height does not exceed 28 cm, can become not just a toy, but a real decoration for a girl’s room.

Review of New Year's gifts for boys of this age category.

It’s easy to choose a great New Year’s gift for a girl 8-11 years old.
Like any Barbie doll, this toy is very cute and comes with an impressive set of additional accessories. The “trick” of the gift is long soft hair, on which the girl can create any hairstyle using a braiding tool, jewelry and a small comb.
Not all parents are ready to entrust real knitting needles to a ten-year-old child, and it’s not easy for a girl to handle them.

With the help of such a gift, a girl will be able to knit simple but necessary things - a scarf, a phone case, a blouse for a dog or a doll.
Surely, at the age of 8, the girl already had her first jewelry made from rubber bands and beads, and she needs a special place to store them. When you open the box, the little ballerina spins to the music from “Swan Lake”; the toy’s many compartments allow you to sort the “jewels” so that they don’t get confused or lost.
Natural essential oils, special vessels and tools will allow the girl to create a unique scent by mixing several of the 50 scents presented in the set. With this gift you can make regular perfume, eau de toilette or wax-based solid perfume.
Perhaps no toy causes as much controversy as the flirty monster girls of the Monster High series. But while psychologists doubt the wisdom of such a gift, and parents are surprised by the inflated price and “flashy” colors, girls look with admiration at the spectacular, unusual, thoughtful and high-quality dolls that have replaced the once popular Barbie.
The range of interests of a teenage child can be quite wide, but the problem is that he can be quite secretive and you may not always know about his hobbies. He is on the threshold of adulthood and requires an appropriate attitude. A girl cares about her appearance, a boy dreams of the next cool gadget or fashionable clothes, but they have one thing in common - they want to be unique. The gift should be the same - rare or one of a kind, with its own secrets, known only to the owner. Many teenagers are involved in sports or dancing, so the gift may be related to them.
Possible options:
You can buy gifts that will suit both boys and girls.
The three main advantages of the model are sound quality, battery life (up to 11 hours of talk time) and stylish design. Many people prefer phones to MP-3 players, so the gift will come in handy for an active child who can listen to music all day long.
There is something magical about this gift, although the magic is caused by physics - there is an inert gas inside the sphere. Lightning inside the plasma ball is in constant motion; if a child touches the surface with his finger, one will rush towards him. A toy without any special meaning, but beautiful and attractive.
In the world of information technology, computer equipment is what children most often ask for as a New Year's gift. A tablet from Samsung is a gift with an excellent price-quality ratio. According to tests, this is one of the most durable devices among analogues, which is a very important quality for a gadget intended for active girls and boys.
The gift is the latest version of the popular fitness bracelet from Xiaomi. It records data on distance and number of steps, calculates calories burned, shows the child’s heart rate, monitors sleep, and also notifies about calls and functions as an alarm clock. The gadget works in tandem with a special program for a smartphone, communicating with it via Bluetooth.
The gift allows you to convert the image on the screen of a regular smartphone into 3D and 360 video formats. With the help of glasses, the child can also play full-fledged mobile games in virtual reality mode using a joystick (it comes included). VR BOX 2 is an inexpensive model with all the basic functions, one of the most popular in this price segment.
Review of New Year's gifts for teenage boys.
The gift simply shows the times, which in our age of multifunctional devices is already a rarity, but how do they do it! At first glance, this is a stylish bracelet, but after the boy presses a secret button, numbers are displayed directly on its surface - a binary code, which, using simple instructions, must be converted into hours and minutes.
The Syma X3 model is an excellent option for a child. This simple, no-frills quadcopter is one of the most reliable and safe due to its built-in propeller protection. The innovative balancing system accurately centers it, and the ability to fly in any direction and the large range of the remote control will make the boy feel like an ace after the first flight of the toy.
By hoverbeard, most people mean a hoverboard, which consists of a platform, wheels, an electric motor and a gyroscope to maintain balance. The most popular brand is Smart Balance; the price for such a “toy” starts from 10 thousand Russian rubles. It is important to know that a boy can only ride a gyroscope on a good road.
