Christmas is coming and the need to start shopping becomes a priority for many families. Of course, children are thinking and wishing gifts and not always who is going to give the gift can choose or even when buying, it becomes a difficult mission. There are some aspects to take into account, such as the will of those who win the gift and also of those who are buying. So this research shows a little of the current profile both of the children who are choosing gifts earlier and earlier, as well as the parents’ taste when buying the long-awaited Christmas present. How will the parents use the criteria to choose the ideal Christmas present for their children?
The survey done here on the blog of the 10 best Christmas gifts and answered by the readers suggested some options of categories that would be ideal for the occasion for moms to vote, such as clothes, toys, electronics and others.
1-What is the best Christmas gift category for children?
I also suggested some items that could please the children more and that would be the bestsellers at this time of year and we saw that the mothers’ preference was the bicycle in the first place. See the result of mom’s preference for the question:
2-Which of these Christmas gifts do you consider the best for your child?
Well, as we can see there is a controversy in the opinion of moms if we compare the two polls , in the first poll we saw that most would like or are going to give toys and in the second survey the electronics are also a large part of the slice of intentions. If we add the 14% of votes for tablets and 8% of the intentions for electronic games coupled with the 4% for cell phones, we can see that the preference would still be the electronics surpassing the 20% of the intentions for bicycles, which theoretically was the most voted.
The reason for this boom in electronic equipment came with the arrival of the most modern products and also with more affordable prices in Brazil, combined with the trips made by Brazilian families abroad, which are more frequent and facilitated both by the low dollar in recent times and by the facility offered by companies.
According to research carried out by the Nielsen Institute in the United States, it was found that the majority of children aged 6 to 13 years old really want to win electronic products, they are called several devices, among them Ipad, Xbox, Nintendo, Ipods and many others that are fever among the kids. The Manoel de Barros Foundation research institute , Anhanguera College and Fe comercio,did similar research and also found that the object of children’s desire is electronic products and increasingly earlier. The comparison between one research and another leads to the conclusion that what I see in practice inside my home is really reflected in several other families. The desire for electronics far outweighed the desire for conventional toys and has been increasing day by day and increasingly earlier by children.
The clothing that can please many moms ranked second in the current research and also in search of Manoel de Barros Foundation. With 25% of preferencein research, she shows that clothes are still a good gift, they are just more loved by moms than by children certainly. Combined with clothing, toys that can provide even more health to children, such as the bicycle and other educational and distracting toys, can stop taking the first place in a short time if we take into account that many parents and family members meet the children’s wishes right away to buy christmas present and we also know that especially at christmas the amount paid for the purchase of gifts increase , and from one year to the other and a date as children’s day for example, where you spend a lot less than at Christmas.
Another aspect to take into account is Dad’s willingness to choose the Christmas gift for children. Often the opinion of who will win the gift is associated with the pocket at the time of purchase, but generally the dads feel the need to meet the child’s wishes at the time of purchase. The items that have grown in sales in this situation are the interactive game consoles such as video games PSP, PS3, Nintendo, Xbox and others. But there was also an increase in the purchase of motorized motorcycles, the result of dads who can spend a little more on this gift, which can cost more than R $ 1,000.00 and come and agree that the 13th salary helps a lot in these purchases.
Of course, there is a concern from parents about it, and we clearly see that the preference for the bicycle became clear since it provides physical activity that has become less and less with the growth of the electronic market and more affordable prices, yet moms try to take playful toys that provide physical health inside the home. Recalling that the importance beyond technology, electronic toys such as tablets can add a very high educational value if used for the purpose of educating the child , with educational games available on the two platforms that predominate tablet systems, Android and the IOS.
The concern with the lack of outside and outdoor games with traditional toys is also a factor that led to this result. Quite different from the result presented in the intention research with children. The little ones, on the other hand, want the most colorful toys such as Play Doo dough and realistic dolls, which also contain technology. They are dolls that eat baby food and make real food. Coincidence? No, the media is very strong and the impact it has on your commercials and the frequency with which they appear on TV become overwhelming.
Finally, we can conclude that the parents’ attempt to introduce forms from the time when we were children in the lives of their children may encounter some resistance shown by the research of intention for Christmas gifts. Regardless of what your child chooses and what their pocketbook might pay, it ‘s time to stop and analyze all the possibilities, and if they enter into an agreement, Christmas will be a success!
Good shopping!

My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
