… and yet a Christmas party is inconceivable without gifts. We adults can certainly do without the madness of gifts and keep appealing that there is so much more to Christmas than just giving presents. But: We too were children and know from our own experience that gifts for children, along with all other beautiful rituals for Christmas, are simply the highlight on Christmas Eve. Did the Christ child read the wish list? Will the heart’s wishes of the dollhouse and car racing track come true this evening? So let’s just give the children the joy of the gifts!
But we also know that children have many wishes. And not all of them can be fulfilled, because they are simply not all to be paid and we do not want to pamper our children totally.
How many Christmas presents should there be??
Of course, this cannot be answered in a general way. Many parents want to give their children a lot of joy, especially at Christmas, and are happy to have a blast with the presents. And it is not bad to spoil children properly every now and then. As long as the parents their children give presents because they want to make them happy and not out of a guilty conscience, for example because they are used in everyday life little time spend with them.
Christmas gifts for children: the classics
By the way: Relatives and friends without their own children of the appropriate age often find it difficult to find a suitable gift. So you are sure to be happy about one or the other Tip what your child could be happy about. For example, small additional gifts for your gift are sure to be well received, ie accessories for the new play kitchen, a horse for the new Barbie, an additional set for the new racetrack, etc.
The relatives can also join together and make a slightly larger gift together. So nobody has the feeling that they are giving too little and the child may still have a heart wish that the parents could not have afforded alone. It also prevents the risk of a kind of competition between the relatives for the most beautiful gift – this also means that the Christ child or Santa Claus brings the gifts and not the grandmother or uncle. Donors should remember that. Wanting to collect plus points from the child with the largest, best or most expensive gift is inappropriate at Christmas, as on any other occasion.

Gift Strategy 3: Curb False Hopes
If your child wants something for Christmas that you cannot or do not want to give, explain to him, why you do not fulfill this wish for Christmas. It is best to conduct these conversations calmly and long before Christmas, so that unpacking the Christmas presents under the Christmas tree does not lead to disappointments.
And what if there are still tears and anger at the mess? Then you should try to keep your nerve and not blame yourself or your child for any failure. Talk to your child about the situation and explain again why they didn’t get that one thing. At first, the disappointment will be big, but sometimes it’s just that. A little later your child will surely come to terms with it and be happy about the other gifts.