It differs from a conventional camera in its lightness, compactness, durability and functionality. The purpose of the gift is photography in extreme conditions. GoPro cameras are considered the most famous and high-quality representatives of this type of device on the market, but they have a significant drawback - price. If your budget for New Year's gifts is limited, then you should take a closer look at Chinese action camera models, for example, SJCAM SJ4000 or Xiaomi YI.
Review of New Year's gifts for teenage girls.
Girls want to be beautiful, but they often doubt their appearance and spend a long time looking for flaws in front of the mirror. A gift of several professionally taken photographs will help your child raise her self-esteem, where she will look like the beautiful model from the cover of the magazine.
A girl’s young skin needs cleansing, removal of dead cells and normalization of sebum secretion, but when choosing a gift, you need to pay attention to the composition. The Russian brand Greenmama offers a large selection of sets for both normal and problem skin from natural and hypoallergenic ingredients.
A girl will love an “adult” gift made of precious metal. Each piece of jewelry keeps its own secret - a rune that protects the owner. The child will be happy to tell his friends about the meaning of the amulet, and the protection (even if mythical) will give him confidence.
There are many toys that can be given to both a one-year-old child and a schoolchild, and some gifts will delight even adults. They can be given even without a reason, since some of them belong to the “must-have” category:
Finally, it’s impossible to think of a more universal gift than money or a store gift card for purchasing toys. There is no New Year's magic in this, but it is the most practical option.
Simply handing a toy to a child is the simplest and therefore tempting way. However, this action can be used to create a whole performance and create a festive mood for the whole family.
How to give a child a gift for the New Year 2020 in non-standard ways:
The New Year is a time of waiting for miracles, but if we adults are completely satisfied with the present on duty, then boys and girls will hope for their dreams to come true. For kids it could be a toy, for a teenager it could be a ticket to a concert of their favorite performer. In any case, it is difficult to deceive a child, and if you choose a gift not from the heart, according to the principle “it will do,” he will certainly feel it, even if you guess his wish.
I like!
New Year is the only holiday on which we expect the fulfillment of our most cherished desires. Everyone, adults and children, before December 31, thinks about what they would like to receive as a gift. And some even write letters to Santa Claus. But sometimes you don’t know what you can ask for for the New Year, since all the wishes seem important. In general, ordering gifts is not interesting; it is better to receive a surprise. But in some cases, it is more practical to choose a specific item so that the chance does not go to waste.
Recently, it has become fashionable to order gifts. Many people make lists in advance and don’t hesitate to give them to friends and acquaintances. Of course, when we were children, we wrote letters to Santa Claus and asked him to bring a doll or a radio-controlled car. With age, apparently, the habit remained. Only it has acquired a more practical character.
Of course, you can order gifts, but everyone has different options. So remember:
Of course, everything is individual. And, for example, relatives can give more expensive things, and friends can give simple souvenirs. With some requests it is generally inconvenient to go to your parents, with others to your husband or wife. We will look at different options.
In this case, we will talk about spouses and what is normal to ask your husband for a gift:
The family has a common budget and you know well what gifts your spouse will be able to handle. If he is not able to buy a new fur coat, make do with cheaper options: gloves, a wallet or something else. The main thing is that there is peace and tranquility in the family.
In the morning, everyone expects surprises under the Christmas tree, and men are no exception. What can they ask for themselves from Santa Claus? Again, it depends on the capabilities of the giver:
Or do it simply, say that you want an inexpensive, simple, but surprise. To look under the tree the next morning, unwrap it for a long time and then be very surprised.
Young people are not yet very wealthy in terms of money, and they can count on their parents to buy them the necessary thing for the holiday. But you need to be moderate in your requests, otherwise you may be disappointed:
Don't choose unnecessary expensive trinkets. If there is an opportunity, use it to your advantage. And the chances of getting a book or skates are greater than a game console, since the thing must be practical and useful in the understanding of parents.
Don't give long lists to your friends. In this case, you just need to check in and show your attention. If asked, offer something simple:
Say that you welcome any attention. Good company and a reliable shoulder are important to you, but the souvenir is small enough that you can do without it altogether.
Now it is fashionable to give emotions, that is, to organize some trips and events. This is a very good option, as the impressions will remain forever. Therefore you can choose:
The choice in this area is huge. The New Year is a really good chance to make your old dream come true: ride a snowmobile or learn how to sculpt with clay. In addition, you can invite your friends with you.
