While the child you are buying a gift for may be able to have toys with smaller parts, it may be wiser to buy a different gift without the smaller parts if there are younger children in the house who could get into their sibling s toys. When choosing a gift for a child, think about what the child and parents are interested in. If the parents are against guns, it may not be a good choice to buy a toy gun for the child. The same holds true for play knives, bows and arrows, and other toys that may not be what the parents want their child to have. When buying a gift for a smaller child, for example a child who is under two, many people like to buy cute little outfits.
Clothing is a great gift, if the article of clothing is chosen properly.
Do not buy clothing with tiny buttons, or other decorations that a small child may be able to pop off and put in his or her mouth. Pants or one-piece outfits with snaps at the legs and crotch make for easier changing of diapers. Snaps at the neck or on the shoulder make it easier to dress the child also. Clothing that is a bit bigger than the child needs at that time will be appreciated, because children grow out of clothes so quickly. Also consider the season when purchasing clothing.
