Things Remembered Coupon Code: 6 Top tips that make buying gifts for kids child’s play

Buying gifts and toys for children is not always as easy as you would think.  How many times have you spent time and money buying a toy only to find that the child immediately discarded it in favour of the box that it came in?

Although it’s doubtful that anything will overcome the box versus toy dilemma, this article offers six practical tips to help ensure that your carefully chosen gift becomes a much-loved favourite toy.

Here we need to offer a word of warning though.  Unless you have grown up children or are planning never to have a family, it’s always better to avoid certain types of toys, particularly noisy toys like drums – as it is highly likely that the child’s parents will get their revenge in the future.

1 - Choose toys that don’t command the child

Many toys on the market direct children by asking them to press buttons or perform tasks.  Yet, such toys do little to encourage creative play and children quickly become bored with them once the novelty has worn off.

Good toys usually provide children with a platform for play rather than directing their play. Look for toys that allow children to use their imagination.  Traditional toys like tea sets and toy garages are good examples of such toys.

2 - Pick a toy that encourages creativity

Toys that can be taken apart and re-constructed into other shapes or objects encourage children to use their imagination and will provide them with hours of play.  Just think about how long Lego has been around.

Play Dough, pens, crayons and sketchbooks are also popular favourites, while dolls, teddy bears and action men encourage children to create their own stories through role play.

3 - Check that more than one child can play

While it’s good for children to play alone, it’s also important for them to play with others. Check that the toy encourages social interaction and allows more than one child to play at a time, like many board games.  Even young children can be encouraged to enjoy simple board games.

4 - Beware toys that promise brain growth

If the blurb on the box is promising to make your child smarter or bilingual - beware. Such claims are extravagant and often unfounded.

5 - Use common sense – look and listen!

If you have children of your own you will know the type of toys that were hits and also which were misses.  If you don’t have any children, maybe you can try to remember what toys you liked when you were their age – many of the tried and tested toys from your childhood will still be around today in some shape or form.
If all else fails, ask.  Speak to friends and relatives to see what their kids’ favourite toys are to pick up some helpful ideas.

6 - Keep it simple

While complex toys with lots of gadgets, flashing lights and fancy features may look impressive, simple toys often work best. They are less likely to break and their simplicity encourages the child to use their imagination and play.

It’s also worth setting a budget and sticking to it.  Children, especially young children, are rarely impressed by the price of a gift – all they want is something fun to play with.  Also, close family and friends apart, if you buy an expensive gift for a child, the parents may feel embarrassed or feel obliged to spend as much on your child in return, which can lead to feelings of resentment. 

Follow our top tips for buying toys for kids and I’m sure you’ll find that shopping for gifts for children becomes much more fun.  In fact, with our help, buying toys for kids becomes child’s play.

Things Remembered Coupon Code: WEDDING GIFTING: THE BRIDAL SHOWER

There’s no doubt that bridal shower registries are convenient. But they have all the sentimentality of grocery store shopping list. Sure, you’re getting the happy couple exactly what they want, but there’s something so impersonal about it. After all, this is a wedding gift. It should have some feeling, shouldn’t it?

This is especially true since many of the gifts that you select from a bridal shower registry will be unwrapped at the shower to the “oohs” and “ahhs” of friends and family. And it’s hard for the crowd to keep their enthusiasm for blenders and soup tureens.

ADD SOMETHING MORE

So why not supplement your standard registry gift with something that will add a little personality. Something that says something about your relationship with the couple, or that will say something about the couple themselves.

It’s our specialty at Things Remembered to create customizable, highly personal gifts. And we have lots of options that will compliment your registry gift nicely.

PERSONALIZE THE DETAILS

    Now, no one at the shower is going to break away from the snack table to make excited noises when the bride-to-be unwraps a toaster. But wait – what’s that other gift that goes with the toaster? Maybe it’s something from Things Remembered, like a State-Shaped Bamboo Cutting Board? That’s different. That’s unique. Maybe it’s the bride’s home state? Or the state where she went to college? Or the state where they’re moving to after the wedding? These fun, functional cutting boards make unique gifts, and can be engraved with the date of the wedding, or maybe the zip code of the bride’s hometown. It’s a guaranteed conversation starter, and it’s functional decoration for the bride’s new kitchen – that’s a win-win.

Getting the idea?