So, you wanted to know what you can ask for for the New Year. Any wish can come true on this holiday. But still, a surprise is always more interesting, it adds even more magic to the night.
In this video, Marina Vlasova will tell you what gifts you can ask from Santa Claus or your parents for the New Year:
In childhood, everything is so simple: I went up to my mother, asked to give Santa Claus a letter with wishes, and then found the treasured gift under the tree. With age, questions arise: where to go and who to ask in order to receive happiness in life. Most adults lose faith in magic and the main winter magician who makes any wish come true. Maybe in vain?
Miracles happen to those who believe in them. And age is completely unimportant here. There are little skeptics who were told by serious parents at the age of 5: “Santa Claus does not exist.” And the children’s fairy tale ended, but adults no longer had this fairy tale for a long time. In another family, mom and dad have retained a piece of childhood and are looking forward to the magical New Year's Eve with the same impatience as a son or daughter. A miracle will definitely happen in that house.
The father of the family will receive the gaming mouse he spotted at the computer store. And mom will have a new handbag, which she never dared to buy. But the main thing is that the winter wizard will surprise the child with a gift that was not even spoken about out loud (it was only in a letter, otherwise how would Grandfather Frost know?).
Have you behaved well this year? Did you listen to your parents and help your elders? Even if you are no longer 10 years old, no one has canceled the rules. Santa Claus has a gift for everyone. The most notorious tomboy will not remain offended on a fabulous night, but he is unlikely to get what he wanted more than anything else. Diligent study, help around the house, and attention to family and friends significantly increase the chance of getting what you want.
December has come - it's time to write a wish to the fairy-tale wizard. Armed with a piece of paper and a pen, we sit down at our desk and imagine a whole toy store under the Christmas tree. At this point it is worth slowing down. Grandfather is powerful, but not omnipotent. He will have to congratulate millions of children and adults. To fulfill all the wishes, the magician will have to work hard, running around the shops.
What can children order from Santa Claus:
What can't you do without? What do you dream about at night? Often, one single thing occupies all thoughts and desires. When there are many wishes, it is worth adhering to the rule: if the main gift is expensive, it is better to choose simpler ones.
Parents constantly limit their child's intake of sweets. Obviously, it's bad for your teeth and all that. But New Year's Eve is magical because it erases boundaries and restrictions. That's why there are always mountains of sweets under the New Year tree. But it’s not without its benefits.
Sweet gifts are complemented by books, construction sets, and educational games. And so that the children do not become numb from the January frosts, the caring Grandfather will bring sweaters, socks, scarves and other warm things.
Do you think that if Moroz is a grandfather, then he doesn’t understand anything about modern things? No, the magician keeps up with the times and knows what a Play-Doh set is, who the Winx, Bratz and Monster High dolls are, and why boys love Minecraft.
Girls can order as a gift:
For boys, Santa Claus can leave under the tree:
The New Year's wizard will be happy to give educational toys, for example, “Entertaining Physics”, “Young Chemist” sets, Lego, a home planetarium or a 3D pen.
Are you a serious adult and have stopped believing in fairy tales for a long time? Miracles happen in everyday life if you approach things creatively. Nominate someone to be your Santa Claus! Husband or wife, friend, for old time’s sake, contact your mom and dad. A serious gift will have to be sponsored, but a small original item is always nice to give to a loved one.
Remember your childhood and write a message, after all! Hang it on the refrigerator or give it to your personal assistant. Santa Claus, but you can actually send it to the address. He will definitely answer you and restore your faith in miracles. You will find postal coordinates below.
Another way is to send a request to the Universe. Yes, yes, don't laugh! You can formulate it mentally, you can write it on paper. You make your wish, and the Universe will find ways to make it come true. The main thing is to believe in miracles and correctly formulate your desire, otherwise you can get something like this) In general, dream and order.
No matter how ashamed you are, and how much your imagination allows. Ask for everything and more, and see how much the domestic Santa Claus has enough finances. Don't forget about intangible gifts: happiness, health, world peace.
A kind wizard brings practical things for adults under the Christmas tree: household appliances, useful things for the house, clothes. But you can ask him for more original things. Santa Claus is “in the know,” so he’ll grab a gift card to his favorite store and a fitness watch if he’s decided to really take care of himself in the new year.
What else can beautiful ladies expect on New Year's Eve:
Father Frost also prefers to give modern gifts to men:
And a bunch of souvenir little things for everyone:
What does the winter character do the rest of the year? He probably reads books, so he’s up to date with all the new releases and bestsellers. Santa Claus likes giving books even more. Choose the most interesting one on the Internet and feel free to indicate the name in the letter.
They don't punch you in the nose for asking. You can ask for an iPhone or any other phone. Whether he will give it or not is another question. Apple models of the 5th series (C, S and Plus) and 6th series (S and Plus) are affordable and suitable as a gift. New versions of the iPhone (7, 8, X) already cost serious money and not every Grandfather Frost can afford it (and even Santa Claus may choke on his beard if he discovers such a wish, the budget is not rubber).
Before adding a new gadget to your list of New Year's gifts, think carefully about whether it is suitable for your age and status. If 10-year-old Kolenka asks for the latest model Apple smartphone under the Christmas tree, Grandfather will chuckle in his beard and give the boy a cheaper device (at best). Or even a new train, so that Kolenka doesn’t forget how old he is.
A kind grandfather may not refuse 30-year-old manager Nikolai Petrovich. Ask, wish and you will be rewarded! Dreams tend to come true.
Little Alice writes “Dear Grandfather Frost, I really want to get a puppy for New Year, but my mother is allergic.” The wizard loves to make wishes come true, but what about a mother with allergies, because she will feel bad? One person's joy should not harm another. You should not ask for a dog or a cat if your relatives may have problems with washing because of this. This way you will put Santa Claus in an awkward position and the maximum you will get is a stuffed dog.
But if you know 100% that the parents will not object, feel free to ask for a hamster, guinea pig or any other cute animal. Just be sure to promise in the letter that you will look after him.
This is not the kind of gift you should expect from a New Year's magician. Such a request kills the very spirit of magic. How nice it is to find a beautifully packaged surprise under the Christmas tree! The special excitement of unwrapping a cherished gift cannot be compared to anything else.
You can ask for money for your birthday in order to save up for a serious and large present, for example, a laptop. But in extreme cases or in case of great need, you can ask Santa Claus for money, and this wish, like many others, will be fulfilled.
According to official statistics, Santa Claus is over a hundred years old; for him, everyone is a grandchild. And it is customary to give gifts to grandchildren, both small and large. As long as the magic of New Year's Eve lives in your heart, it is always open to fairy tales: at 10, at 30, and at 50.
Making a letter for Santa Claus is a real ritual. If you please the magician, you will receive the best gifts! So, what and how to do:
Place the paper in a nice envelope. If you wrote the letter together with your parents, check whether they will deliver the message themselves or you can personally drop it in the mailbox.
The real postal address of the famous grandfather:
Index – 162390
Country Russia
Region – Vologda
City: Veliky Ustyug.
Don't be afraid to make a mistake in the address. Postmen send all letters to their destination if the recipient is Santa Claus.
You remember that the wizard understands modern trends. That’s why he has a personal website, where you can also send a message: www.pochta-dm.ru
It is convenient for residents of the capital and the Moscow region to send letters to the residence closest to them at the address: 109472, Russia, Moscow, Kuzminsky Forest (addressee - Grandfather Frost).
Have you heard about Lapland, where Santa Claus lives? The same one who is our Father Frost, only without the Snow Maiden, but with deer. This amazing place is located in Finland, where the character is called Jolupukki, and his assistants are elves and gnomes. You can also write to Santa. Here is the address: 96930 Joulupukin kamman. Napapuri. Rovaniemi, Finland.
Grandfather has a lot of things to do on New Year's Eve. Millions of children are waiting for congratulations and gifts in our country and abroad. Frost needs to be on time everywhere so as not to upset anyone. Therefore, the wizard has many assistants for various tasks: answering letters, sorting and sending gifts, substituting at matinees if he himself does not have time, and so on. Sometimes parents have to sign up as assistants and try on a new image.
P.S. Feel the magic of the main holiday of the year. Become a personal Santa Claus for your loved ones, and the most important gift for you will be the joy and happiness of your loved ones.