ADDING SOME SPARKLE TO THE GIFT

Did the bride put a set of kitchen towels on the registry? Of course she did; everyone needs kitchen towels. And she’ll appreciate when you get them. But it’s unlikely in a couple of years that she’ll look at that towel as she’s using it to take a tray of lasagna out of the oven and think of her deep and lasting friendship with you. But what if inside of those kitchen towels, there’s another gift – like our Sterling Silver Script Initial Necklace. This ¾” pendant can comes on an 18” silver chain. Choose the bride’s first initial and then have a special message engraved on the lid of the keepsake box. That’s a gift that will be remembered always.

THE CROCKPOT…

Then there’s that other mainstay of the registry: the dreaded crockpot. Functional. Utilitarian. And with all the personality of, well … a crockpot. Yawns all around. But you can spice up this gift by putting a special surprise into the crockpot itself – like a Baldwin Antique Brass Doorknocker. Nicely engraved with the bride’s new last name, it’s sure to say a lot more about the new family she’s establishing than a slow-cooker. And whenever she walks in her front door, she’ll see that classic doorknocker and remember the person who selected a gift with true personality.

CHEERS TO THE BRIDE (AND MONOGRAMS)

Wine is something that you might bring to shower to be enjoyed during the event. But why not bring a little something else – like a set of six Reidel O Stemless Cabernet Glasses. These modern, elegant glasses are from the makers of the original stemless red wine glasses, and can be personalized with the bride’s new monogram on one side, and a special message on the other.

Elevate your bridal shower gift giving by adding some personality – and something personal – from Things Remembered Promo Code.

Things Remembered Coupon Code: A QUICK GUIDE TO LAST-MINUTE WEDDING GIFTS

For some of us, there’s no minute like the last minute. Hey, life’s busy. It gets in the way of lots of things. And sometimes, life can even cause you to lose track of important things on your to-do list – like checking out your best friend’s wedding registry and getting them a gift.

Whoops.

Being a late visitor to a wedding registry can cause something of a gift-giving crisis. Naturally, all the toasters, blenders and pasta bowl sets are gone, and the only things left are a $500 espresso machine and an even more shockingly expensive set of copper pots. So you’re stuck.

Or are you?

Actually, you can go off registry and still score the perfect wedding gift. What’s more, you can find these gifts quickly and at an affordable price. It’s true: don’t look at missing out on all those early wedding registry gifts as a mistake; look at it as an opportunity to get a truly memorable gift for your friends.

Wedding registries are often filled with lots of practical (or, let’s face it, impractical) items that will not be a big factor in the newlyweds’ lives for very long. Before the first anniversary, that juicer is likely to be stuffed into the back of the pantry, and the china place settings will only make an appearance on Thanksgiving. Maybe.

DON’T WORRY, WE CAN HELP

But Things Remembered has wedding gift options for the bride and groom that are sure to be cherished by the new couple for years to come. And personalization options take these gifts way beyond the run-of-the-mill registry gifts. You’ll be happy to find a whole new world of fun and memorable gifts that aren’t food processors and robot vacuum cleaners.

UPGRADE THEIR HOME

Home décor items are an ideal opportunity to commemorate the nuptials of the new husband and wife in your life. Think about it: these two have established a new family; two have come together to become one. Monogramming useful items with the new couple’s shared surname or initials is a great way to give your gift pride of place in their new home. Whether it’s pint glasses, hefty beer steins, stemless wine glasses, or even copper Moscow Mule mugs, Things Remembered has a wide range of bar items that are perfect for entertaining. Cutting boards can also be great display opportunities for initials.

FRAME IT! 

After the wedding, the one thing new married couples will have plenty of is pictures. While many will go into albums, the couple is sure to have favorites that they’ll want to display. Of course, a great photos cries out for a great frame. And by engraving the date of the Big Day on a frame will give those wedding photos a home – and a prominent display place in the new couple’s home. Things Remembered has Love Knot frames designed by noted wedding designer Vera Wang, and couple and “MR and MRS” shadow box frames perfect for holding not just photos, but also other wedding memories.

PERSONALIZED THE HONEYMOON TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

The best part of the wedding happens right after the wedding: the honeymoon. For the bride and groom, this first trip together means a romantic adventure. For you, it means tons of great gift ideas. Those new initials don’t just belong in the home – and you can help them make their first public appearance. Monogrammed travel bags are gifts that will let your newly married friends show off their union in style and will be used and appreciated for years.

We’re hoping that you use this blog for inspiration, to prove that not all great wedding gifts are found on registries. Of course, all these great last-minute wedding gift ideas may also inspire you procrastinators out there to, well, procrastinate even more. And for that, we apologize.
